The Orchard at Altapass is private property, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. During your visit, please respect the Orchard—its apples, trees, plants, facilities, games, trails, and staff. We have only a few rules but expect all visitors to be courteous. Please don’t pick the apples or other Orchard fruits when they aren’t ripe, or if you haven’t paid for them if they are ripe. Please remember that just because an apple is red or yellow, doesn’t mean it is ready to eat. Our field crew lets us know when, what, and where the ripe apples are. Don’t climb the trees, throw apples., or mishandle the picking poles. Responsible adults, please ensure the children under your supervision are mindful of the land’s fragility and the staff’s hard work to make all Orchard experiences rewarding and memorable for years to come.
