Snell Family Farm — Attraction in Buxton

Looking for something to do that's Fall related, we decided to go apple picking. We googled apple orchards near us and came up with a few on the list. We decided to visit Snell Family Farm since it was the closest to us and also had good reviews. The orchard/farm was huge with all sorts of vegetables and good variety of "pick your own" apples. They have two bag sizes: $20 for a peck, about 10lbs and $30 for 1/2 bushel, about 20lbs. The staff are friendly and very helpful. There are also plenty of parking.

Otherwise, loved everything else about...

We were a tad bit late for the donuts, but that's okay! Next time, though. I was able to visit this past October (2024) for some garlic I can plant in my garden - I can't wait to see how they turn out in the summer! Flowers are gorgeous here and a verity of delicious options. Thank you!

Update - October 2025: I have saved some bulbs I had previously purchased and planted last year. This is my second garlic-growing season and I am so happy to continue this wonderful garlic in my garden! It is worth the visit when it's garlic seed season. I will forever recommend! And such pretty...
