U-pick & parking update
U-pick is open—the orchard is ripe-ish!
Nearly the whole orchard is ready for picking, so check in with our staff and come enjoy the apples.
The grass parking lot is half open. Please do not drive between the cones or you may get stuck, and try to park on hard surfaces first. Groups coordinating 10 or more vehicles: please give us a heads-up ahead of time by calling (319) 377-1408 or sending a message through our Contact page, so we can be properly prepared. Thank you for your patience!
The first apples are ready
Come for the apples. Leave with a fall tradition.
We’re open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. Start the season with Zestar!, Redfree, Williams’ Pride, and Dandee Red.
Worth the once-a-season trip
One orchard day. All the good parts of fall.
Most guests come once each season, so the experience should feel special without taking work to figure out. Check the day, follow the map, and enjoy the orchard at your own pace.
