Emma helping pick apples
Owls Landing grows over 20 varieties of apples which ripen at various times from late July through late October. With more offerings to choose from, our customers may find a new favorite apple! Large quantities of apples for cider making are also available . We will help you with selecting for your special blend.
We are committed to sustainable farming practices including the planting of full-size trees which take longer to produce fruit but will hopefully be still producing for our grandchildren and their children!
We will help you select varieties to meet your personal taste. Contact Us for variety availability.
