Enjoy Our Orchards

Entrance Is Free!

Robinette’s grows a variety of fruit, including apricots, cherries, peaches, nectarines, pears, and apples, on our 125-acre property. We grow 35 varieties of apples, harvested as early as July and as late as the beginning of November. Some apple varieties are grown primarily for hard cider production.

We invite you and your family to come enjoy our beautiful orchards! Unlike other destinations, entrance is free, so you only pay for the activities and foods you choose to enjoy while you’re here.

Please note that the orchards are closed to the public in September and October, except for U-Pick activities when available. Please follow all “Orchard Off Limits” and “Do Not Pick” signs.

Seasonal Fruit Harvests

There’s nothing like picking fresh fruit off the tree. Cherry season usually starts around the first of July, sometimes earlier depending on the weather. Peaches, nectarines, and apricots are available to purchase in August. Apple season usually starts in late August or early September, with U-Pick beginning mid-September. Because we can’t predict exactly when each variety will ripen or how quickly it will be picked, our U-Pick schedule changes often. Please check our Facebook or call before you come out.
