FARM ETIQUETTE

Leonard says

We’re so glad you’ve come to enjoy fruit picking with us!  


We kindly ask that you refrain from eating fruit while in the orchard.

Our fruit is delicious and hard to resist——but the fruit on the trees is how we support our farm, our families and helps us to keep doing this year after year.


Thank you for understanding and helping us keep this special place thriving for the next generation.

Please read.

Please email us at info@prospecthillorchards.com 

if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Everyone must either make a reservation before or at farm.  It is quicker to do beforehand but no worries if you have not. We can quickly check you in when you arrive. A reservation is good for  a 2 hour time period.


Yes. There is a $2 / person fee. 

You only need to purchase one ticket per person per day.  You are welcome to pick what we have in season that day. 


Tasting one is fine, But eating your way through the orchard is not fine. 


That is actually stealing from our hard labor. And we work too hard to just give our fruit away. Thank you for understanding.
