Apple Orchard


MGM Family Orchard offers a huge selection of apple trees to suit almost any taste bud. Our apple trees are cold hardy, and come in a variety of different types, textures and tastes. Each tree produces bushels of healthy, flavorful Apples Ripens Mid July that can be eaten fresh off the tree, stored for later, or used to make pies or ciders. You can’t beat the locally grown and handpicked taste when you visit our orchard! See our chart on apple varietals
