U-PICK / WE PICK
At Justus Orchard, you can buy your apples already pre-picked or you can pick your own apples. Whether you choose to U Pick or We Pick NC Apples, you can sample, mix and match to make sure go home with your favorite apples for eating or cooking.
Review the apple varieties we grow and sell and their usual ripening times here. Please remember that weather can be a factor in fruit ripening dates, picking, and availability.
You can also pick your own Blackberries while in season, July-August.
