Every year we enjoy welcoming new & familiar faces to the farm. Below you will find our monthly harvest + events calendar, featuring farm-to-table dinners and other inspired gatherings at Westward Orchards. We look forward to sharing all there is to offer this growing season!
OPENING JUNE 8, 2020
for porch + curbside pickup only
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we will be operating our farm store differently this season. In an effort to minimize risk to our customers, and our small family staffed team, we are unable to allow customers into our store at this time. We have been busy migrating our store to be available online, and will continue to add items daily. Porch pickup as well as curbside pickup will be available the days/times listed below beginning Monday – June 8, 2020.
- Mondays: 10am-12pm + 3pm-5pm
- Tuesdays: 10am-12pm + 3pm-5pm
- Thursdays: 10am-12pm + 3pm-5pm
- Fridays: 10am-12pm + 3pm-5pm
- Saturdays: 10am-12pm + 3pm-5pm
As our season progresses and we have more of our own produce being harvested daily, we will adjust and lengthen the pickup schedule.
WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE WINTER

We’ll have all the iconic fall must haves; apple cider donuts, hot mulled cider, butternut squash apple soup and more! Looking for an extra special pumpkin to carve for Halloween?! We have a great selection out in front of our store!
