U-PICK

RIGHT FROM THE TREE

We are proud to have over 25 varieties of apples available in our U-Pick orchards in addition to peaches, blueberries, blackberries, elderberries, flowers and pumpkins. Each fruit and apple variety becomes ripe at different times throughout the harvest season. Below you will find what we are picking this weekend, what is available in our market, and our best guess at when the rest of our fruits will be ready for picking.

When you arrive at Jeter Mountain Farm, one of our tractor-pulled wagons will take your family around our farm so that you can hop off at the orchard stop you desire. Our berries are sold by the pint, apples and peaches by the peck & pumpkins by the pound.
