Nestled in the heart of the Davis Mountains, the Davis Mountain Apple Orchard has opened its doors to the public, offering a unique ‘pick and pay’ experience every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm throughout September. Situated at 201 Colleen Canyon Trail, Fort Davis, TX 79734, this picturesque orchard welcomes apple enthusiasts and families to immerse themselves in the joys of apple picking against the backdrop of stunning mountain vistas.
Accessing this hidden gem is as much a part of the adventure as the picking itself. Visitors can follow a scenic route from Fort Davis, taking 17 south, to 166 west, making a right turn on Tomahawk Trail, and then a left turn on Colleen Canyon Trail. Upon arrival, guests are invited to park in the open space to the left and proceed through the gate.
To ensure a seamless experience, it’s recommended that visitors bring bags and boxes to carry their apple harvest. The Davis Mountain Apple Orchard team has thoughtfully provided crates for measuring quantities, with the option to transfer the apples into the containers brought by visitors. This hands-on approach allows everyone to select their preferred golden delicious apples, ensuring the freshest quality possible.
What sets this experience apart is that this is the first time the orchard has opened to the public during the fall season. The Davis Mountain Apple Orchard aspires to become a cherished seasonal tradition, inviting the community to revel in the magic of apple picking each autumn.
Weekends are not the sole opportunity to explore this enchanting orchard. The establishment is also open to group visits and school field trips on weekdays. These educational excursions provide insights into the apple-growing process, offering a deeper understanding of sustainable agriculture and the natural beauty of the Davis Mountains.
