Pick-your-own apple season at Terhune Orchards has arrived along with the beginning of the school year. The official kickoff takes place at the Van Kirk Road orchard on Saturday and Sunday, September 3 and 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. From Saturday on, the orchard will be open every day for apple picking from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting, through October. 

Jonamac and Jonathan apples are the first apples available for picking at Van Kirk. The Jonamac is ideal for packing lunches and good for making applesauce. The Jonathan is a good apple for making pies, with crisp and mildly tart flesh that is also good for eating fresh.

Throughout the season, a dozen varieties will be available for pick-your-own. Depending on the season, there will be Empire, Fuji, Macoun, Granny Smith, and Red and Golden Delicious.
