“Love this place — we go every year!”

So much to do! And age appropriate activities! We will definitely be going every year!

One of the best ciders in the Midwest; we try to get some every year. We got here on a beautiful fall day this time – ideal for photos on top of everything else. We love the shop. Stock up on apple varieties we love, nab a syrup or two, small bag of rocks (every year), apple donuts, and fudge (whether or not we need it), apple slushies when we need a drink, clever wall decor to crack us up, jams, honeys… The goats and chickens are always fun. … Glad to have a good orchard so close to us. … Read more

“Is a great place to go so much to see so much to do and great food”

Great place to visit for beautiful apples, Apple picking, pumpkin patch, delicious Apple cider donuts, and many neat gifts. Plus the staff are so friendly and helpful. Stop by if you are in the area.

Grandkids love going here they have a blast every time – even our one year old.

Honeycrisp will change your life!!! Seriously these are really good! And the apple donuts? Good enough to start a fight over. This is a great orchard close to the UIUC campus. Lots of fun activities for kids too (hay rides, mazes, etc.) but the apples are where it’s at! Everytime I’m down there it’s a must visit.

It is a wonderful stop for the family in September and October. We visit here several times a season to get apples and pumpkins. The Apple slushes and apple donuts are to die for.

Amazing place! Just stopped in to get some fresh cider while on a road trip and discovered a fantastic family friendly land of Oz adventure with delicious fresh local food. I recommend this wonderful place to everyone within driving distance.

Great place to visit with the kids or just stop in the store for their signature donuts and cider and lots of other tasty items. Super friendly staff!
