It’s that exciting time of year again – apple season is officially here! Centennial Farms is thrilled to announce the opening of our apple picking season starting Saturday, August 17.

This year, you can look forward to picking the season’s early varieties: Jonathan, Cortland, Empire, Gala and Ruby Jon. All are known for their crisp texture and delicious flavor, perfect for snacking, baking or making fresh cider.

Please note that while we’re kicking off the season with these early varieties, our popular Golden Delicious apples won’t be ripe until September. So if those are your favorites, plan to visit us again!

In a special treat for our visitors, we’re waiving the entrance fee throughout August. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy the orchard without any additional costs – just the fun of picking apples and savoring the outdoors.

We’re open from 9 AM to 5 PM every Saturday and Sunday, so there’s plenty of time to come out and enjoy the day with family and friends. Whether you’re a seasoned apple picker or new to the experience, we look forward to welcoming you to Centennial Farms.

Don’t miss out on this delightful start to the apple season – we can’t wait to see you at the orchard!
