Celebrate Spring at Hintons!

We are busy preparing the farm for a new year of crops and for the return of visitors! Make plans to join us for Hinton's Orchard's first annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 11 at 11 a.m. The egg hunt will have four age divisions with prizes for all. Hunt for eggs among the apple blossoms! We love fall at the farm, but are very excited about sharing the spring season at the orchard with your family. There is no prettier time of year here!

Our trees are coming to life with blooms popping up in the peaches and blooms are only days away in the apples. Our strawberry patches are awakening, and this past weekend our family enjoyed the first asparagus from our garden. We look forward to sharing it with you over the next few weeks! If you like asparagus, you will love farm fresh asparagus!

Hinton's Orchard opens for the year next Wednesday, April 8 at 9 am. We will be open Monday - Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm. Come see us for your flower and vegetable needs. We will have asparagus when we open and continue to add more fresh produce in the coming weeks. Local meat & cheeses are available as well. Call us to place an order for your favorite cakes, cookies, or pies from Hinton's Kitchen or stop in to see what is available.

We are all looking forward to welcoming you back to the farm. Jacob has missed all of the "company" and is looking forward to the Easter Egg Hunt!
