A visitor writes on October 07, 2008: "We've been there June through September and found them open. They have a small fruit stand area where they sell drinks for hot, thirsty pickers. They have a porta-potty. The unique thing is that they grow probably 20 varieties of peaches, so they are coming ripe all through the summer. Very well. The apple trees are relatively new...and the fall activities, I called and they said in October they are only open on Saturday for some apple picking (not a lot left) and Fall celebration activities.....mazes, apple picking, maybe some other things. They are well established" (Suggested by a visitor, ADDED: October 07, 2008) (UPDATED: May 18, 2009)
