Head over the pass to Stutzman Ranch if your kids love crunchy, juicy Fuji and Gala apples. Starting in late August Gala apples, Bartlett and Asian pears will be ripe and ready for picking. Everyone visiting the farm who is 12 or older will be charged a $5 U-pick minimum. (For example, a group of 4 people over 12 would be expected to pick at least $20 worth of fruit, to cover the $5 minimum for each person.) This comes out to approximately 6 pounds of apples per person, and you are of course encouraged to pick more!
Get pickin’: Most apple varieties will be ready sometime between August–September. When U-pick fruit is available, the farm is open daily, 9 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Check the Facebook page or call and listen to their message for current U-pick information. Weekends get very busy, so they suggest coming during the week for a more relaxed U-pick experience.
