Who am I 

 Mr. Apples is a different kind of farm. We are a friendly, small-town size, non-commercial operation. Take a tranquil journey through scenic routes to Mr. Apples rustic Orchard. Chat with Philip Apple while you taste the magical air of our orchard. Our farm is not a fancy place. We try to remember a time when life was simpler & more natural; a time when chemicals were not used all of the time just to make everything look better.

At the farm where wildlife does abound
See them run, hop, and fly all around
It's where natural is the guiding sound.
The trees are not crowded into every spot
We like the environment of open space.

Make apple picking a destination for a day or two of adventure, without the need to travel a long distance or be away from home a long time. Right near us and on the very same route there are fun places to visit. CREATE YOUR OWN TOUR!!!

ALONG THE WAY TO US EXPERIENCE RURAL VIEWS TOU WILL NEVER FORGET.

Mr Apples is a quick enjoyable stop for groups, camps, and families. Bring your friends. Ask us about using our orchard for reunions or celebrations or summer gatherings. If you wish you can also explore our woods along the orchards edge. So come one and all --- our family is waiting to greet you!

Remember to check out the historic stuff. Step into the exhibit in our ORIGINAL COOLER to see orchard artifacts from the past, farm photographs, a brief history of us, unique ventilation system, apple grader, and a "how to make cider" display (original method).

"BETTER FLAVOR, BETTER HEALTH, BETTER TEETH" reads Mr. Apples's flier. It continues: We aim for natural taste, not just perfect-looking looking skin. Se habla espanol. On parle francais. Anyone who calls himself "Mr. Apples" and can do all these things with manzanas and pommes seemed a good person to seek out. This orchard, not as far north as Montgomery Place, could fall on the other end of the apple-picking spectrum. No Prada backpacks here. Rustic, down-home ambiance is what Mr. Apples is all about. Mr. Apples's real name is Philip ******, and he's at the cash register expostulating with a straight face about apples. His orchard is about 30 acres, and on Monday there were only a few families stalking the trees, stepping on the mushed apples and creating rows of applesauce. The grass was wet, but that didn't dampen apple-picking spirits as cortlands and macs dropped with little provocation from the trees. Mr. Apples says he does not use chemicals in the soil, but sprays his trees in the spring to control disease. By the fall, he says, the chemicals are broken down; that means the skin may be slightly blemished but the fruit is good and juicy.
