Summer days are luxuriously lazy at Hicks Orchard. The farm is a great place to bring the kids and enjoy an easy summertime morning or afternoon picking sweet, fat blueberries or tangy plump raspberries by the pond. Or you can immerse yourself in the favorite pastime of picking tart cherries for your summer pies. After picking, a picnic in the shade by the pond is a treat. You will be serenaded by bullfrogs and dragonflies as you relax into slow-mode at the farm.

Of course, the goats will be calling for you to visit with them back in the barnyard. Our friendly farm animals love a scratch on the head or a handful of grain from the machine (a quarter for a handful of feed).

Summer Fruit Picking begins in Late June and lasts until mid/late August. We are usually open every day during the summer (we have had to close the blueberry patch for a couple days to let more berries ripen in the past, so please check the front page of this website before you make the trip out.
