Farm’s abundant fruit patches and orchards provide visitors with the pick of the season

Once you taste the fruit you pick off the bush, tree or vine at Bishop’s Orchards, you may never go back to buying it off the grocery shelves! The highest-quality fruits are grown at the family farm, which goes back to 1871. The pick-your-own season starts in mid-June with luscious strawberries, then continues with several varieties of blueberries; soft, fuzzy-skinned freestone peaches; sweet, tangy raspberries; then, from late August to mid-September, Bartlett and Bosc pears. Over 20 varieties of apples make their appearance from late August to late October, when a tractor trailer will take you from the parking area into the orchards. The season wraps up from mid-September to Halloween with pumpkins (and lots of family activities). Don’t forget to visit the market and the Creamery!
