“Just wanted to share my experience today on this absolutely amazing 75°sunny September afternoon at Holmberg Orchards...one of my favorite spots this time of year throughout the fall season that is upon us :) as soon as you open Holmberg's front entranceway door you can smell the freshly baked homemade apple pies...an other amazing treats...all different flavors of hand picked apples and cider...its a amazing place to visit and you can even do your own apple picking aswell! A great place to visit and enjoy! Highly recommend this place:)”
“Holmburgs Orchard is a charming family orchard. The farm store has freshly made bread, unique delicious salads and pies. You can pick your own fruits depending on the season. There is a tractor ride through the orchard and a corn maze in fall. Huge collection of pumpkins in fall. Plenty of parking, easy to find and family friendly”
“We had an amazing time picking apples and nectarines. The fruit right off the tree is to die for. There is nothing better. They had a tractor to transport you around and you could even cut down your own flowers. I would recommend to anyone, 10/10. The prices are a little high but definitely worth it.”
“Such a cute surprise to find off the beaten path while driving through the area! While the pick your own is overpriced, the shop itself is a dream. Everything from cider donuts and slushes to cheese, milk, syrup, home, beer, wine and more! Great stop to enjoy the flavors of fall”
“Love Holmberg's and have been enjoying their fresh produce and products for years. Glorious Morning & Blueberry Muffins and Apple Crisp are family faves. The team there is top-notch: friendly and knowledgable. Impressed by Gray at the cash register. He was right on task.”
“My daughter and I have been pear picking raspberry picking blackberry picking and blueberry picking and every time we are thrilled with our take! And we top it off with a visit to their store for everything from delicious baked goods to fresh produce. Always a treat!!”
“My family goes here every year around Halloween. It is a tradition we all love. Apple cider and donuts and tractor rides and apple picking! Beautiful scenery and a great place to take pictures. Their pies at the holidays are literally the best!”
“Lovely Apple picking experience! The rows are well labeled and the apples are abundant. It was crowded in the main area the fall Saturday that we went, with a very long line for cider donuts, but the fields themselves were not overly crowded.”
