NEWS
WE ARE NOT FOR SALE
No need to worry! While we appreciate everyone that has reached out to us about articles or news features written about Crane’s U-Pick across the street from us on the North side of 124th, that is not our orchard. We do understand the confusion as we share the Crane name, but we are separately owned and operated businesses. Both us and Crane's Pie Pantry Restaurant & Winery are not up for sale and hope to see everyone in the upcoming year for cherries, peaches, and apples!
