Why go

A serious fruit farm above the Delaware River with arguably the deepest u-pick roster in the state — sweet cherries, currants, gooseberries, and multiple berry varieties you won't find elsewhere, plus peaches and apples. The setting on Crab Apple Hill is gorgeous, and the vibe is working-farm rather than theme park. Worth the extra drive for fruit nerds.
