Immerse yourself in the tranquility of our cherished historic family farm, spanning 160 years and 7 generations. Nestled in the serene surroundings of an Apple Hill™ Grower farm, our property offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Choose to camp amidst the lush woods or in our enchanting apple orchard. Spend your days engaging in farm activities, exploring scenic hiking trails, or simply unwinding in this idyllic setting. During the harvest season, delight in the experience of hand-picking a variety of fruits and vegetables at their peak of ripeness. Participate in our popular jam making classes held in August, and September for $55 per person, or indulge in a delightful High Tea in the Orchard, hosted on Mother’s Day weekend and June spring afternoons for $45 per person. Be sure to secure your spot early for these sought-after activities, as they tend to fill up rapidly. Our farm is conveniently located near picturesque mountain lakes and charming historic towns, offering ample opportunities for further exploration and discovery. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to our farm, where you can enjoy invigorating woodland hikes, lend a hand with farm chores, and partake in our weekend bonfire gatherings featuring s'mores and delectable treats from our pie shop. Don't miss the chance to harvest blackberries, apples, and pumpkins during their respective seasons, adding a touch of seasonal magic to your visit.

Site 5 - Dogwood Forest Campsite
This was our 2nd time camping in this same spot. We love the little farm and the sites across from the orchard offer lots of privacy. The spots themselves are just a little more than a clearing on private land. But that's fine with us. We use this as a spot so we can spend the whole day enjoying Apple Hill.

Site 4 - Sugar Pine Campsite
Nice Hosts but site on major slant
This was my second time returning to pollack pines. The family running it is really kind and inviting. Unfortunately site #4 is low quality- the entire site is on a pretty notable slant, so much so there was pretty much nowhere we could set up two chairs where we weren't almost falling off our chills. Same for a camp spot. The other sites (including 5 where we stayed before was nice). But this site just wasn't it. I would advise the owners to work on their campsites if they are going to rent them for a premium price. On another note, in October it was still so dry there was dirt in the air throughout our stay and on all our things by time we left. Not the fault of the owners but something that can be worked on if you're renting the site. Basically if you stay on the grass on the other side of the property or the other campsites you will have much better luck.

Site 4 - Sugar Pine Campsite
Peaceful forest and yummy treats!
This spot was so perfect! The site is beautifully tucked away in the trees and made for the perfect spot for a little weekend getaway from the city. Our stay ended on the perfect note when we walked across to get fresh apples, apple cider donuts, and frozen pies for home. Truly a lovely experience that made me wish we stayed longer!

Site 5 - Dogwood Forest Campsite
Beautiful Trees
Wow, the trees! Very beautiful and we really enjoyed the seclusion of the site. No one else was camped on our side! Fantastic views of the Milky Way at night. Minimal light pollution! Our host didn’t greet us or respond to some queries but it wasn’t a problem at all. We figured it all out.

Site 1 - Camp in the Apple Orchard
Buster/ pie was the highlight
Overall a okay experience. We had a nice quiet stay. They mentioned showers at the barn but when we asked they said there were no showers. Which didn’t bother us all too much since we come prepared but others might want to know. The trash can at our site was full when we got there. I got to say the pie was 10/10! Def try it. Also you will get a friendly visit from Buster! Nice doggie!
