For apple picking, they offer 2 size bags - $15 small, or $30 for 1/2 bushel bag. There are so many varieties of apples here, it's great. They also have complimentary wagons for you to use to pull around the orchard. A hay ride is $2 per person and they take you to the further side of the orchard for honey crisps and rubyfrost. The store offers very reasonably priced vegetables such as peppers cabbage, squash, onions, etc. They also have apple cider doughnuts and hot apple cider. We only planned to be here for 2 hours but ended up staying for 3 hours as the kids had so much fun. Great place to come and have a layback experience apple picking!

But last fall, we had an experience at the orchard itself that we will never forget. We had the best day walking for hours around the beautiful orchard and picking apples. On the way back to the car with our big bag of fruit we realized that neither of us had the key to the car! It must have dropped at some point in the orchard. We were doomed! There was no way we were going to find a small car key within the fields. We walked around for a while looking and gave up we were about to call for a tow. Then we came upon one of the farmers driving the tractor, and showed him the only picture we had taken that entire day. He looked at it for a few seconds and went off in search of the key. 10 or 15 minutes later, we saw him calling for us in the distance. As we got closer, we saw him laughing and shaking his head - amazingly, he had found the needle in the haystack, and we were saved! That day we also got to meet his daughter and grandson, who were taking a ride on his tractor through the orchard and picking apples of their own. Maynard's apples and stone fruit worlds above any of the others we can find in the area, and we stock up every Saturday. But in addition to the quality of the fruit, the farmers are all so nice and always let you taste what's in season before you purchase. And after this experience, it was clear to us that Maynard farms is truly family and community-oriented organization, and made us even happier to buy our fruit from them every week. Thank you for everything! See you on Saturday ;) Love, Melissa and Sami
