Before you go

A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Iowa.

  • 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.
  • Wear clothes you don’t mind getting stained; berry juice and field mud travel home with you.
  • Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Arguably one of the top 3 pumpkin patches in town. I frequently write reviews for local hot spots and have to say… this is a favorite. It’s popular for a reason but the farm is big enough that the only wait you’ll have is to buy food or tickets. From start to finish we enjoyed our adventure to this orchard. Plenty of parking. Cute goats, pigs, and chickens to pet. Yummy and fresh kettle corn available on site. They sell jams, custom soaps, pumpkins, gourds, hand knit apple hats, a variety of apples, cider, pickles on a stick, brats, fresh donuts and more. We enjoyed the little corn maze a lot. The tour was by a young farm hand that made the hay ride feel like the first one he had to do that day, even though it was probably his hundredth! Plus there are plenty of options for cute family fall photos. The kids area is part of the entrance tickets. 2 yo and under are free. Our kiddo loved playing here. This farm is extremely well taken care of. All the fences look new. Highly recommend this orchard for a fun family outting.”

“Beautiful place to spend your Saturday! Pick some apples, and find the best pumpkin in the patch. Taste a delicious cider donut, apple cider, take a hayrack ride, pet a pig or feed some goats and get in a bit of fun time in the kids play area before you find your way through the corn maze and go home with a beautiful farm grown mum and some delicious snacks! A great escape from the daily grind!”

“Went here with our family this afternoon while in Des Moines visiting from Canada. Our kids played for hours in the kids area. We did the hay tractor ride and picked fresh apples that were some of the most delicious apples I’ve ever eaten. My son called it a 10/10 day.”

“Great experience minus the crowds! This orchard had all the activities that the others have and it’s much more reasonably priced without the crowds! The Wills family is wonderful and continues to invest is a great, fun, family experience! We will be back!!!!”

“Highly recommend Will’s family Orchard! Food is delicious, apples are the best in the state and the field of fun activities are wonderful for kids. They offer low spray as well as organic apples. I visit annually and am never disappointed!”

“Wow what an amazing place it is !!! We love to come every year for pumpkin 🎃 patch and apple 🍎 picking. But we came end of the season this time.. My daughters enjoyed this place. Yummy donuts 🍩, apple cider, and dessert 🍨”

“This was a beautiful experience with my wife and two boys. Everybody had a different part that they liked the best. Mine was the apples, the Winecrisp variety apples were very sweet and very crisp. Highly recommend.”

“We had a great time here! Our toddler enjoyed the play area and the whole farm is very scenic. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable as well!”
