“Cute place to go apple picking in the fall! Bonus is that they are dog-friendly (dogs must be on a leash). The owner and staff were very friendly and there are also horses you can see. There were some prickly dried plants near the apple trees, so it's probably best if your dog can wear booties. Or just be on the lookout for them and make sure to pick them off your dog's paws. The Google maps directions is not entirely accurate for the entrance. It led me to a house. I had to drive a little further down the road. When you see a white apple stand, turn into the dirt road and drive into the farm. There are parking spaces marked within.”

“Gem of a family apple orchard and working farm with Arabian horses and vintage barn. Fun fall decor. Reserve a u-pick time online with small fee that includes a pound of apples. $2/lb thereafter. Available until picked out around the end of October. Free parking and restrooms available. School groups welcome.”

“Lovely organic u-pick apple farm with bonus visit with Arabian horses and chickens. The host, Luz, and her assistant, Lucca, were great. Easy to get to, ample parking, porta potty available.”

“Full transparency - the rating is based on the fact that we just can’t find this place. Checked google map and my car’s GPS. Saw another car circling, looking equally lost. I’m not sure if this place is open yet (we went September 11, 2022).”

“Not very good apple picking. We drive over an hour to pick Ida Red apples which we’re advertised on the website as available for picking. When we arrived to disappointment they were no Ida Reds for picking. We told the owner we very disappointed because we drove all that way to come pick Ida Red apples she nonchalantly told us the farm had only one Ida Red apple tree and described it as “not doing well”. Furthermore the apple picking seemed like a money grab because being originally from the east coast we have never been charged a few to pick apples. Poorly managed and huge disappointment.”
