Oren Wooden's Apple House — Local services in Dayton

Drove an hour to get here from Chattanooga. BEAUTIFUL drive up, but a disappointing place. We asked what was fresh in the bakery (on a Saturday morning, in time for the crowds), and the only thing was the apple dumplings. They didn’t look appetizing so we got the apple fritters. No apples in the fritters, it was just dough with a sweet glaze. We got some apple cider to go with them, but that was also something we weren’t used to. The apple cider I’ve typically bought before has a mulled, spiced flavor. This was just pasteurized apple juice. It was very good and fresh-tasting apple juice, but just so you know, it’s not spiced apple cider. No picking apples or wandering through the orchards, and you don’t spend much time looking through their store either, it’s pretty small. Nothing to do here, so don’t bring your kids unless you’re just here to pick out a pumpkin and grab some apples while you’re at it. Doesn’t compare to Mercier’s, in case you’re trying to have a similar “apple day” experience with a...

I wanted a bunch of apples to make apple butter so I did some research of nearby orchards and decided to go to Oren Wooden's Apple house. It was good declension!!

Wooden's is a pretty big operation with a good sized retail outlet and a large warehouse for sorting and packaging the apples.

The store had a good variety of apples a good prices along with all sorts of locally made jellies, jams, butters, etc. They also had some fresh vegetables, pumpkins, and gourds.

The restaurant and bakery had a good selection of all sorts of food. I only tried things from the bakery. The apple pie, fritter and fried pies were awesome, wish I had bought more!

Everyone I interacted with at the business was very friendly and helpful. I had called ahead of time and the person I talked to was very professional and told me about the option to buy seconds at a much reduced rate and they really good apples and perfect for apple butter.

I would highly recommend Wooden's, it is worth the...

There was a lot of people there and the parking lot was full. I am not sure where they all came from and what they were after because my mom and I were honestly not impressed. They had a restaurant with signs for fresh apple pie. Judging by the crowds I imagine it tasted good. I am not sure of what all they offered in the restaurant and was afraid to see the prices. The store itself had a quaint old veggie stand charm, with peaches, apples and garden goods. The people there were very nice. We just felt the prices were high. Seemed like you had to buy a large amount for the fruit, or none at all. I did notice they had single peaches for two dollars. Upstairs is a gift shop area with various things for sale. An upscale yardsale crossed with craft booths. My mom was with us and she was unable to go to the gift/craft area due to the steep stairs. They had clean...
