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

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

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.

Nicest people working there. Great cider, donuts and apples!

My family loves Curtis Orchard. Our first visit was in Sept. of 2014. We had just moved here and I was very pregnant with my daughter.

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.

Really nice place to have a vacation.

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.

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.
