Picking your own fruit is an age-old idea with a fresh new approach

We do the planting and growing. You do the picking. It is as close as you can come to having your own garden without the space, work and expense. Due to our size, we can offer a diverse variety of many fruits and vegetables.

We present the opportunity to learn how different fruit crops are grown, see these fruits ripen and experience the difference in taste and appearance between varieties of each fruit. For instance, we grow 45 varieties of yellow and white peaches, picking for each variety lasts about a week and peach season lasts from July through September. We grow 30 varieties of both eating and cooking apples. Apple picking starts in early August.

“Pick Your Own” is entertaining and fun. It is an outdoor activity that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The fresh air and sunshine are great for your health, the hayride to the fields and orchards is an adventure, and of course the fruit always tastes better when you’ve just picked it. We also offer helpful suggestions for new ways to prepare and preserve the fruit that you pick.

What better family outing is there than coming to the farm, having a fun-filled experience and ending up with a refrigerator full of great tasting, healthy produce!

Pre-Cut Trees

We have the region's best selection of pre-cut trees! Pre-cut Christmas Trees are available in all shapes, sizes and varieties at our Christmas Shop and Garden Center. You'll also find greens, roping, wreaths, and all of the trimmings.  We strive to carry tree varieties including Canaan Fir, Concolor Fir,  Fraser Fir, Douglas Fir, Blue Spruce, Victorian Douglas Fir, Victorian Fraser & Nordmann Fir.  From time to time, a variety may be out of stock.  If you are interested in a specific tree variety, please call to check before you come.

Our Crops

  • Apples

    Linvilla grows 25 different varieties of apples on 20 acres of orchards. We have a variety for every taste preference! There is nothing like picking and eating a fresh apple right off the tree.

  • Apricots

    Apricots are not always available in great numbers due to their sensitivity to frost. When they are available, a tree ripened apricot is a unique treat not often found at other farms or markets.

  • Asparagus

    Asparagus plants are perennial vegetables that produce tasty, tender spears year after year.

  • Cherries

    Like apricots, cherries have a very short season and are quite sensitive to our Northeast weather conditions! Picking often lasts only one to three days each season so be sure to keep an eye on our website to get your chance!

  • Nectarines

    White and yellow nectarines offer the same juiciness and great flavor as our peaches without the fuzz. Nectarines tend to be slightly smaller than their peach counterparts but are basically interchangeable with peaches for cooking or including them in fresh salads.

  • Peaches

    We grow 45 varieties of peaches. The varieties are both yellow and white, freestone and cling. Our newly planted varieties are adding excitement to our early picking season; don't miss our Desiree or Rich May peaches! Your taste buds will be forever spoiled by the flavor and juiciness of a tree-ripened peach!

  • Pears

    Asian, Crispie, Harrow Sweet, Blake's Pride and Sunrise are the pear varieties offered at Linvilla. Commercial production is limited here in the Northeast so if you like to support local agriculture, get your pears at Linvilla!

  • Plums

    Plums are a sweet delicious summertime treat. This fruit is also often used in baking (tarts, cobblers, turnovers) and can also be used to make jam, juice, and wine. Grilled plums can be added to a sweet dessert or drizzled with balsamic for a savory treat. Pop your plums in a dehydrator to make your own delicious prunes! Prunes can be pickled for a sensational and unusual side dish!

  • Blackberries

    Our thornless blackberries are very large and are one of our easiest berries to pick. In addition to making excellent jam, Blackberries are high in vitamin C, K and in fiber and are terrific in smoothies or cocktails. They bring a fabulous burst of flavor to salads and bbq sauce.  A staff favorite is a grilled blackberry, bacon and brie sandwich! What a treat!

  • Blueberries

    We grow seven varieties of blueberries. Recent studies champion the health benefits of nutritious blueberries! Many visitors enjoy picking raspberries and blueberries as their seasons coincide for 2 weeks. Have you ever made a raspberry or blueberry pie?

  • Raspberries

    Our 6 varieties of raspberries ripen during both an early summer and fall season. Early summer season is late June through mid-July. Raspberries are a little more work to pick than other berries but they're worth the effort! If you can get them home without eating them all (!), raspberries are fabulous in jam, salads, sauces, smoothies, cocktails and tarts.  Raspberries pair well with chipotle or other hot peppers in glazes for a main course.

  • fruit pyo

    Strawberries

    Our Pick-Your-Own season begins with strawberries in late May. Strawberries are the first PYO crop Linvilla ever offered and they're Farmer Norm's favorite crop! Strawberry picking is one of our best photo ops.  Our Summer and Fall variety is Seascape and can be picked from late-June through mid-October. Linvilla is on the cutting edge of ever-bearing strawberry production which is new and evolving.

  • Eggplant

    Did you know that eggplant is actually a fruit? Commonly thought of as a vegetable, because they grow from a flowering plant and contain seeds, eggplants are actually fruit! We grow a wide variety of eggplants in an interesting range of shapes and colors. Whether you plan to bake, broil or grill this fruit, you'll receive a ton of nutrients and health benefits. Eggplant is low in calories and sodium, and is a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and B vitamins.

  • Peppers

    We grow traditional green bell peppers along with yellow and orange bells. Linvilla highly recommends the new Canario pepper, an excellent yellow Marconi - a must try! We also grow a wide variety of hot peppers in varying colors and intensities: Jalapeno, Habanero, Serrano, Cherry Bomb, Cayenne and more!

  • Sweet Corn

    Linvilla Orchards prides ourselves on picking and selling freshly picked sweet corn every day when it is in season.

    Tomatoes

    There is nothing more exciting to a tomato lover than a ripe, juicy vine-ripened tomato! We offer beefsteak, plum, cherry, grape and heirloom varieties for slicing, canning, sauces and salads.

  • Rhubarb

    Rhubarb is a colorful and flavorful, yet under-appreciated, vegetable. Rhubarb is a great source of vitamin K1, which is important for blood clotting and bone health. Simmer chopped rhubarb, red onion, balsamic vinegar and mustard and create  a lovely sauce for fish. A favorite recipe here at the farm is simply chopped rhubarb cooked down in a sauce pan with just water and sugar. Serve it over ice cream or yogurt for a taste of the past! Delicious!

  • Grapes

    Linvilla grows three varieties of seeded cooking and eating grapes: Early Concord (Fredonia), Concord and Niagara. Make some jam or squeeze them for juice!

    The sunflower field is a unique and breathtaking experience. Along with 8 different varieties of sunflowers, we grow Zinnias!
