Our visitors can come and enjoy our very unique apple orchard. Not only do we have a variety of apples, but also, the orchard is comprised of dwarf trees, making even our apple orchard fully accessible. At the top of each row we also indicate what type of apple is growing in each row.
When booking tours, be sure to make apple-picking part of your visit. If you are unable to pick your own apples, we have some available in our canteen....
