"What an awesome place to pick apples and purchase food items! It was the last week to pick apples, but they had plenty on the trees. We are from FL and really enjoyed our day at the orchard. It’s definitely worth the trip. Wish we lived closer because the apples are so good!"

"Nice big farm with many activities! Make sure to visit early if going for apple picking. Visited during 3rd week of October and only a few sections were left with apples to pick. Nevertheless the taste of the apples made up for it. Really yum apples! Activities at the farm .. slides, cannon shooting, pig race, petting zoo ( really nice one and many farm animals!) , train rides, corn maze (good one!) Food - make sure to bring cash! They accept only cash, the store has an atm just in case. Food was good and quick turn around. The store is pretty good with wide selection, not the best fudge though. The place gets crowded quickly during a weekends, to make sure to come early. While leaving around 1-2pm the car queue was almost half a mile long!"

"Amazing Experience, it was our first time Apple picking and I really didn’t know what to expect. Upon arrival my 1st observation was that it was BUSY Saturday w/ traffic, parking was not difficult as there is enough parking and employees are directing traffic. Apple picking bags are expensive but I guess you are paying for the experience which is worth it. Admission prices are also expensive for the full fun farm activities $26 a must have for the kids. Some activities are not controlled by employees which need to be especially with a large crowd. Tube slide have employees controlling kids going down the slide but do not have employees controlling the waiting line at the bottom. Kids/adult are in line waiting for the tube coming down and they must take turns going up. However some small children have no conscious about waiting in line and as children do they cut the line and just take the tube without asking who is next or think wait there is a line and I must go to the back of the line. You easily can wait 20/30 mins as there is no control in the bottom line. Store is full to the max of customers hard to walk and waiting in line wasn’t worth to me. I gave a 5 stars because regardless of the changes that need to be made it seems it’s a family business and they are definitely trying to give customers a unique experience."

"Enjoyed apple picking on this farm. This was our first apple picking experience. We went on the second Sunday of October. We struggled to find a lot for parking as it was crowded. Be ready for a steep downhill and uphill walk if going for apple picking. There were many photographic opportunities on the farm. There are many trees with a lot of apples for picking. We saw rotten apples on the ground in a few places. While walking on the farm. Please ensure not to step on these rotten apples. Bakery has a wide range of good products, and we liked apple cake and varieties of pies. We had a memorable experience. There are a few fun activities on this farm, especially for children."

"Everyone that works here are very friendly, polite and very helpful. I asked a gentleman that works there about the apples and he stopped what he was doing to help us out. Very helpful. When I got in line to pay the lady running the register was all smiles and very polite. Also a lot of goodies, like pies, jellies, jams, donuts and a lot of other deserts available . And slot of apples. You can also pick your own apples from the many trees they have available. There is also an animal petting area."
