Additional Notes: During the month of April is a prime time to photograph at Manning Orchards. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom (generally April 10-22nd). It can get overcrowded with photographers so I suggest not doing photos here in April on a weekend. A weekday will work best. Even better a weekday morning session. After fall leaves have fallen come early November chances are there are still leaves on the trees at Manning Orchards. Cherry trees hang onto their leaves longer than most trees.
As the seasons change, so does the charm of Manning Orchards. In the spring, fragrant blossoms blanket the orchard, painting the landscape in vibrant hues, signaling the promise of an abundant harvest. Summer brings the ripening of various fruits, such as apples, peaches, cherries, and plums, which beckon visitors to partake in the timeless tradition of fruit picking. Families and friends gather to wander through the orchards, selecting the juiciest and ripest fruits to take home or enjoy on-site. Manning Orchards has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century when it was established by the Manning family. Through hard work, dedication, and a deep love for the land, the Manning family nurtured the orchard into the thriving haven it is today. With each passing season, the orchard's legacy continues, with younger generations embracing age-old traditions while incorporating modern farming practices to preserve the land for future generations.
