Good evening Ladies and Gents, I’m going to tell you a story that will not only scare you, amaze you but also fill your heart with hope and joy to know that yes there absolutely is still kindness and love left to this world , grab your popcorn, hankies and listen carefully.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon when I , Caroline decided to head on over to honey pot with my four kids , yes four , between the ages of 4-11 plus a kids friend, what was supposed to be a 25-30 min drive turned into 1hr( I have hands down the worlds most annoying children and if that becomes a competition in the book of records someone please notify me) anyway , The male that accompanied us that sunny day took all the kids and started their amazing journey, I stayed behind because I may have a lot going on but I refuse to leave my car without my lashes , I remove my shoes to hop in the truck not sure what I needed there but okay, and the maybe 3-5 minutes my back was turned, a lovely human being decided to steal my sneakers, yes , you absolutely read that correctly, I let this adorable old lady know and she then called the owner who’s mother personally came down and brought me new shoes , now if you don’t think that’s love then honestly what are you ? , fast forwarding it’s literally closing time and I run back to the car , just needed to mentally prepare myself for the drive home because everyone was wild. What do I seee on the floor near my car …… take a while guess folks … MY SNEAKERS ! I’m laughing at this point, why .. I’m not sure I’m weird but anyway , so I drive closer to the exit and I run up and I actually get the amazing pleasure of meeting the owner , not only was she extremely helpful and friendly we literally became best friend.

Not only should you ABSOLUTELY GO to this place but you should also know that here you are way more than just a paying customer, you are family .

I’d like to thank everyone who helped me that day , I’d also like to do a quick shoutout to my bestie , girl , you better hire me so can “ accidentally “ you know “ wink” people with the mini car , also , I want a huge birthday party, I genuinely feel part of the fam ❤️

Very saddened that I am leaving such a bad review because I truly enjoyed going here but this year and today it was like I stepped into a completely different Orchard than what I experienced. We walked in and went to pick some apples we were in the back lot across the street from the store. I think the other side is better and has a better selection so we walked all the way to the other side of the orchard and there was nothing not a person or apple in site. So we walked back and went to the farm store. The apple donuts use to be sold out of a window for a long time great practice and quick and efficient. They had the cinnamon sugar and plain. We like both. Well they dont do that anymore you can obly get them inside. Which by the way the store is slammed 24/7. So we stood arpund waiting for donuts. We were in line the next person. To grab donuts. There were 6 bags on the table next thing you know and older woman cut I front of us and 15 - 20 other people and took all 6 bags right off the table. I immediately said something because I was outraged one at the woman and two at the staff that witnessed this and allowed to happen Maybe put a limit when you know you cannot keep up with supply and demand? Maybe make the woman put the bags back and get in line like everyone else. We left. Walked back over where we started. Picked all of one flavor apple because we didnt even want to be there at this point. No golden delicious in sight the farm store was infuriating we picked our apples in Maybe 5 minuets. Decided to go back over to the store and were able to get a bag of donuts. It seems corners are being cut but who knows. We left and made the hour and a half drive back home and went to a different orchard to try to salvage the day. Apple picking is suppose to be a cute fun time here it was stressful and absolutely infuriating. Staff should be held accountable for allowing patrons to act like animals and should be asked to leave for that behavior. Guess over the years the orchard has gotten to big and cocky. Reached out to them on Facebook and not even an apology or care in the world. Im all for shopping local but this place is to big for there own good. Its a sad world that we live in when even people at an apple orchard are rude...

This place is very large and thus many people come here and it can accommodate the people however it was slow long lines waiting in traffic trying to get into the parking lot long lines in the parking lot to park a long walk from the parking lot to the front, and long lines waiting just to get a bag so we could go in the orchard. Then more waiting for the hayride and for the hedge maze.

Then when we finally got to the orchard off the hayride the apple of are hard to find they were very picked over there were zero pairs even though they said they were Paris and so we were stuck with just what happens where they're at they use ladders to climb to the top of the trees. Probably if we had picked a different section of Orchard with different types of apples that probably would have been more aware where they dropped us off it was slim pickings. There are very few people out in the fields that work there to help you direct you where you going or point you in the right direction. The only person we saw was one woman guarding the pairs that they were saving to sell at a marked-up rate in the store so no they had rows and rows of pairs they would let you pick and the only person to help with this security guard preventing you from picking them. Trying to go into the store to get donuts or cider forget about it. The lines were just incredible and not even worth it. They say they have farm animals but that consist of a couple of pigs a couple of goats that you can look at and throw some food at. Not much fun there either. They have this enormous hedge maze we didn't even do it because it took so long to get in and how and waiting in lines all day we didn't have the hour they said it took to go through the Hedge maze so though that looked like it was the main attraction we skipped it altogether. If you're looking for a nice pleasant apple picking fall activity with your significant other or family this really isn't the place not very relaxing we are stressed out most of the day just being jostled around with...
