Plan the day
Highland Orchards is a pick-your-own orchard with a farm market and bakery in West Chester, PA.
Something is ready to pick from mid May into October: rhubarb and strawberries first, then cherries, blueberries, peaches, plums and sweet corn, with apples from mid July through October and pumpkins from mid September. Field access is $3 a person and a shuttle runs out to the fields on weekends. Fall adds a corn maze, apple cannons and hayrides through the orchard, and a beer garden sets up on Saturdays and Sundays.
