Picking rules differ
Some farms sell a required bag or charge by weight. Others limit which rows are open. Follow posted signs so fruit that is not ready remains on the tree.

Planning an orchard visit
Apple varieties do not ripen all at once
New Hampshire’s apple season moves through a succession of early, midseason, and later varieties. An orchard may be open while a particular apple is unavailable, and heavily visited blocks can be picked out before the next variety is ready.
Use each orchard’s harvest update on the day you plan to visit. Farm stands and bakeries may remain open even when pick-your-own fields pause between varieties.
