Friendly owners & staff. We'll groomed orchards and excellent apples of many varieties. Also a clean inexpensive limited farm market. A great place to not only buy and or pick apples and pears, but a great place to take family.
We had planned to go to another farm in the area to pick apples, but when we arrived their parking lot was full and cars were parked on both sides of the street.
Orchard Home Farm was great! All staff were very friendly and were wearing masks. The man at the gate provided a map. He took the time to show us where in the orchard the various types of apples that were available for picking could be found. Unlike the other farm, he then told us that we had the option of parking in their main lot and walking in, or driving the ring road to the variety of apples that we wanted to pick and then parking there. They had a large variety of apples and several varieties of pears.
This setup meant a lot less congestion at the main gate, which we appreciated.
Great value for the money - Two 10lb bags of apples and a small jug of apple cider was just over $34. No admission charge.
Great experience all around! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this orchard!
This was our second year coming here and both times we had so much fun. Definitely a great place to bring your family and nice way to spend a beautiful autumn day. It's great you have an option to drive around to the different apple species or walk. The trees here are dwarf to semi-dwarf which makes it a lot easier. You're also able to try the apples while you're out in the orchard, which I love! I have yet to try one I don't like. We came at a busy time but got in quickly, and sure, we had to wait about 5 minutes to check out but again, it was busy and there are now more rules to follow because of covid. I thought they did a great job though and it was a breeze. All of the employees and helpers here are helpful and friendly. Unfortunately you can't get out of your car to look at the baked goods and other things at their outside market but you can let them know before check out If you want something. The apple cider here is also really good!
Long wait to get out of the farm. No line for people who have already paid and had to wait 45 mins to leave.
Lots of apples of different kind. Friendly staff.
