Came here on Sunday after going to the orchard, it's about a 12- minute drive away. Here they have a hayride, a corn maze, sunflower and pumpkin picking, and a produce and gift shop. We just wanted to do the corn maze, so we headed over there to buy our tickets. You can also buy a combination ticket for the hayride and corn maze if you prefer. It's pretty hot here, and given the lack of shade, I highly recommend sunscreen or hat. The corn maze wasn't necessarily challenging, but it can take a while to get through, so definitely be prepared for that. There are differing levels, though you can do an easy one, more intermediate one, or a challenge one. We did the intermediate one and it took us about 30 minutes. It was a fun way to spend the morning and definitely worth the drive from Tucson. read more

Apple Annie's Produce & Pumpkins - Farmers Market Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

I love visiting Apple Annie's this time of year! Most are traveling to their last vacations and we are visiting Apple Annie's to pick up our green corn tamale fixings! Love looking at the fields with all the veggies growing, the monsoon weather is perfect. Thank you for all the workers that work hard for all this wonderful food! read more

It's fun to go to the farm and it is nicely organized. The fruit that we could pick was either mostly rotten or overly picked over. The produce and pumpkins are clearly labeled and were at the right stage for picking. Plan to spend A Lot of money for the experience. All the baked goods, ciders, jams, and salsas are delicious! read more

Do not go during a week day, even the staff complains about working during the week. Almost everything wasn't open or attended to. Upon arrival I had to ask about everything. I was just given the Gen Z. Stare... (Avery & Crystal) asked for bags and they pushed the stack towards the front of the counter. Not friendly or helpful. We gave them a small Jesus figure from the gift shop downstairs (since there was no one to help us checkout upstairs). They handed the figure to the kid and then accused us of theft...of a Jesus figure that we gave them to ring up. It's been very underwhelming and a horrible experience. Most of the fruit was bad too. read more

About an hour and a half drive East of Tucson, Apple Annie's is a decent little farm to visit if you make a day trip and visit some winery's or other local interest in the area. They have a corn maze ($10/person), fresh picked or pick your own produce options, hayrides, pick your own sunflowers and pumpkins, and a little store at one part of their farm. Then several miles away they have an apple orchard that you can pick your own apples. They also have a gift shop, and another little market store with more baked goods. It is a good time if you have children or looking to get out of town for a couple of hours. read more

We wanted to avoid the crowds so we went during the middle of the week... but what we didn't know is that meant we got the "no frills" version. No extras were open. Since we went right after a huge storm everything was muddy so we didn't even go to the corn maze or to the pumpkin patch, we just walked around the store, which was cute and they have so much produce!! I would say if you have older kids like 5-10 going on the weekend would be a blast! They provide wagons for the pumpkins. And they even have a thing where they will roast whatever produce you pick or buy so you can eat it there! read more

If you need a big batch of dazzling seasonal fun, head to Apple Annie's Produce and Pumpkins. From the covered outdoor store, with piles of pre-picked varietals, to the acres upon acres of pick-your-own fruits, vegetables, and gorgeous pumpkins of all sizes and colors (orange, lemon-yellow, white, grayish-sage, warty mixed-color, and more), there's something for everyone. And when you're finished on the produce side, head over to the sunflower fields, where the rows and rows of person-high flowers just seem to smile right at you. There's also a large corn maze, and if you get lost there on the weekend, they promise to come find you by Thursday. Too, too fun -- and don't forget a stop at Annie's Country Store, for lunch, artisan crafts, and all the apple treats (bread, butter, and pie) you can possibly eat! read more

What an extremely major disappointment it was to drive 195 miles only to find the produce was at exaggerated tourist trap prices! Much better-looking produce can be purchased at a much better prices at a grocery store! Apple Annies sells a three-pound jar of honey for $24.99, and a five-pound jar priced at $17.97 can be purchased at a big box store. Apple Annies is asking $25.00 for a large pumpkin and at a similar venue it was $7.00 for a similar size pumpkin! A big box store sells a similar size pumpkin for $3.97 which means that Annies is charging $21.03 more than the big box store which is a massive price difference! The only fruit I saw on the trees was beyond my 8-foot reach. Biting flies were everywhere because of the rotting fruit on the ground. The corn field maze is expensive at $10.00 for adults and $8.00 for kids! A picnic table was messy. Approximate price of a donut at a donut shop is about $1.00 compared to their price of $2.50 for a donut. I vehemently do not recommend Apple Annies due to the astonishing high prices this place charges for their products! read more

