Here are some helpful tips for when you visit the orchard:

  • While we love dogs, we must kindly ask that you do not bring them to our orchard. Service animals only, no pets allowed. Please see our FAQs for more details on our pet policy.

  • Our apple trees are still maturing and will be ready to pick by 2027. We still have plenty of fall activities, and apples for purchase. Please see our FAQs for recommendations on other orchards to visit for picking.

  • Wear sturdy, comfortable shoes or boots.  We are a working farm and flip flops or anything with a heel is not the best choice of footwear for wandering the groves.  

  • Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty. 

  • Wear sunscreen. 

  • Safety is of paramount importance at any event or activity at Breeden’s Orchard.   Swimming, wading, boating and fishing are not permitted in the pond.  Climbing on trees is strictly prohibited and you will be asked to leave the property.  Also, please be aware of signage that explains where you can or cannot go on the property.  Certain areas may be off limits due to plants or trees needing alone time to flourish.  

  • Please do not pick un-ripened fruit off the trees, or squeeze and bruise it. We know how much fun it is to play baseball with fruit, but would like to ask that you kindly refrain from doing so.

  • There are several bee hives located on the orchard that are used for pollination. Individuals allergic to bee stings should have on their person an up-to-date EPI-Pen. Those with allergies to pollen are urged to use common sense before getting too close to any hives.
