Strites' Orchards offers the unique experience of picking Concord grapes. Concord grapes are a traditional grape used to make grape jelly, juice, and wine. They are also excellent table grapes for eating. The grape vines produce large clusters of medium-sized, slipskin, blue-black grapes that ripen in mid-September. This is subject to change depending on how to weather effects the peach growing season. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to receive updates.
We want you to have an enjoyable experience, so we do our very best to make sure the grass is cut in our fall U-Pick areas. Please help us by picking up your trash.
