Apple You-Picks
The Meadowlark apple orchard comprises more than 2000 trees, of more than 20 apple varieties. The earliest apples ripen in July, and latest ripen in November, allowing local families to pick-your-own for four months each season. As each apple variety ripens, Meadowlark Farm posts a description on their Facebook Page.
Pumpkin Patch
This is a true autumn farm experience with pumpkins on the vine! Bring your own knife or shears to cut these pumpkins off the vine. Walk through the apple orchard on the way to the pumpkin patch and pick some late apples from trees bursting with fruit, then get your pumpkins and ride back to the farm store on the antique hayrack ride.
