“My hubby and I went here for some apple picking. We realized we locked our keys in the car immediately. Luckily they have a very big orchard with plenty of trees to examine as well as a hayride to a pumpkin patch. We explained the situation to the staff so they could understand why we were just hanging out towards the end, they were very accommodating and empathetic. Orchard was impressive and the people were hospitable.”
“Had the pleasure of visiting Irish Bend Orchard today with my family. Best experience we've ever had at an apple orchard. Kids loved the hay ride and the apple cider donuts were amazing! Also purchased some fresh vegetables and other items as well. Thank you for you're generous hospitality and we look forward to coming back again soon.”
“Such a cute farm with a great variety of activities and products. They have yummy hot cocoa and other drinks available. The hayride to the pumpkin patch is great. Products are fantastic and they have things from jam & apple butter to pickles and salsa. Apple picking was great also!”
“Took our pups and walked through the orchard and down to the pumpkin field! It was hot and no natural water on the path we took, so make sure you have water if you're bringing your pups on a hot day. Great pumpkins and apples, great people 😁”
“Irish Bend Orchard is a wonderful place for Peaches of all kinds, and produce. The people who work there are kind & helpful, and it’s a peaceful place to load up for canning season!”
“Very nice selection of fruits at all times in the season. We came late August for peaches, but also got pears and plums! Can’t wait to come back for apples in a few weeks!”
“This is easily the best orchard in the region. The owners are friendly and the fruit is excellent. Don't miss the hayrides to the pumpkin patch come Autumn!”
“This place is fantastic for pumpkin picking and very kind staff! Pumpkins are huge”
