The historic fruit orchard outside the Lehman Caves Visitor Center has provided fruit to visitors and residents of the Snake Valley since it's planting more than 100 years ago. Today, visitors may harvest a reasonable amount for personal consumption with a 2-quart per-family, per-day limit. This limit is in place to prevent resource damage and give all visitors an opportunity to enjoy the fruit borne of the historic orchard.
Today, adult apricot, pear, apple and peach trees bear fruit every few years. If you manage to harvest fruit from the orchard or are interested in using fruits from your own trees or grocery store, check out the recipes below from local residents and park employees to make your own amazing pie!
