The Frecon Family proudly opens acres of prime orchard during the peak of select harvest seasons to share with families & friends from throughout the Mid Atlantic. Reconnecting folks with their food source the people that grow it is what we've hung our hat on since 1944 so it's only natural. So come one, come all to enjoy a crisp summer or fall day strolling the trees, picking cherries & blueberries in the summer or apples, pear & pumpkins in the fall.

In 2003 Frecon Farms opened UPick with the goal to share our family farm and provide our customers with an authentic orchard experience. As the years have gone by, we’ve become much more than apple picking.
Due to the rising costs of providing a safe and entertaining Orchard experience, we are introducing a small admission fee. This fee will be deducted from all fruit purchases. I.e 3 people x $3 = $9. UPick 10 lbs of fruit at 1.99 = 19.99. We subtract $9. You pay $10.99 difference.
Thank you for understanding and we appreciate your support of our family Orchard.
Our Upick Orchard is a great place to turn the kids loose to enjoy the outdoors while learning where their food comes from. Birthday parties at Upick include picking bags for the party, choice of meal & beverage and designated space at one of our orchard picnic areas.
