Storybook Orchard

“Our first visit was on 9/29/24 at 12:00 p.m. This family owned and operated orchard is wonderful! They’re all incredibly friendly and the prices are perfect! Everything we got was delicious and fresh. Going and picking out pumpkins was such a fun experience and the orchard was beautiful! The kids had a blast too. 10/10!!! Second visit was on 10/7/25 at 4:15 p.m. Another great year visiting Storybook Orchard!!! This is such a fantastic family owned orchard with so many amazing things to choose from. The cute activities they have while picking apples and searching for pumpkins are so fun! Everyone is incredibly nice, too. Definitely worth the visit, and we will be back next year 🙌🏻”

“Holy cow, what a great experience! We opted to come here this year over a pumpkin patch with paid admission and they did not disappoint! The owners were so accommodating from the moment we stepped in the door until we were loaded back into our car. The walking path back to the pumpkin patch made for a relaxing little stroll and they had simple little activities scattered throughout that our young kids absolutely loved. We of course had to stop in for some goodies afterwards. We opted for the slushies, cider, caramel apples, and a caramel Dutch apple pie all of which was absolutely delicious! Needless to say, we will absolutely be back next year!”

“This is such a treasure of a little store and country style shopping. They have baked goods, fresh apples to buy or pick yourself, pumpkins of all varieties, mumms, jams, honey, and so on. The owners are extremely kind and offer samples of the apples while you shop around. Of course they are so good I almost always buy a bag. I recommend this spot to those who are not looking for the attractions and entry fees the other local orchards offer. If you just want all of the listed items above and more at reasonable prices head to this spot.”

“Heard about this little gem from an Instagram post! Not bad about an hour drive for us but we loved it! We met the owner and was able to pick our own apples, even tasting them as we went. The kids loved the big tractor and the pumpkin patch! We had a blast picking out some pretty huge pumpkins. We took home some raw honey, extra apples so that I can make apple butter. If you are looking for a family run orchard/pumpkin patch this is the place for you! We will be back for sure!!!”

“Storybook Orchard is a fun and family-friendly place to visit. Visiting is free, which makes it even better. It’s a great spot for apple picking, fresh cider, and seasonal activities. The orchard is clean, well organized, and easy to walk around. I also bought honey from there, and it was really good. A nice place to spend a relaxed day with family or friends, especially during the fall season.”

“A beautiful Apple 🍎 picking farm near Ames. The owner were friendly, and we loved their fresh fruits and vegetables. I will highly recommend 👌.”

“Support local! Great family run orchard and many tasty and awesome treats. Got some awesome pumpkins at a reasonable price”

“The staff here are super friendly and helpful. Lots of apples, pumpkins to chose from. Some very unique pumpkins as well. A little shop with goodies to purchase. Prices typical of other orchards around except no admission fee. Saw a lot of couples and this would be a neat place for a date on a fall afternoon.”
