🍂 Fall at the Orchard 🍂: We’re so excited for our favorite season of the year—FALL! From apple cider and fresh-baked treats to waterfront lunch at the Cider House, apple picking adventures, and everything in between, there’s no better time to visit the Orchard. Fall is also our busiest season, and with so many guests joining us, you may experience longer wait times, crowds, and the joyful energy that comes with the harvest. We truly appreciate your patience as our team works hard to serve everyone and make your visit extra special. We can’t wait to welcome you and your family out soon to celebrate the magic of fall with us.
*No outside food or beverage (exception of water) is permitted on weekends, but The Cider House is open on Saturdays from 11-5pm and Sundays from 1-5pm for a delicious waterfront lunch and beverage selection. If you are visiting us on a weekday, we encourage guests to pack a picnic to enjoy under our pine trees.
