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.

A working apple farm with cider press. Cafe with fresh donuts. You can watch them being made! Don’t miss the cider press. Gift shop with many interesting items. Goat to feed, play areas for different ages. Something different to do. Close to town but feels like a farm.

My experiences at Curtis Orchard are consistently heartwarming. I go every year to celebrate the love of two of my best friends, and I stop in a few other times for pumpkins and apples. Your staff is always friendly and helpful, and the apple donuts are to die for. You’re a gem on the hand of Central Illinois. Thanks for being awesome!

Stopped by for the first time on a Saturday to pick up some apples. Left with apples, cider, and donuts. Apples were fresh and crisp, the donuts were moist and addictive, and the cider had just the right amount of tart and sweet.

“Lots of fun for the kids. Ages 5 and 7.”

We were there in the fall and it was so much fun!~ Lots of activities for the kids, great apples and a really nice shop with lots of things for sale~

I bought a bag of apples and two jars of Curtis Orchards delicious Praline Pecan Honey Butter. Out of this world!
