Apples & Moore — Local services in Town of Dix

I took my time and visited multiple times under the new owner before writing this review. I feel that this is by far the best local orchard around. Firstly, they maintain the orchards, and they are very walkable. I recently went to a different orchard (Crooked Line), but the rows of apples were so overgrown in places that it was difficult to walk. Secondly, the atmosphere. Just pulling into the driveway to the parking lot is beautiful. It just keeps getting better the closer to the orchard you get. Full on fall experience with the pumpkins out, as well. Clean and organized shop keeps varieties of apples if you don't pick your own. They also have the famous donuts, cider, coffee, and jams. I recently tried the carbonated apple cider for the first time, and it is excellent! Probably most importantly, the people who run this place are extremely pleasant. I was thinking that this would not be the case when the new owner took over, but I was happily surprised that these people are just as awesome as the previous owners! As a customer, this transition was unnoticeable. I'm so happy that this place will be here to stay for my daughter to enjoy for...

While we didn't pick any apples, I did visit their shop 3 times to get their donuts. 3 times. That's how good they are. Key is to try and catch them on days when they are freshly fried (at this time was Mon, Wed, Fri, maybe Sat?). I purchased the 6pack of cinnamon sugar each time. The donuts are dense but light, and completely coated in the sweet sugar mix. I also purchased 2 half-pecks of apples and 2 jars of apple butter as gifts. I was hoping for fresh cider and apple cider donuts, but alas that wouldn't come until early/mid-September. I did ask one of the guys there his tips on choosing types of apples, and I was impressed with how knowledgeable and informative he was.

Parking was easy, but I could see how weekends may fill up with families. They seemed to have an organized system for apple picking. They take credit cards...

Wonderful family run business. Everyone is so polite and helpful. Check them out online also. They are very good at updating the public about what is available, what kind of fruit is ripe for picking, in store specials, etc.

They have you pick flowers, produce, honey, candles and several other things in the gift shop.

They make fresh donuts several days a week.

Lots of parking here and they will even have someone in the lots to direct traffic on really busy days.

Check out the giant chair they have for photo opportunities. Many people make this a yearly trip and enjoy pictures in the chair as they change the year on it.

There are port-a-potties for your bathroom needs. Tables and chairs to sit and relax or wait for others...
