HAPPY APPLE PICKING SEASON 2020!
We are excited to open on Saturday September 12th and are looking forward to an amazing apple season. There is a fabulous crop of all varieties that are waiting for you and you family to enjoy. This weekend we will be picking Macintosh and Cortland. If you like your apples a bit on the tart side, you'll love these early season apples. Our retail area will be stocked with freshly picked Macintosh and Cortland if you prefer a quick pickup. We’ll also have freshly made apple cider donuts (while they last) and plenty of cider, Drew Farm Root Beer and water. Our picnic area will be open with tables placed at safe distances from one another. LukiesFortune will provide our live entertainment Saturday and Sunday after 12.
We have made a couple of changes to our PYO operation in the hopes to keep everyone safe. Our retail area is strictly for retail sales. There will be a separate line where you can purchase your bags for apple picking that will enable everyone to maintain a 6 foot distance between groups. Unfortunately, because we want to be sure that everyone is a safe social distance from one another, we will not be offering tractor rides this year 😢
In compliance with state regulations and with respect to patrons and employees we ask that you abide by the following:
Retail:
Face covering/mask is mandatory in the retail area
Please do not include more family members than necessary when checking out in the retail area
Orchard:
We have designed the pick your own route into the orchard so that you will have minimal face to face contact. We appreciate your patience, as we will not provide tractor rides at this time. Face covering/mask is mandatory in the PYO line
While in the orchard, we ask that you maintain social distancing guidelines of a six (6) foot buffer between individuals or family units
If you plan to picnic, tables are spaced a safe distance apart. We want you to enjoy your visit! Please do not move the tables without the assistance of a Drew Farm employee
Please refrain from sampling apples and dropping them on the ground.
Children should maintain close proximity to family members and guardians while in the orchard.
