Our take

A rare find in a region with almost no apple orchards

Most Texas apple-picking guides point toward the Hill Country cluster around Medina, hours away from the far western Panhandle. This small farm stand near Farwell — right on the New Mexico border in Parmer County — is a genuine exception, one of the only pick-your-own apple options anywhere in that part of the state. That geographic rarity is the main reason it’s worth knowing about, even though the operation itself is modest: a farm stand paired with u-pick apples, run without any apparent website.

Two sources, two different sets of hours

This is a case where the honest answer is that the record simply doesn’t know. One directory lists Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5:30pm, running from August through January. A different, independently sourced business directory lists Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm. Both give the same address and phone number, so this appears to be the same business — the hours discrepancy is more likely a stale or outdated listing on one side than two different farms. Neither source ties its hours to the current year, so treat both as a rough starting point rather than something to plan a drive around without calling first.

No website, but real contact information

Unlike many farms without an online presence, this one does have a confirmed phone number (806-481-8682) that two independent sources agree on, which is a reasonable level of confidence for a business this size. If you’re passing through the Farwell area during apple season and want to check current status, a call is genuinely the most reliable option — there’s no Facebook page or website to cross-check against.

The honest bottom line

This is included because it fills a real geographic gap — genuine apple picking in a part of Texas that otherwise has none — not because it’s a heavily documented destination. Go in expecting a small, no-frills farm stand, confirm hours by phone rather than by either directory listing, and treat it as a worthwhile detour if you’re already in the area rather than a standalone trip.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Not stated in the record — two sources give conflicting weekly hours and neither is dated to the current season, so no reliable visiting window could be confirmed.

What to bring

  • Cash — small, no-website farm stands like this one are frequently cash-only, though this specific detail wasn't independently confirmed
  • A phone call to 806-481-8682 before driving out, since the two hours listed for this business (Mon-Sat 9am-5:30pm per one source, Tue-Sat 10am-6pm per another) don't match

Who it suits

Good for

  • Travelers in the far western Panhandle/South Plains region near the New Mexico border who want a real apple stop rather than driving hours toward the more common central-Texas clusters
  • Visitors comfortable calling ahead rather than relying on a website, since this business doesn't appear to have one

Skip it if

You want confirmed hours or a season window before you go — two directories disagree on both, and neither is confirmed for the current year.

Common questions

Does this farm have a website?

No independent website was found for the business during this research — only a phone number and email address turned up across the sources checked.

What are the hours?

Sources disagree: one directory lists Monday-Saturday 9am-5:30pm during an August-through-January window, while another lists Tuesday-Saturday 10am-6pm. Neither is confirmed for the current year, so call ahead rather than trusting either listing.

Is this really a u-pick apple farm?

Yes, per the record — it's described as offering both pick-your-own apples and a farm stand, at a matching address and phone number across two independent sources.

Where is it exactly?

On FM 292 outside Farwell, in Parmer County, right on the Texas-New Mexico border — one of the only apple-picking options in that part of the state rather than the more typical central-Texas Hill Country clusters.
