*'It's Apple Blossom Time!*
Come visit our orchard/farm which has been in our family since England's King George granted the land to our family in 1752. Yes, it's true, our family has been farming this land for over two centuries. Dickie Brothers Orchard is on Virginia's "Century Farms" list. We grow about 100 acres of apples, with about 15 different varieties. We have Loring & Elberta peaches in limited quantities in July. We also raise beef cattle, have Saddlebred horses, and various colors of Labrador Retrievers running around the orchard.
Nestled against the eastern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Appalachian Mountains, the cool mountain air gives our apples great color and excellent flavor. The view from our orchard is the envy of almost anywhere in the United States, especially when the fall foliage is in full color and the apples are fresh on the tree.
Apple varieties include: McIntosh,Paula Red, Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Stayman, Rome, Winesap, Fuji, Empire, Granny Smith, Honeycrsip, Pink Lady, Golden Supreme and Jonagold.
Harvest begins early August and ends late October.
We offer Pick-Your-Own starting in mid-August for Gala, and you may pick other varieties all season as they become ripe.
We invite any and all visitors to come to our orchard to buy fresh apples and apple butter, view the Blue Ridge, picnic, or pick your own.
Gift packs and apple butter are available to be
shipped anywhere in the U.S.
