🍎 APPLE PICKING AT BEASLEY’S ORCHARD IS HERE!
This is one of those fall traditions that means a little more to me every year. I brought my oldest to Beasley's Orchard for apple picking when he was just one month old, and six years later, we’re still walking these same orchard rows together. 🥹🍎

Planning your own U-Pick day? SAVE this Know Before You Go:
🍎 U-Pick Bag Pricing
• Half Peck | $10 | about 12 apples
• Peck | $17 | about 24 apples
• Half Bushel | $30 | about 48 apples
🟢 LOOK FOR THE GREEN FLAGS!
A green flag at the end of the row means those apples are ripe and ready to pick. No green flag = leave them on the tree a little longer!
🌳 Beasley’s has 20+ apple varieties available throughout the season, with different varieties becoming ready at different times.
🌱 See some younger-looking trees? They’re part of the orchard’s continued growth! You can still find some of Beasley’s original trees that have been there for around 40 years—perfect for those classic orchard photos. Just remember not to pick from them unless their row is marked ready!
👜 You MUST purchase a Beasley’s U-Pick bag to enter the orchard. Outside bags, backpacks, totes and containers are not permitted.
🐶 Pets are not permitted in the U-Pick orchard due to food-safety regulations.
⏰ Orchard access ends at 5:30 PM for a 6 PM closing.
🍏 Availability can change throughout the growing season, so check for current picking updates before heading out.
Maybe this is the year apple picking becomes one of your family’s favorite fall traditions too. 🤎

📌 SAVE this for your fall bucket list + SEND it to someone you want to go apple picking with!
