I would wear sneakers, have water and possibly a hat for shade.
I just pray and hope they do something with all the fallen and wasted apples!
An amazing place. I've been up there twice now and it is always phenomenal. The apples are delicious and it's a great bonding activity to go picking. The views are amazing and it just so happens that tons of people bring their adorable dogs so that's a plus. The Apple cider doughnuts and the apple pie are both great, but the apple cider slushy really takes the cake. Simply delicious.
I don't know what happen to the sticks they used to have to help you pick the apples, but you need a person to try to get the apples down and one to catch the apples falling.
It has awesome views and it is a terrific experience!....
I think everyone loves the donuts!
I had a great time at the orchard picking apples. Great place to go with friends and family. They have awesome food and drinks and you can spend a really nice day enjoying an amazing view.
This place is great. The sheer acreage is impressive as all get out. The drive up the windy, twisty drive up the fruit tree forest is quite scenic. Looking to your right for a brief moment you can see a beautiful mountain view. Once you arrive, the scenery is even better. You can see for what looks like 50 miles or more.
At the top of the hill where the buildings and parking lot are is where the action happens. There is a small two person info booth that informs you of the $1.69 per lbs price and equips you with a clear plastic bag and let you know you pay for what you pick.There were many choices of what apple we could pick. Most had the same price,but some were a little higher (average of $ .10 or so).
Had a bllast here. You can either purchase picked Apple's or pick your own. There is a grill with hot dogs, burgers, fries and if course Apple pie. Very well known for their Apple cider donuts, and yes it is hard to eat just one! On the backside if the Apple barn is a brewery with hard ciders. There are picnic tables, hayrides and more. Great family outing, nice for a date or hanging out with a group of friends
We ate and picked and had a GREAT time. Staff was friendly and quick to help. We plan on going back next year. The gift shop has a killer view and as an amateur photographer, I took full advantage. You must try the cider slushies and the warm apple donuts. Wow, we're they incredible!!
My family and I love coming here!!!
This may not be for the physically Unfit though, there are hills and good bit of walking.
