Shizukas are like Mutsu apples but sweeter. They’re a large green apple with lower acid levels than a Mutsu. Many love to eat these apples due to their sweet flavor and great crunch.
Picking Tips
- Look for apples with the most color. Shizuka are bright green apples with lots of tiny little spots.
- Use both hands then lift the apple up and twist gently. A ripe apple will release easily with the stem attached. Do not yank the apple or fruit along the same branch will fall to the ground.
- Do not climb the trees
- Do not break, pull or shake branches.
Field Rules
- No bags allowed in Pick-Your-Own fields. Bags are prohibited to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
- Must pay for everything that you pick. All fruit must fit in purchased container. Any fruit that does not fit in purchased container is considered unpaid and considered stolen.

- Always wash your fruit before consuming. No picnicking in Pick-Your-Own Fields
- No pets are allowed anywhere on the farm
