Fruit Shipping Notes 2026 — Apple & Peach Year
Every box is hand-packed on the farm and handed to UPS, direct to your door as quick as we can. Please review our shipping policies below, and contact us with any questions.
- We ship mostly Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so your apples do not sit over a weekend.
- Shipping is calculated at checkout by location and method, and is paid by the customer.
- Request a delivery date in the special instructions and we will do the best we can, but dates are not guaranteed.
- Labor and weather can delay a shipment; UPS transit times are estimates.
UPS Ground Shipping Map
UPS ground shipping from our North Farm. Some shipments may be one day quicker. The day the package departs is not counted.
Shipping times from our southern New York farm, which can also ship to AZ & CA. To most areas that is one day faster than the map above.
General Shipping Information
- We ship mostly Monday–Tuesday–Wednesday to get your apples to you as fast as we can.
- Consider how cold it is at the destination. We do not warranty against freezing damage. We do try to time shipping accordingly.
- Shipping is calculated at checkout based on location and method. It is a cost paid by the customer.
- The UPS shipping notification may not reflect the actual weight, because we use dimensional weight (which saves you money).

- We do not ship orders that will sit over the weekend with UPS, except around certain holidays or when weather allows.
- UPS transit times are estimates. We do not guarantee delivery dates.
- Ship time does not include the day the package leaves the farm.

- Address changes in transit cost $20 plus any additional shipping fees.
Shipping FAQs
Who pays the shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated at checkout. The customer always pays the full shipping cost. No free shipping is available.
When will my order ship?
We pack and ship as fast as possible. Every box is hand-packed. We do not ship on weekends.
Will my order ship the same week?
Due to labor and farm conditions, we cannot guarantee same-week shipping, especially during peak season.
Does choosing overnight shipping make my order leave faster?
No. Faster shipping only affects transit time, not when we pack and hand the box to UPS.
Do you ship to APO/FPO addresses?
Not at this time. Our previous military complimentary shipping program has been suspended since 2020.
Will you ship my apples if it is really cold or really hot?
We monitor temperatures and may delay shipments in extreme cold to prevent damage. Apples are not insulated. We do not replace cold-damaged fruit.
