Lone Maple Farm

Many of the apples were imperfect this year due to hail storm damage, but you can't beat the price! Two bags, about 20lbs, cost us $0.44/lb, or about $8. Bring your own bag or box of you have to pay $1.50 for a plastic bag. They have a variety (5 when I went) of apples for harvest each week, which is different from single or two variety orchards near by. This region is known for bringing out the tartness in apples and it shines through the varieties available. They also offer a tractor ride up to the orchard for free, and it is on a pretty steep hill so it was bumpy and fun! A gentleman in a wheelchair came on the tractor with us, but needed assistance getting into the tractor-- stairs only. The tractor does not have seatbelts or a way to secure a wheelchair. There is wheelchair accessable parking in the gravel lot by the store. The store has cider donuts (not made fresh right there, but packaged daily), cider, candy, fresh local produce, syrups/honey, and importantly: wine! They offer $3 wine tastings for wines made by the orchard owner from grapes from Seneca (finger lakes region). The wines are relatively inexpensive, $10-$15 and good quality, maybe 10 varieties, both reds & whites. Great place! I wish them luck this season despite the rough weather this year!
