Established in 1966 on a deserted dairy farm by the Crooke family, our orchard underwent a transition in ownership for 17 years, operating under the name Horse Listener’s Orchard. However, in homage to the original family and due to the pervasive local preference, we reverted to the name Crookes.
Specializing in a diverse selection of apples, including heirloom and cider varieties, as well as peaches, nectarines, and blueberries, we provide both U-pick opportunities and a convenient on-site store.
Anticipate an exciting array of apple varieties in fall of 2026, such as Sansa, Crimson Crisp, Winecrisp, Ashmead’s Kernel, Roxbury Russet, Arkansas Black, Baldwin, Northern Spy, Golden Russet, and St. Edmund’s Russet.
For enthusiasts of hard cider, we’re introducing Bulmers Norman, Harry Masters Jersey, Brown’s Apple, Redfield, Northern Spy, and Golden Russet apples.
Our current offerings include beloved varieties like Honey Crisp, Gala, Cortland, Macoun, Mutsu, McIntosh, Gavenstein, Sunrise, Jersey Macs, Jonagold, Fortune, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Creston, Empire, and Fuji.
