It's a smallish covered stand, maybe 15 feet long, with an additional air-conditioned room for their home-canned goods like beets, pickles, jams, relishes, etc. On my most recent trip I got tomatoes, lemons, green and yellow zucchini, pickling cukes, and jalapenos, but I've also gotten red potatoes, canned beets, green beans, peas (already shucked!), blueberries, cucumbers, strawberry bread, onions, okra, watermelon--and I know I'm forgetting some. I've been wanting to try some fresh eggs this year, but the super hot weather apparently isn't conducive to chickens laying eggs. I'd highly recommend a stop here--and be warned that it may become a go-to place for you, too! **CREDIT CARDS NOT ACCEPTED

Friends and I went to pick apples at Millstone Creek Orchards. We arrived and checked in under the…read moreport. We were given samples of a few different apples from the orchard while we were given instructions. We took a 5 minute hayride down to the section of apples that we would be selecting from. I'm not sure if we had come at the end or close to the end of the season but the apples that were available weren't the best. After apple picking, we took the ride back to the entrance where we shopped in the Apple Barn. The cider (non alcoholic) slushie was delicious. My favorite part of my entire time was eating the cider donuts. Made fresh and they melt in your mouth. We also visited the Cider House. They have a small selection of hard cider, other beverages, & a small selection of food. I do wish they had more options for folks that can't have dairy or don't eat pork. Overall experience was cute and the staff were friendly. If you plan on doing any of the picking from any of the orchards you can be cute but be comfy. It's a working orchard so there will be hay, dirt, bugs, etc.

While visiting our daughter, we decided to go apple picking. The day that we went (8/30) was the…read morefirst day of apple picking season. You have to purchase tickets online (no on-site sales) and it's $18.95 pp which gives you access to the apple orchard, apple tasting, hayride to the orchard, cider pressing demonstration with a fresh cider sample and access to the catch and release fishing pond. They suggest that you bring your own pole and bait. You also get to sample an apple cider slushee which was refreshing after being in the sun picking apples. If you want to pick apples, it's an additional cost based on whether you want a 1/4 peck or 1/2 peck. You have to purchase that when you purchase your event ticket. The apples that they had available were Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Fuji and a really tart apple that's good for baking (I forget the name of the apple). They also have Arkansas Black apples but they weren't ready for picking yet. We had a great time picking apples. We're from South Florida where you only see apples in the grocery store. There's a play area for the kids to run around and play. It's a fun activity, especially if you have kids.
