When you go picking the apples or pears, you get taken there by tractor drawn wagon. The trees get many apples that are ripe by early fall. There are 3 kinds of apples they grow in Solebury Orchards, they are, keepsakes, brae burns and fuji apples. The apples get very big and are tart and sweet. Brae burn apples are good for pies. The keepsake apples are plump and juicy. Fuji apples are sweet and make good snacks.
