Pickling Cukes

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!

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

Great selection of pumpkins and goodies. Something for everyone to do. Staff is friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking. Good food. We love going here.

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.

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

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

I’m so beyond thrilled we have such a treasure so close to home. Such a great little place!

Great family place. Enjoy a day of fall fun, there is something for everyone with kids activities, apple picking and pumpkin patch and the country store! Love this place! 3rd year in a row we have come with grandkids.

Curtis Orchard is filled with plenty of activities for young and old! Every time we go we can’t leave without getting some of there delicious Apple Cider and donuts! Don’t forget to bring quarters so you can feed the goats and chickens! My boys love being able to ride the ponies and slide down the big slides, and of course it’s not tradition without taking the tractor wagon ride through the orchard then walking out into the patch to find the biggest pumpkin!

I think they have 8 varieties of apples when we were there. the apple fritters are amazing. They are light and not too oily or sweet like found in most stores. The apple butter is really good and thick. Perfect for biscuits or cornbread.