My partner and I usually stop at Apple Annie's produce stand after we've been to the orchard. If we've driven two hours, we might as well make both stops. The orchard is only a few miles further from I-10, and there is plenty of signage. If you are making the trip for vegetables and are traveling any distance, call the hotline first to see what they have. Since we stop by when we've already been to the orchard, we have not picked our own produce here or come for the pumpkin patch. We try to park near the tree line at the produce stand (so the fruit doesn't cook before we get it home) and buy produce that is already picked. The already picked vegetables typically are higher priced than what is in the grocery store. That said, the baker's dozen of sweet corn (not available for u-pick) is fresh and deliciously sweet. If you arrive close to lunch time, you also can get some perfectly roasted ears of sweet corn buttered or not with a selection of seasonings. Yum! read more

If I were coming here for produce, I guess I would be upset by the lack of options. The shortage IS posted on their website and social media though. This is our first time here and I was fully expecting just precut pumpkins in dirt. The land was beautiful, beautiful mountain background. Carts, shears, snacks, picture perfect spots all readily available. It was hot but a wonderful family day. read more

I was excited about the Sweet Corn Extraveganza and looking forward to an event. My other half and I drove 90 minutes to get to this farm , which was pretty easy to find. Turning into the drive I have to say i was underwhelmed but hopeful. There was a sign that read "Hay Rides" but alas there weren't any. A few families were there and some wandered into the fields close by but few came out with any produce. The produce stands were not full nor was there a large variety. My guy walked over to the wall that held apple butters but he didn't select any. Needless to say I was not going home without sweet corn so I bought a half dozen and one roasted corn on the cob. The roasted corn was good but they use a crock pot with margarine that customers can use and there is a butter brush that's not disinfected, be cautious. The corn I brought home was smaller than the roasted ones they sold. Disappointed in the "Extraveganza". read more

For anybody looking to go to Apple Annie's for produce. Be fore warned! We checked the website for the previous calendar for pickling cucumbers. We also called their recorded daily number for what they had in stock and they said they had pickling cucumbers. So we jump in the truck and do the hour and 40 minutes down there. Walk into the produce stands. And it was wall to wall empty bins. We went into the refrigerated produce area not a pickling cucumber in sight. Went out to the one person that was there and asked when they're going to restock. She said" I don't know"! And went back to looking at her phone. We went out to the Self pick sections. And the pickling cuke section was picked through. What a waste of the day. 4 hours of driving. $45 in gas. Very disappointed in them. Especially when you call in the morning and it goes directly to voicemail and a voicemail says it's full. So you called The daily number that they have an updated daily and it shows that they have the product in stock. Really Apple Annie's you can do better than that! Anybody know where else I can get pickling cucumbers? read more

Disappointing customer service. I was waiting for my chile order to get roasted. The clerk said they would let me know when my chiles were ready, so I went to wait on the bench next to wheelbarrows. After half an hour, I went to check on my chiles, they no longer had the ones I asked for. I had asked for 4 bags of hot and 4 bags of medium; They only had 1 bag of hot left. The clerk then berated me for not asking about the status of my order earlier, saying it was my fault they no longer had the ones I originally asked for. If it had been busy I could understand the confusion, however it was a slow day. During my wait, I was often the only customer in the store area. As a returning customer, I don't want to recommend the Apple Annie's produce & pumpkins location to my friends. read more

Been taking the family to Apple Annie's for pumpkins and produce for years. Has been a good experience until this past Halloween. Tried to pick our own apples and there were none in the orchards. The rest of the trip was good though. read more

We were on the search for some pumpkin and had heard from friends that Apple Annie's was the perfect place to go. This review is for both the orchard and the pumpkin patch. The locations are about 3miles away from each other. The pumpkin patch offers hayrides, kettle corn popcorn, a corn maze and the ability to pick your own veggies. The orchard offers you the ability to pick your own fruits, a bakery and gift shop. Apple Annie's is a great place for groups, especially families. Tip- One of the best parts of this location is that they sell cider donuts. The cider donuts are fantastic! read more

