Purchases & Policies

A lot of hard work goes into growing apple trees. Did you know it takes a minimum of 5 years before a tree produces a significant crop of apples? If you damage a young tree so it needs replacing, we have to wait 5 years before we can recoup our loss. And that makes fewer apples for you to pick and enjoy! So please respect our orchard by following our policies listed below. Thank you.

How Do I Pay?

We accept payment through Square Point of Sale, this includes all major credit cards and cash.  No checks, please!

You must purchase a new Smith Farm Apple Bag each time you visit or revisit the orchard.

It is always a good idea to bring cash with you in the event that our system is down; we are a mobile setup and rely on cell towers for wifi to process credit cards.

We do not provide refunds.

No Pets

Unfortunately, No Pets Are Allowed. Service Dogs Are Welcome.

Note: The Service Dog’s Task Must Be Directly Related To The Person’s Disability. Comfort/Support Animals Do Not Qualify Under The American Disability Act Guidelines. Improperly Trained Animals Can Endanger Others And Affect The Biological Security Of This Or Any Food Production Facility. Thank You For Your Cooperation.

Please Pick Only What You Pay For

If your bag is full please stop picking! Please don’t pick and throw the apples on the ground. Once the apples are off the tree we can no longer sell them!

Due to health code restrictions, no sampling in the orchard.

If you are observed picking significantly more than you paid for, you will be asked to buy another bag (e.g. filling a stroller/wagon, handbags, sweatshirts, etc.) All nonpayment is considered theft and will be treated accordingly.

Handicap Access

For our first weekend of picking we provide a free hayride to the picking area, if you need other accommodations please let a staff member know and we would be happy to assist you.

We recommend that handicapped persons or groups interested in apple picking come early in the season (1st few weeks of September) to avoid traversing hilly, rough terrain later in the season. Also, Mondays through Wednesdays tend to be less busy than the weekends and therefore might be easier to navigate for those who have mobility issues.

Handicapped assistance animals are allowed per state law, however also per state law, we reserve the right to ask you to remove the animal from the fruit-producing areas of the orchard if:

– You are not in control of the animal
– You are not following farm policies applicable to everyone
– Your animal violates health code policies in fruit-producing areas of the orchard

Children Must Be Supervised

The orchard is large and is bordered by woodlands. Need we say more?

Strollers And Wagons

We have had a lot of questions about whether strollers and wagons are allowed into the orchard. To clarify, “We allow them as a means to transport a child in the orchard but not as a means to carry apples!” Thank you for your cooperation.

No Tree Climbing

In most cases, our trees are young or are pruned to have young branches. They will not support the weight of children or adults. We do not want anyone or our trees to get hurt.

Stay In Designated Areas

We only open varieties that are ready to be picked. To avoid picking unripe fruit or entering areas that may be unsafe, please remain in the marked picking area.

Varieties available for picking are listed that day at the front of the orchard and we attempt to keep up with posting varieties on Facebook, Instagram, and our website.
