Queener Farm

“I recently visited this wonderful local apple farm, and I was blown away by the experience! The beautifully redone barn houses a charming farm store offering fresh baked goods, an assortment of delicious canned goods, and amazing homemade apple cider and apple cider vinegar, all made on-site. With so many varieties of apples to choose from, the owners are incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to recommend the perfect apples for my needs, including delicious table apples for late summer and great varieties for canning my own apply pie filling. They’re also open on Saturdays, which is a big plus since many places aren’t open on weekends. This is a fantastic place to bring children, as they have the opportunity to see how the apples are picked and sorted, and there's a fun play structure on the property that the kids can enjoy. If you're looking for quality apples, expert advice, and a family-friendly atmosphere, this is the place to go!”

“Looking for a unique apple-picking experience? You've come to the right place! There are literally dozens of varieties here on this farm. The atmosphere is pretty laid back and somewhat self-directed. However, if you ask one of the owners for help they'll eagerly help you narrow down which apples will suit your palette or your next baking project. Another fun feature about this place is their cider pressing experience. Ask one of the owners to set you up to press your own cider pressing sessions. Crush some apples and have fresh cider that day! However if you don't want to press your own cider, you can purchase some by the gallon that has been pressed on-site. 10/10 would recommend checking out this family-run business!”

“Queener Farm and several other local farms and farm stands in and around Scio Oregon did a 'Crawl into Fall' event in September, we were able to visit about 12 farms and buy Local produce and some baked goods and homemade gifts. We were also able to enter our name in drawings for each place visited. Our name was drawn at Queener Farm for a 10.00 gift certificate we were able to get a gallon of fresh apple cider it is delicious. Your farm was delightful and we enjoyed our apples we purchased while on our adventure, thank you again for the tour and being able to participate in the Crawl. We love to be able to support local as well. We look forward to visiting again in the future.”

“Christina is great to work with, and has provided 1000 - 1600lbs of apples for me the last two years for cider making. High quality organic fruit, and she was very accomodating about providing the varieties I wanted. New owners in the last two years, very sweet young family keeping this orchard in production. If you want to have small family farms around then you have to support them! Highly recommend.”

“This apple farm is the best! Better than any farmer’s market I have been to! I was making an apple syrup for my coffee and a nice lady (I think she is the owner) gave me advice on what apples would be good for my syrup! You would be surprised about how many different types of apples there are! My syrup turned out delicious! Definitely will be coming back when I need to make another jar!”

“There are few things more pleasant than picking up my boxes of apples from Queener Farms! The golden-leaved, country setting is beautiful, you are greeted with the warmest of smiles from Christina, and the apples are such a delicious and interesting mix of varieties I’ve never tasted before. Very appreciated is the cover page which describes the history and attributes of each apple!”

“They make THE BEST apple cider ever, and have so many different varieties of apple that I didn't even know existed. It's one of my most favorite places to visit in the fall, and the source of most delicious honey crisps I've ever tasted.”

“This is a beautiful farm that is owned by the Fordyce Family. We had a wonderful orchard tour that ended in Cider making. My preschool class loved it!”
