Trailer Rides
Tractor-drawn trailer rides are available during the picking season on the weekends. They run from 11am-5pm and are weather permitting. We offer free admission into our orchards and tractor rides are free too! You can pick apples 7 days a week from 9am to 4:30pm.
Dog policy- We love dogs here at Apex and if you decide to bring your furry friend along, we ask that you please keep them leashed and pick up after them. This helps keep the orchard clean, safe and happy for everyone.
