A century-old orchard (formerly Burgess Orchards) now operating as Cherry Hill Farms, with confirmed 2026 pricing but a refreshingly honest admission that exact pick dates aren't set on a calendar — they're announced 3-7 days ahead based on ripeness.
$1.50/lb most varieties, $3/lb Honeycrisp, per the orchard's own site
Cherry Hill Farms’ Alpine, Utah location, at 500 Bateman Lane, carries a long history: multiple third-party sources describe this same property as having operated under the name Burgess Orchards since 1912, before the site apparently transitioned to the Cherry Hill Farms name and operation. That’s a genuinely old orchard site by any measure, and visitors searching for “Burgess Orchards” and “Cherry Hill Farms Alpine” are very likely looking for the same physical place. The orchard grows eight named apple varieties — Gala, McIntosh, Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Granny Smith — matching the same broad lineup found at the Caldwell, Idaho location under the same brand. Hours run Monday through Saturday, 10am to 8pm.
Unlike many orchards in this research batch, exact per-pound pricing here comes directly from the orchard’s own site: $1.50 per pound for most varieties, with Honeycrisp specifically priced higher at $3 per pound. That kind of variety-specific pricing is a useful, concrete detail — it signals the orchard treats Honeycrisp as a premium product relative to the others, which lines up with Honeycrisp’s broader reputation and higher wholesale cost compared to older varieties like Red Delicious.
The most distinctive detail in this record is what the orchard’s own site says about scheduling: it explicitly states it does not yet know the exact 2026 u-pick dates because peak ripeness is weather-dependent, and that dates are announced only 3-7 days ahead through the orchard’s newsletter and social media. That’s a notably candid approach compared to orchards that post a fixed date range regardless of actual ripening conditions — and it means this record’s confirmation status is null rather than confirmed-from-orchard-site, even though the pricing itself did come from that same page. In practical terms, a visitor who wants to time a trip here correctly needs to actually subscribe to the newsletter or watch the orchard’s social media in the weeks before visiting, rather than assuming any date printed elsewhere (including this record) reflects the actual 2026 pick window.
Alongside apple picking, this location offers paid orchard photography sessions, reportedly priced around $75 per hour according to the orchard’s own site — an activity not seen at any other orchard in this Idaho/Utah research batch. That suggests the orchard has built out a secondary business around its scenic setting, appealing to visitors who want a fall-themed photo session as much as, or instead of, apples themselves.
Because exact 2026 pick dates aren’t published anywhere, including on the orchard’s own site, this record can’t state a confirmed season window the way a few other orchards in this file could. There’s also nothing here about parking or accessibility, and no information on whether the historic Burgess Orchards name still appears on any signage or branding at the property today.
Cherry Hill Farms’ Alpine location combines a century-plus orchard history with confirmed, variety-tiered pricing and a distinctive photography add-on — but its own site is upfront that it won’t commit to a fixed 2026 pick date, announcing the actual window only 3-7 days ahead. Anyone planning a visit should subscribe to the orchard’s newsletter or follow its social media directly rather than relying on a calendar guess.
Not fixed to a calendar date. The orchard's own site states it doesn't yet know exact 2026 u-pick dates because peak ripeness is weather-dependent, and dates are instead announced 3-7 days ahead via newsletter or social media — sign up for those channels rather than assuming a set date.
you need a fixed date locked in weeks ahead — this orchard explicitly does not publish one, announcing pick windows only 3-7 days in advance.
Two other Cherry Hill Farms locations appear in this same research batch, in Santaquin, UT and Caldwell, ID, though hours, pricing, and dates are location-specific and shouldn't be assumed to match this Alpine site.
