This place was wonderful! The apple cider donuts are fantastic, and can't wait to try the (still warm) peach pie! 2020 does not have pick your own apples due to hail damage in the summer, but we still got to buy a bag of apples and pears. They also had a selection of pumpkins to pick from - a lot of beautiful giants (one person's weighed 35 pounds!!). I hope to visit another season for pick your own fruit.

Read more$20 minimum to pick a bag of apples. Not a bad deal if you come with another person and are hungry enough to eat an apple or two as you meander through the orchard. Ruby Reds were our personal favorite and we'd never heard of them before.
A lot of the newer section of trees were all picked over up to about a 6.5 foot height level so come ready to finagle ways to reach the highest branches. They really need to reorganize how to get the picking containers - crazy to wait 10 minutes in a line to walk through a shop that's held up by people just...
