FALL HARVEST HAS BEGUN, PICK YOUR OWN FRUIT BEGINS SEPT 4!  We can almost smell the CIDER!

After one of our finest peach harvests in history, we’re shifting gears into apple season and fall fruits. We’ll kick off our annual Pick Your Own season on September 4 – the Saturday of Labor Day weekend – with PYO apples and raspberries. Pumpkins will follow shortly after!

We’re also gearing up for our 4th Annual PickFest – Harvest Bluegrass Festival on Saturday, October 9. This is our premiere event of the year and a jammin’ good time with PYO, a fall food celebration, live bluegrass in the Frecon orchard, carriage rides, hay rides, kids’ games, and more! This year will also mark the innaugural Frecon’s Hard Cider release – with 3 special brews coming your way October 9!
