Since 1907 our family has been growing the finest quality fruit and vegetables on the land surrounding The Apple Shed. Third-generation owners, Gary & Barb Wells opened The Apple Shed in 1973 as a fruit stand and cider mill. In the last 40 years, the Shed and farm have grown significantly, but we have stayed true to the original mission of growing quality produce for our customers.
The Apple Shed season begins in June with the start of strawberry season and continues with sweet cherries in early-July, followed by tomatoes, blueberries and peaches starting mid- to late-July. Apple season begins in late-August, then in late-November we offer fresh-cut and u-cut Christmas trees.
Our cider, which we happen to think is some of the best around, is available all season. We press fresh, right here onsite, from early-September through Christmas. During the summer months we offer cider that was pressed and frozen at the peak of the season. Our hard cidery, Old Goat Cidery, opened in 2017.
We're not just we have a great gift shop which offers country & primitive craft items, cookbooks, candles, baking mixes, jam, jelly, honey, maple syrup and more!
In 2012, we began offering lunches daily from 11am-3pm. The lunch menu includes salads, sandwiches, wraps, pizzas & paninis as well as a kids menu.
Also from our kitchen: fresh-made fudge, cookies, pies and donuts (Sept-Dec).
