“Lovely people! Lots of pigs to look at, as they eat apples, and they have a small store, but overall they sell wholesale. We went with the intention to pick apples, but that's not really offered. You can buy bags of apples, cider beer, honey and other items... But no apple picking!”
“Me and my Girlfriend stopped by the other day just to spend some time. Hoch Orchard did not disappoint! The lady there was very nice and let us try samples of everything. We got to feed little piggies apples too. Definitely going back next year.”
“I would highly recommend going here!!! It is such a beautiful place to visit!!! Also their Hard Cider is delicious and best of all organic!”
“We had such a nice experience today. The apples were delicious as well as the cider! Great customer service is worth the drive.”
“Great Ciders & Apples! Made the best apple pie ever with their organic apples!”
“It had great service I will love to come back!”
