Apple Tour

Wagon-Ride-at-GCF

Apple Tours are CLOSED for the 2025 Season- We are Now Booking Pumpkin Tours for September 19-November 7, 2025

Due to the Freeze in April we have a very limited apple crop and are not able to offer apple tours for the 2025 season.  Please join us for a Pumpkin Picking Tour!

Your students will love a day of learning and fun with our Apple Tour, designed specifically for Home School Students and schools able to travel in late August to mid-September — which is right at the peak of apple picking season. Our school tour hosts make learning so fun that your students will master SOLs with ease!

Meet your home school curriculum needs as students learn about the apple life cycle and see apples being pressed into cider at our 12:30pm demo. Apple educational tours are available  Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays in September

The Apple Field Trip (late August- September) is $14 per person, and includes:

  • Wagon ride to the apple orchard
  • Pick your own apples ~  4 per guest included
  • Apple education station
  • Composting Station
  • 12:30 pm Apple Pressing Demonstration

And that’s not all! You are welcome to stay and play in our 15-acre play area as long as your time allows.

With each of our field trips, one homeschool parent/teacher per 15 students receive complimentary admission. We do request a minimum of 15 students to schedule a tour. We are here rain or shine, and there are several covered areas available for your group to shelter from inclement weather.

Please bring water for your group. We strongly recommend a large cooler with cups.
