Our Throwback Thursday event was such a success we plan to continue it for the rest of the season. Our apple prices on Thursdays will be $1.10 for all apples for the rest of this apple season. We are also reducing our regular price from $1.90/lb. to $1.50/lb. because we have such a large crop of apples this year. We want everyone to be able to enjoy them.
We are currently harvesting Honeycrisp, Gala, Jonagold and Fuji apples.
We will also be moving to our Fall orchard schedule next week. We will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10:00AM-5:00PM
Bartlett, Moonglow and Asian Pears
There is a good crop of pears ready for picking. All of the pear varieties are now ready to be picked.
The u-pick pear price is $.90/lb
Here are the fruit varieties in the orchard. Varieties that are currently available are in red. They are listed in approximate ripening order. Varieties that are lined out have all been harvested for this year. We will provide a weekly update letting you know when these items are ready to be picked.

Orchard Etiquette. Please consider the following when you come to pick.
- Please leave pets at home. No matter how well behaved your pet may be, it is likely that others, particularly children, may be afraid of it. We strive to have a place children feel comfortable and appreciate your help in this way. Please leave pets at home.
- Please pick where directed. There may be fruit in other areas that looks appealing to you. There are many reasons we specify where to pick. Please pick only in the designated picking area for the day. We don’t mind at all if you walk through other areas in the orchard but we ask that you only look when outside of the designated picking area.
- A portable toilet is provided. It is the only appropriate place to use the restroom.
- Your children may notice a play structure and trampoline in our back yard. We are not able to allow customers to utilize these toys.
We encourage you to forward our email to family or friends. Anyone who wants to be added to the email list just needs to send a request to info@bellsorchard.com. Besides the email list, other ways to know what is available in the orchard is by liking us on Face Book at ‘Bells Orchard’ or on our web page at www.bellsorchard.com
When you make your purchase we prefer cash or checks but are also able to accept debit/credit cards.
We have both u-pick and we-pick fruit. However, we do not keep picked fruit available in our store. If you would like us to pick fruit for you please call one day ahead to place an order. We will have it ready for you when you come. We add .25 per pound to our u-pick price when we do the picking.
Remember our orchard is “short” so no ladders are needed for picking. Children can often reach the fruit and assist in the harvest.
