Apple Picking
You can slice ’em ... you can sauce ’em ...
you can bake ’em ... you can pie ’em -- but here’s
what you need to know about picking ’em!
follow these tips for making your
U-pick apple adventure as fun as
it is delicious!
#1 Wear a hat or bandana, plus sunscreen
and bug spray. Bugs like
apples, too, so beware of insect
bites and stings.
#2 Wear comfortable, closed-toe
shoes that you don’t mind getting
dirty. Flip-flops are a bad idea!
#3 Dress comfortably and wear
clothes that are okay to get a
little dirty.
#4 Bring your camera and a bag or
backpack. You’ll want to capture
all the fun memories!
#5 Be kind to the fruit and fair to
the farmer.
#6Wet wipes are your friend!
#7 If it has rained recently, the
ground may still be wet. Tread
carefully and watch your step!
#8 All U-pick experiences involve a
tractor ride, so be prepared for
some fun (and a big step up into
the wagon).
#9 U-pick typically runs on weekends
at Mercier Orchards and
daily at Mountain View Orchard.
Call ahead or check online to
find out what’s available in the
orchard — and the market!
Know before you go!
