From the Triple B Website:
Triple B Farms opens its orchard to customers hungry for the region’s tastiest apples!! Pick Your Own style! Customers can walk to the apple orchard to pick their own apples on Saturdays and Sundays. Call for exact starting date. First varieties to be picked: Galas & Honeycrisps. Stay tuned for more varieties as the apples ripen. Three different sized bags are available and priced for families to enjoy! You might think that “an apple is an apple is an apple,” but you’d be amazed at how much better a fresh-from-the-field apple tastes than a grocery-store apple. When apples don’t sit on the shelf, they retain a crispness that just can’t come from the grocery store. And Triple B grows only the very best varieties, including Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Fuji and more. Take your pick of eating apples and baking apples – Triple B has both!

From the Norman's Orchard website:
You can pick your own fruit directly from the tree or bush or vine, or select from pre-picked fruit. Call or email in advance to be sure that we have the fruit you want: 724-224-9491, 480-220-8228, or normansorchard@gmail.com We sell our beautiful and delicious fruit by the pound, peck (chip), half-bushel and bushel.
Most of the apples and pears that we grow are considered heirloom, or antique, fruit. These varieties have existed for hundreds of years and have a distinctive look and flavor not found in the fruit generally available in stores. Most heirloom fruit are not bred for durability and appearance, but are bred for flavor. You will not find many of our apples in a store because they have more fragile skin and flesh and thus cannot be stored for long periods. Heirloom apples are best when picked ripe and used fresh, rather than being picked before they are fully ripe, shipped, and held in storage.
