Johnson's Orchard

“Love Johnson’s orchard! Have been coming here since I was little and we take all our friends during the summer. Pretty scenery and rows upon rows of apples and peaches. There’s also a little farm area down the trail from the main orchard area with animals the kids can enjoy visiting. And of course you have to say hello to Johnny Appleseed!”

“This is a great place to visit! They have a lot of attractions, flowers, wine, and of course all things apple related. You can pick fresh apples or get some from the bins. Great time and expense had been put in to make this a great place to visit!”

“One thing I love about road trips is the happy discoveries like Johnson's Orchard! Wonderful! Delicious pixe crisp apples and peaches! Feed the critters too!”

“The kids and I love feeding the animals and picking apples. You can get adult and kids slushies our favs and donuts. Great view.”

“Went there for a field trip. It was ok. This older gentlemen rabbled for 30-40 mins while the kid's 23rd starving.The shop was nice and the apple butter was delicious. Apple cider was good too. The bathrooms didn't have soap. May have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so muddy there also. Not stroller friendly. The good apples were delicious too. You pay $5 to get in and get free apples. They said they only wanted us to get 4-5 apples. Don't think I would go again, unless to go into the shop for wine or apple butter.”

“Not the best orchard if you’re looking for fresh apples. So many in the bins in the store were rotting. Many on the trees were the same way. Unorganized as far as picking. We asked about location in the orchard of types of apples and were told “they’re all mixed up”. If you’re in Bedford I suggest Gross Orchard. Silver Creek and Seaman’s is great if you’re over toward Crabtree Falls. Carter mountain is another great place if you’re close to Charlottesville.”

“We come here every year. Would be nice if they posted somewhere that the frost killed all the produce and they don’t have ANYTHING on the trees to pick so people aren’t driving over an hour for some donuts and a petting zoo. Only thing saving them is their homemade honey (which is the best I’ve ever had)”

“We hadn’t been in 8 years but previously had a wonderful time picking apples and feeding animals, was well kept. This time we were very disappointed. Prices were high and quality was low. The donut machine was down and the had muffins instead, skip them! Also, got a bag to pick apples and the trees were bare and looked really rough. Would have been better to just tell use the season was over. Finally, we went to feed animals and some where fine but there was a really old sick looking goat that looked to be in pain. My daughter was worried about him. Overall, if you want wine probably a great place if you want apple picking go somewhere else.”
