Apologies, but we do not have public apple picking.
Thompsons Cider Mill

The Victorian-style red barn with white trim that is the current mill sits proudly at the top of the steep driveway overlooking the Swopes’ Pond, Leslie Rickert’s original farmhouse and the new orchard on the hill.

The Thompsons welcome visitors to the cider mill and orchard on the weekends each fall from mid-September through Thanksgiving weekend (the mill is open on Thanksgiving day as well), though we encourage people shopping for fresh-pressed cider to visit us nearby at Fable Farm. During the fall season, the hours at the Cider Mill are 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Our cider-making is not currently open to the public.
