Where Taproot Farm is located

You'll find Taproot Farm just outside Shoemakersville, in the farm country of Pennsylvania. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.

Most guests punch 66 Kemmerer Rd, Shoemakersville into their phone and let GPS do the work, the entrance is signed from the road and there's a parking area once you turn in.

Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Shoemakersville itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.

Best Time to Visit

Apple season at Taproot Farm tracks the rest of Pennsylvania. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. If you can only make one trip, late September through early October gives you the best odds of finding both early and mid-season apples on the trees at the same time.

Weekend mornings between 9 a.m. and noon are the friendliest arrival window. If you can swing a weekday, Tuesday or Wednesday mornings are the quietest, some visitors report having entire rows to themselves.
