Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Kansas.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“What a lovely little place! The owners are so nice. There is a wide variety of apples and very full trees as of mid October. No entrance fee and you pay for apples by the pound. Our son loved riding in a complimentary wagon. There is a porta potty available and a few places to sit down in the orchard. No frills, laid back, great place. Definitely an annual tradition for our family!”

“This place is a sanctuary...it's only open maybe one more weekend...If I'd only checked Google Maps on the weekends I would not have missed it for local orchards. A complete variety of apples to pick from without an upfront cost and you don't even have to walk far to be at multiple trees to choose from. I missed the blackberries and peaches... but I won't next year.”

“We had a wonderful time here. We got a reservation through Facebook and it was not very crowded even for a Saturday morning. Plenty of good apples to pick from and peaceful and quiet! Our two year old loved picking them and there were plenty within reach. The employees were so kind and there were ladders and wagons and baskets to use!”
