From Empire to McIntosh, Golden Delicious, and Ida-Reds, the height of picking season is upon us. That means you can visit one of the local Saratoga County orchards and pick your own apples straight from the trees. While you’re there, grab some delicious produce, apple cider, cider donuts, and other fall treats.
Saratoga Apple is an orchard and farm market open seven days a week, 12 months a year. They sell a variety of apples, peaches, plums, pears, cider, fresh baked goods and produce. Apple cider donuts are made daily all year round.
Saratoga Apple’s PICK YOUR OWN started Friday, Sept. 5 and will continue through the second week in November. You can pick your own apples every day between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Saratoga Apple is family owned and operated. The Darrows have been growing apples for five generations. They grow their apples with great care, using low-spray techniques and micronutrient fertilization, including sea minerals.
It’s easy to find Saratoga Apple, located at 1174 Route 29 in Schuylerville.
Happy picking!
