First year we've been to this orchard. Heard many great things. My kids and I met up with a friend…read moreand her kids on a day they were off from school. It was busy, but not too busy. Our kids' ages ranged from 4-8. We bought tickets at the booth and let our kids pick 3 activities each. They all stuck together and picked: bounce house, zip line and, haunted play area (can't remember what it was called). There were quite a few other activities we didn't do. Not too many people made it enjoyable and the kids basically were able to stay in the bounce house as long as they liked. The zip line was a first for my kids and it was really cool. Was nervous about them hanging on, but my 4 year old and 7 year old did it. That event went quickly with 1 ride. Another go, and it would have cost us more tickets. And they wanted to go again, but off to the last activity we went. This area allowed many kids to run around, climb structures, go down slides, hide, etc. They spent quite a bit of time in this area running around, splitting in 2 groups, hiding from each other, etc. Tractor ride to the apple trees was fun. Prices were reasonable and better than some other orchards. Honey crisp $2/lb and all others 1.20/lb. A porta potty by the tractor drop off was appreciated, as of course, my son had to go in the middle of apple picking! The food place had a larger than expected menu. Food was pretty good. We were all hungry by then! Great experience and I'd love to go back!

They also have fresh made take out sandwiches, salads and snack packs. I love their dill tuna and waldorf chicken salads.

Specialties would be their jams and pickles- I have fun just looking at the names of them. Their candy selection is also good, especially if you like gummy candies. I can also find some unique sodas such as white birch beer, sassafras soda, and cheerwine to name a few. There is a little gift shop/religious books section near the front, which can be nice to browse through. Saunders sells outdoor furniture and decor, and there is a furniture store proper attached. I've been especially tempted by their swiveling and gliding rocking chairs. I've had some good food at the cafe, the Reuben in particular being super tasty. You do have to enter the cafe through the store and park your cart before you go into the cafe. You order at the counter and then the staff gives you a number and will bring you your meal. Car parking is ample here but there are speed bumps, so watch it! I haven't noticed any bike racks, so cyclists likely need to get creative. The store is closed on Sundays and can be busy with campers during the summer months.
