Celebrate Fall at Kirby’s!
Apple Picking in 2024
OK! Ready to pick some apples?
1. Purchase your bag for apple picking at the payment window, located outside on the East (left) side of our front porch.
2. Enjoy the short but beautiful walk to our apple orchard! You’re welcome to bring your own wagon, or use one of ours.
3. When picking apples, always remember to "Turn the Eye to the Sky"! The bottom of the apple is the "eye". Turning it upwards towards the sky is the best way to gently pick an apple, instead of pulling it downwards which could shake other apples onto the ground.
4. We hope you enjoy your time in our orchard, soaking up the wonderful sights and smells of Fall. Tag us on Facebook and Instagram! #KirbysFM #KirbyFresh #ShopSmall #SupportLocal

Tastes of Fall
Apples are pressed into an amazingly flavorful fresh cider. Buy it hot, cold, or frozen! Kirby's cider slushies are 100% apple cider, and so delicious.
Cider + a molasses cookie, or hot apple cider and a turn over? Find your favorite combination at Kirby's!
Cookies and pastries are baked at Greg'ry's Bakery in Bergen, NY.
Apple Cider Donuts are made at Partyka’s Farm Market in Kendall, NY.
Autumn Color
Stock up on pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, and squash! Pumpkins of every shape, size, and color can be found under our porch in October.
We also have an abundance of homegrown vegetables, already picked apples (if you don't feel like venturing out to the orchard), and locally grown produce from nearby farms.
Finish your Fall display with straw bales, mums, and cornstalks.
