“Extremely pleasant atmosphere and delicious pies. We usually come and order some slice of pies and sit under the trees in the yard to enjoy the peaceful and beautiful open-aired orchard. We never come home without bringing back a pie or two. Love this place!!! One time a bus took a group of seniors from an assisted living home here. An older lady asked if we wanted to share 1/2 of a pie with her. She wanted to eat some and bring back the rest; and the price of a slice is more expensive if buying 2 pieces instead of just having a whole pie cut in half. We felt sorry for her and accepted her offer. She was so happy with her pie and it made us super happy, too 😊”
“This is hands down the best apple pie ever. They have an apple crumble, the original apple pie, the tall apple pie, elderberry pie, and different types of pie like peach cobbler. It’s a family-owned place with a secret recipe. The owner is still alive and does everything herself. She’s amazing. You can walk around the ranch farm area and just relax. You can eat your apple pie there or inside. They also have jams for sale. Honestly, this is the best pie place ever.”
“Cute little ranch with a variety of treats for sale and a small picnic area to enjoy your treats. We had slices of the Dutch apple and triple berry pies and ended up leaving with a whole Dutch apple pie because it was so good. One of the best pies I’ve ever had. The place is easy to find and there’s ample parking. There is also a cute antique store to check out. Definitely check it out”
“Their Dutch Apple pie is to die for! I love it and whenever I am in town I will come by and grab a pie. Absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is great, the staff is kind. And I will be back!”
“Yummy pies and beautiful scenery! Famous for their olalieberry pies. We had two berry pie & strawberry shortcakes . Enjoyed coffee and strawberry shortcake in the ranch picnic benches.”
“Love Gidzich Ranch! Yummy pies and love listening to Nita’s stories and the fact that the ranch continues to operate in a most authentic wonderful way….”
“They have the BEST freshly pressed apple juice. I would drive 1 hour just to get the apple juice. Their apple pie is very good too.”
“Missed the last day of strawberry picking but it was worth going for the strawberry shortcake special 🍓🍰❤️”
