A practical New York apple picking calendar
Late August
Gala and other early sweet apples begin to arrive, giving families near Rochester the first classic apple-picking trips of the year.
September
This is the heart of apple season. Honeycrisp, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious can all come into play depending on weather.
October
Late apples such as Braeburn and Pink Lady bring bold flavor, firm texture, and better storage potential.
Weather Matters
Bloom, rain, heat, and cool nights can move harvest windows earlier or later. A calendar is a guide, not a guarantee.
Check Before Driving
For the most accurate Brockport picking report, check current conditions before visiting the farm.
