Pick Your Own Fruit

Experience fruit at its freshest by picking it straight from the trees: Spicer Orchards offers a variety of pick-your-own fruits throughout the summer and fall. Summer favorites include sweet cherries, red raspberries, and blueberries. Of course, once September rolls around, there’s also a diverse lineup of apples to pick.

In addition to offering the freshest flavor, picking your own fruit is a great way to experience where your food comes from. It also helps you learn what’s in season—make sure to check social media before you head out, so you know what’s available.

Farmers Market

Want that farm-fresh fruit, but don’t have the time or energy to pick it yourself? Visit the on-site market to pick up some farm-fresh produce. Here, you’ll also find honey, jellies and jams, and more local favorites.

If you have a craving that fruit can’t touch, check out some of the other sweet confections. Everyone raves about the fresh doughnuts, but there’s also homemade fudge and more.

Winery & Hard Cider

In 2009, Spicer Orchards decided to expand its offerings even more by opening a winery. Head to the tasting room to choose a bottle for your next summer gathering. Or, spend a relaxing afternoon here sipping wine slushies with friends.

While the whole family can enjoy fresh-pressed cider at Spicer, it also offers hard ciders for the adults. Try Spicer’s Original Hard Cider, a dry and crisp standby. Or, go for one of the limited-run seasonal specialties, like chai or maple pecan.
