The popular apple and pumpkin picking season at Curtis Orchard is now in full swing. The pumpkin patch opened just a week ago, and the season lasts until Halloween, giving farm-goers ample time to select the perfect pumpkin. The orchard also boosts four varieties of “you-pick” apples and seven additional types of store apples.

Curtis Orchard also offers face painting, wagon rides, corn mazes and pony rides on the weekends for a small fee; it’s a popular place with college students, too. The orchard offers specials to students with iCards as well. Besides the traditional farm activities, the

orchard also serves food at their Flying Monkey Café. In September and October, lunch is served daily, with the menu offering food such as pulled pork, brats, burgers, chili and more. But it’s their homemade donuts and cobblers that draw the most attention. “We’re famous for our apple crisp donuts,” said co-owner Randy Graham. “They’re a huge item for us, they sell like crazy.”
