Decided to check out this orchard. Apples are in season and that's what we went for…read more As you drive up, the workers will greet you and give you a bag for apples and tell you to take a picture of the map. If it's your first time here you may want to drive around before you park. Depending on what type of apples you're aiming for you may want to drive closer as it's an incline up. You pay for your apples at the store. There you can find pies, apple cider, bread, canned goodies and they also sell meats. The apple season began a month ago and most of the apple trees were picked at height level. We used an apple picker to get the apples high up. It was a beautiful, clear day ; about 80 degrees. Watch your ankles as the ground is uneven and there can be a lot of apples on the ground under and near the trees. There were other vendors near the store and portable toilets throughout the property. We are hoping to pick peaches next season!

Amazing prices, I got 9 apples, and apple cake for $12. The property was beautiful, you could see…read morethe mountain line. Trees were color coordinated based on apple variety. We had so much fun for our first time apple picking! They had tons of pumpkin and apple products in a farm store and baked goods, there were also some tents with vendors set up.

Scenic drive, friendly staff. Just driving to Williams is a great experience…read more Peaches are in!! Bought a bushel to blanch/peel/slice & freeze to replace last years' batch that just ran out. Pies, smoothies, trifles, ice cream. Yum!! We purchased a bushel of apples on our last visit, which we cored/peeled/sliced using an inexpensive gadget from Target or Ace Hardware(?). Froze on cookie sheets then transferred to gallon bags. We bought some that were a bit soft for pie--maybe because we froze them?--but are great dehydrated (for us & our dogs!) or made into apple butter. (Pies? Ask for the firmest apple.)

Everything is fresh, ready to be taken home. I was thinking peanuts, last time they had cans of Virginia peanuts. I grabbed a couple cans for giving at Christmas time. The smell of the pies baking stopped me for a minute...nothing like a fresh baked pie. They're not small like in the grocery store...it's a family sized pie. Apple, cherry, blueberry..too many choices. I decided on blueberry crumb. It was warm when I picked it up!. Ok time to hit the road, I'm feeling like pie and a little ice cream. I paid and was gone. When I was home it was some of the best pie I have ever had. Definitely recommend for fresh vegetables, nuts and fresh baked pie. You can't go wrong. I think the market is seasonal...not really sure. Maybe go online to check hours in the colder months.

I got to meet Mrs. Rinker who was checking in on the operation. Like many other families, we enjoyed a picnic lunch under a tree overlooking the orchard. The kids loved playing tag in the orchards. This a great family day trip and absolutely the best cider and apple butter I have ever tasted in my life. It's about an hour drive from Northern Virginia, but the apples were amazing - especially the golden delicious and Fuji. We are so fortunate to have such great produce here in VA like the peaches and apples. Its priceless to show your kids that you can pick fruit from the tree when its at the peak flavor. You cannot get that experience going to your local grocer.

We had Salmon which was overcooked with no seasoning. I couldn't finish even the small portion. A sauce would have helped a lot with the dryness and lack of flavor but there was no sauce. The chicken was also dry but had decent flavor in the skin. The roasted potatoes were good, the mixed veggies had the taste and texture of water. Realizing salt exists would help with a lot of things. The best thing we had was the Haggis and if you'e had Haggis you know that's pretty bad. There was also no effort to bus the tables when everyone was done. A large number of people started doing it themselves. It is a pretty place and I don't know anything about the other elements of the business (the store, etc) but I would not consider it for an event based on this experience.

Dog friendly farm. Love that I got to bring my dog along for the fun! In addition to apples, they had dig your own potatoes and a variety of salad greens, pumpkins and gourds available to pick. Since we went toward the end of the season, we were able to cut sunflowers for free. Apple cider donuts, bakery, and lunch items available on weekends only. Jarred items available for purchase at the stand. I got some baby dill pickles, which are delicious!
