For everything else, the shop on site is one of the largest out of all of the farms mentioned and is great for a fast pick-up of fruit throughout the year! We have gone blueberry picking here and it was a fun and easy way to snag some beautiful berries, albeit without the country backdrop of a traditional farm. In addition to the customary bakery, market, and gift barn, Soergel's also has a wine shop, an Arsenal Cider taproom, an ice cream stall, and even a special shop called Naturally Soergel's full of natural and organic items.Īlthough mainly known for their apple orchard, Soergel's also offers pick your own strawberries and blueberries. It is located just off of I-79 in Wexford, meaning it is very easy to get to but doesn't have a rural setting like the others farms mentioned in this post do. Soergel Orchards is similar to Triple B in that it is a large complex with multiple buildings and lots of family activities and events. Norman's Orchard is located in Tarentum, PA. They also offer a small amount of pre-picked apples (no pre-picked cherries) if you decide you're not up for the challenge of picking your own, which may be a good idea! Baskets are provided, and payment is cash only. The workers showed us which varieties of apples were on which trees and set us loose. Most of the places where we've picked apples before had dwarf trees and so picking was much less intense. I soon realized that apple picking here is the real deal: the trees are so tall that you need to climb precariously placed ladders in order to reach the apples and cherries. One interesting thing to note here is that we had to sign a waiver before picking, which at first I didn't understand. This was the same for cherries as well in June, which generally get picked over in just a few days. When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm, the place was already packed with tons of families (they open at noon on Sundays), and the picking was somewhat slim. We visited this year for pick your own apples in September. It's also the only place we know of in the area that grows both sweet and tart cherries. Norman's Orchard in Tarentum is a small orchard that grows blueberries, peaches, pears, apples. ![]()
