Historically operated as the renowned “U-Pick” Heckmann Hollow Orchard and Gardens, the farm boasts over 800 mature fruit trees, including nine apple varieties—McIntosh, Granny Smith, Gala, Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious, Wine Sap, Fuji, Jonathan, and Lodi—alongside peach, pear, mulberry, and cherry trees. The fully fenced orchards, including two male pollinator orchards, are safeguarded by 10-foot wildlife fencing.
