A community apple-picking event in a historic Black Range mining town, promoted through the county tourism board rather than a standalone business — clear tiered bag pricing, but confirm the event year with the tourism board before treating any specific 2026 Sunday as certain.
$5 for a 5 lb bag; $10/12 lb; $20/25 lb; $30/40 lb
Kingston Apple Orchard is less a commercial farm than a community event, run in Kingston, Sierra County, New Mexico — a former mining boomtown now home to just a few dozen residents, in the Black Range. The apple picking here is promoted through the county’s Recreation and Tourism Advisory Board, which explains why there’s no dedicated orchard website or business phone number in this record.
Understanding the structure here matters for how you plan a visit. Rather than a farm you’d call directly, this operates more like a scheduled community event, with the Sierra County tourism board acting as the point of contact. That context explains the phone number in the record — it’s the tourism board’s line, not a dedicated orchard number.
The source page lists four u-pick Sundays: September 22 and 29, and October 6 and 13, running 10am to 2pm each day. That’s a specific, useful schedule — except the page itself didn’t state which year those dates apply to. Rather than assume they line up with 2026 specifically, this record leaves the season dates unconfirmed pending a direct call to the tourism board to verify the correct year.
Unlike most records in this research batch, pricing here is genuinely specific: $5 for a 5 lb bag, $10 for 12 lb, $20 for 25 lb, and $30 for 40 lb. Comparing those tiers, the per-pound cost drops noticeably as bag size increases — the 40 lb bag works out to 75 cents per pound, versus a full dollar per pound for the smallest bag. If you’re planning to bring home a larger quantity, the bigger bags are the better value.
The apples here are described only as “heritage varieties” good for eating, baking, and cider — no specific cultivar names are given. That vague-but-evocative description fits the community-event framing: this reads as a historic-town tradition built around apples grown on old trees rather than a modern commercial variety lineup.
Beyond the missing confirmation year for the Sunday dates, no zip code was given in any source and is deliberately omitted here rather than guessed. This is a genuinely small, informal operation, and the record reflects that honestly rather than filling gaps with assumptions.
The address is 35 Kingston Main Street, Kingston, NM (no zip code confirmed). The listed coordinates are a Kingston, NM town-center estimate.
Kingston Apple Orchard offers a charming, low-key community apple-picking tradition in a historic mining town, with genuinely clear and reasonable tiered pricing.
