Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the first Annual Spring Festival. This special event is a celebration of spring and a tribute to former owner Joan Dougherty, honoring her love for flowers.

As the season ends, we want to take a moment to reflect on our 142nd season and say thank you. Each year reminds us of the people who make this place special - our hardworking staff and all of you, our orchard community.

Nothing beats biting into a crisp, juicy apple straight from the tree or enjoying a freshly-pressed cup of apple cider. At Dougherty Orchards & Winery, we want you to enjoy that fresh-picked flavor long after harvest. So, how do we keep our apples tasting fresh from the farm for months? The secret is a combination of nature, science, and good old-fashioned know-how. You can do the same at home to keep your apples fresh.
