APPLES

Apple picking is a great way to spend a fall day with your friends and family. It's fun for all ages, from toddlers to seniors. We grow 5 apple varieties and their ripening times are listed below.

We planted our first 100 apple trees in 1996. Since then we have planted 900 additional trees and now have 1000 dwarf trees of varieties ranging from Honey Crisp, which ripens in early September, to Golden Delicious which ripens in early October. In between there are Gala's, Cortlands, and Jonagolds.

PUMPKINS

Turn your fall pumpkin picking into a family event at Prairie Sky Orchard. For the authentic pumpkin selecting experience, we offer "pick-your-own" right from the patch. For the less adventurous we also offer pre-picked pumpkins available in many sizes.

We have giant pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, pie pumpkins, white pumpkins, cinderella pumpkins, and even pumpkins with a bluish/slate color. We also have an interesting variety of gourds and squash.

Our pumpkin picking season starts the last weekend in September and goes through the end of October.

So grab a wagon and start picking!

  
  

 
RASPBERRIES

Wander amongst our raspberry rows and pick your own fresh raspberries straight from the bush.

We feature the fall variety, which ripens the beginning of September through the first heavy frost.


  
 
GOURMET FOODS

A variety of tasty delights await you and your family in our pole barn. We have gathered a savory selection of foods you're sure to enjoy.

Take home our popular cider donuts (available on weekends) and apple cider. For dessert, be sure to check out the gourmet pies, dried cherries, and caramel apples.

You will also find a variety of Amish jams & jellies, pie fillings, pickles, and salad dressing. Bread and pancake mixes round out the selections.

Don't forget to savor the salsa and other gourmet delicacies packed with fall flavor.


  
 
FALL DECORATIONS

We are delighted to offer a beautiful selection of fall decorations to make your home festive both inside and out.

In our pole barn you will find Indian corn, corn stalks, bales of straw, potpourri, scarecrow items, swags, wreaths, wooden signs, wall hangings, pumpkin stakes, baskets, luminaries, enamel ware, candles, and mum flowers.

If you enjoy the homespun feeling of fall country decor, then come and enjoy a relaxing time at Prairie Sky Orchard!
