About This Farm
Steffens Orchard Market on 13 Mile Road at Sparta is a fourth-generation family farm working over three hundred acres in the middle of the Fruit Ridge, and its u-pick variety list has been growing with new plantings.
What You Can Pick
Apples, from mid-September, across an unusually long variety list:
- Blondee, Gala, McIntosh, Honeycrisp
- Cortland, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious
- Ida Red, Fuji and Cameo
Sweet cherries and pumpkins are grown here too.
What Else is Available
The market sells pies, jams, cider and caramel apples.
Good to Know
Open September 11 to October 31, Tuesday to Sunday 11am to 6pm, closed Mondays. That is a short season and a late opening, so it fills up at weekends.
Pro tip: ten named varieties in one orchard means you can taste your way along a row and take home a mixed bushel rather than ten pounds of the same apple.
