An apple for every palette.
Whether you are searching for sweet, tart, or a combination of both, we can help you find an apple you’ll love at Branstool Orchards. We grow more than 35 varieties here on the farm and we would love to sample something new for you!
We offer pre-picked apples and pick your own apples when the weather is nice and there are plenty of ripe apples within reach. We update our website, phone line, and social media accounts each morning there is fruit available to pick.
Varieties we grow at Branstool Orchards with approximate ripening dates are listed below. Each year is a tad different from the last and although we have a good idea when a variety will be ready, we test sugar content to be sure it’s the right time to harvest.
