ORCHARD UPDATES

  • 🍇💜 THE CONCORD GRAPES ARE READY! 💜🍇

    If you’ve been waiting all year for that unmistakable taste of fresh Concord grapes, THIS is the moment! 🌿🍇

    There’s a reason people come back to Autumn Hills Orchard every year for them. They’re sweet, juicy, intensely grape-y, and bursting with that classic Concord flavor you just can’t get from ordinary table grapes. And the best part?

    🍇 Eat them fresh by the handful
    🍇 Make homemade Concord grape jelly or jam
    🍇 Cook up grape pie, crisp, cobbler or muffins
    🍇 Make fresh grape juice
    🍇 Freeze them for smoothies and treats
    🍇 Add them to cheese boards and salads
    🍇 Cook them into sauces and desserts
    🍇 Or simply enjoy that first juicy grape and be transported right back to fall! 🍇❤️

    And there’s plenty more to pick! 🍎

    And there’s more pre-picked fruit in the retail barn: Pristine apples, three varieties of plums, local honey, and our own hard cider, with apples grown, harvested, and fermented right on the farm! 🍻 It is a fresh, crisp way to start a summer weekend!

    For PYO, The blueberries may be finished, but blackberries are still out there, and raspberries for “treasure hunters”, as the bushes prepare for their fall crop!

    Come support your local farm! Don’t wait—once this peach season is over, it’s a whole year until we get to do it again! 🍑

    Open 10 to 4, Wednesdays through Sundays!

  • 🍏 The day so many have been waiting for is finally here… the first APPLES of the season have arrived! 🍏

    Pristine apples are the very first taste of fall, and orchard fans know just how special they are. Crisp, incredibly juicy, and bursting with a sweet flavor balanced by just a hint of tartness, they’re everything you hope the first apple of the season will be. Their thin skin and refreshing crunch make them perfect for eating fresh-right out of your hand.🍎🍏

    Available pre-picked in our retail barn today, along with sweet Au Rosa plums, Shiro Plums, tree-ripened nectarines, and peaches. We also have a limited number of B grade nectarines offered at half price for cooking, canning, jams and jellies!
    If you’d rather pick your own, the fields are still offering delicious blueberries and raspberries!

    Open 10 AM–4 PM. Come enjoy the best of both seasons—summer berries and the very first taste of autumn! 🌞🍎🫐

Made from apples grown, harvested, fermented, and canned right here at Autumn Hills Orchard, it’s truly a farm-to-can experience. What makes it unique?

It brings subtle notes of pepper, citrus, and warm spice, adding complexity and a crisp, refreshing finish that pairs beautifully with our orchard-grown apples.
