It is officially apple season! That said, we will NOT be offering any U-Pick apples this year. As you may or may not be aware, we lost most of our apple crop this spring when frost hit our trees in the middle of bloom. We currently have pre-picked Pink Luster, Gala, Honey Crisp, and Johnathan apples available in our store. We also have U-Pick Raspberries.

We would like to give our biggest and warmest THANK YOU to Benny and Rosalie Salamone and their staff at Salamone's in Cherry Valley. .cherryvalley Who were kind enough to help out during a tough time at our orchard. As you may or may not know, we lost our entire cherry crop, a portion of our blueberries, and most of our apples to several frost events in the early spring. In response to our loss, they offered to donate a portion of their profits to us. It was a very heartening gesture we will surely not forget. Do us a favor and thank them in person for us when you stop in for lunch or dinner! Thank you Salamone's!

Hello everyone! It's almost Cherry Season.... or it would be if we had any. Unfortunately it was a very rough spring for us at Valley Orchard. Due to climate change our trees were blooming about 2 or 3 weeks early in the middle of April. Our crops endured 3 hard frosts in April and May and we lost all of our Cherry harvest and most of our apple harvest. You will find a similar situation at most/all other sour cherry farmers in the region.

We will still have blueberries around the first week in July.

Today was our last day of the season! We would like to thank you all for another great apple season. We will have rhubarb and asparagus around May. If you need something from us and see us here, don't be afraid to stop in and we'll help as best as we can. Thank you all! We'll see you next year!
