A small family orchard near Romney best documented for its confirmed u-pick cherries and black raspberries, with apples appearing only as one more crop sold from an on-site shop — whether apples themselves are pick-your-own was never confirmed.
Shanholtz Orchard sits on the outskirts of Romney, in Hampshire County, along the same rural Jersey Mountain Road corridor as several other small orchards in this research. What’s actually well-documented about this farm is its cherry and black raspberry picking — both confirmed as pick-your-own crops. Apples show up in the record too, but more as a secondary item sold through an on-site shop, and this record genuinely could not confirm whether the apples themselves are available to pick or only to buy already harvested.
If Shanholtz Orchard has a clear identity in the sources available, it’s built around cherries and black raspberries rather than apples. Those two crops are specifically described as pick-your-own, which is a more definite statement than anything found regarding the apple side of the business. For a visitor whose priority is apples specifically, that’s worth knowing upfront — this farm’s strongest, best-documented offering may not be the fruit you came for.
Third-party sources mention “early and fall apples” as part of what’s sold from the farm’s on-site shop, which at least confirms apples are grown and available for purchase here in some form. What those same sources don’t spell out is whether customers can walk into the orchard and pick those apples themselves, the way they apparently can with the cherries and raspberries — hence the record leaving u_pick status genuinely uncertain rather than guessing in either direction.
One small but real gap: no street number was found for the Jersey Mountain Road address, and no official orchard website exists to check for more precise directions or current hours. That’s consistent with a small, low-profile family operation rather than one built for heavy visitor traffic, and it means a phone call to 304-822-5827 is likely the most reliable way to get exact directions before heading out, rather than relying on a mapped address.
Given the uncertainty around apple-specific picking here, anyone building a Potomac Highlands trip specifically around apples might get more reliable footing from Morgan Orchard in nearby Sinks Grove, which at least has a more visitor-facing schedule on record, while treating Shanholtz as a worthwhile stop if cherries or black raspberries are also of interest, or if you’re comfortable simply buying whatever apples are on hand at the shop.
Shanholtz Orchard is located on Jersey Mountain Road in Romney, in Hampshire County’s Potomac Highlands region. The coordinates on file are a Romney town-center approximation rather than a geocode of the actual rural address, and no street number was found to refine that further.
Shanholtz Orchard’s clearest strength, based on the sources available, is confirmed pick-your-own cherries and black raspberries — its apple offering is real but far less documented, with no confirmation of whether apples are pickable or shop-only. A phone call ahead of a visit is the honest recommendation here, both to confirm what’s currently available and to get precise directions to a rural address without a listed street number.