Great fun doing all our produce picking, but geez, staff could barely be bothered to ring up our purchase of $60. Talk about country bumpkins! read more

So cute!!! Awesome for families. We enjoyed picking apples and pumpkins. The staff is so nice and the sweets they have are yummy. Glad we didn't come after they close for the season. read more

Apple Annie's Produce & Pumpkins - Baby loved Apple Annie's - Farmers Market Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

We stopped to rest and had a little picnic after visiting the orchard and purchasing a lot of produce and delicacies. After doing so we were approached by an employee of Apple Annie's that yelled at us. When we asked why he was so upset he proceeded to tell us he is giving us 2 seconds to get off of the property before he calls the Sheriff. At that point we picked up our things, didnt leave a mess, threw our trash away, and just left very upset. We come here every year and enjoy our time there but I will never be coming here again. read more

Don't come to Apple Annie's. We have been coming to apple Annie's for over 8 years and this year An apple Annie's worker was very rude and prejudice toward my family and I when we were having a picnic. We spoke with a manager and they did nothing about it. We will not be coming back here anymore. read more

We had a lot of fun taking pictures with the sunflowers and the pumpkins. It's a really cute set up!

Yes you can buy a pumpkin at your local grocery store, but does that create a memory for your children? Willcox is a short drive from Tucson and you drive through the always beautiful Texas Canyon. The pumpkins are laying in wait for you to choose one, two, three or more to celebrate the season. The friendly staff at Apple Annie's just adds to the experience. While you're there you purchase chiles, tomatoes, cucumbers and other freshly harvested veggies to take home for delicious meals. Apple Annie's is more than fruits and vegetables, it's about creating experiences and the next generation learning the source of our food. read more

Apple Annie's Produce & Pumpkins - The pumpkins are waiting for children of all ages to come and take one home. - Farmers Market Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

Their website said pumpkins and produce September and October open daily 9 to 5. Drove all the way to Willcox from another town in AZ to find out that they don't have any pumpkins yet. When I asked one of the workers there where their cutters were for the pumpkins she told me they don't have them out yet because they don't have pumpkins yet. I told her that their website said September and October and did not say anything about not having them ready yet. She responded back very rudely and said they have not advertised the pumpkins yet. I guess she doesn't know what her own website says then. So we decided to at least get some produce while we were there and try to make the best out of our trip, but their produce was in bad shape. Most of it was rotten and spoiled. Not a good experience to say the least. read more

If you're looking for a fun day with the kids where you get to walk around and enjoy nice weather and get in the mood for the fall season, then this is your place. Depending on the time of year, they have apples, pears, peaches, corn, all kinds of squash, tomatoes, green beans, and so much more. (There is an apple orchard orchard on one side of the road and a large vegetable garden on the other side). Kids love picking the apples and they are relatively inexpensive. (Certain times of the year the rest of the produce can get a little pricier if it's out of season). Just make sure to go when the weather is nice or else NO ONE will enjoy themselves. read more

The drive from Tucson is long - but it's almost all freeway. The closer you get to Wilcox, the more beautiful the desert becomes. We were greeted with a man handing out fresh kettle corn, then handed a map and a wheel barrel - it was really fun! We picked bell peppers, green beans, broccoli, jalepenos, pablanos, corn on the cob...all for $17! One tip - go early in the morning to avoid hear/crowds! read more

This is the second time that our family has made the 3 hour drive to the corn maze, hayride, & pumpkin patch. We love Annie's. It was a nice warm day and we ventured through the corn maze, a little tricky but we did it, then headed to the hayride to ride along the fields with a nice breeze & sun. We found 4 perfect pumpkins that were reasonably priced. The staff were super friendly and it was an amazing morning. The only downfall is we couldn't purchase a pie to take with because it would've suffered from the heat in the car. read more

Going to Apple Annie's in the fall is my yearly ritual. No fall is complete without a trip to Wilcox! This year we stopped by "THE THING" on the way and paid our $1 dues for a truly "sensational" experience (by the way, totally worth "it" = $1). When we got to the apple orchard in the late fall, most of the apple trees were already robbed of apples, so we went to the very edge of the apple orchard for some less bruised apples. BUT, you don't just go there for a bucket of granny smith apples. You go there for the whole fall package: homemade apple pie with a scoop of ice cream, apple cider, apple butter, and the fun! The pumpkin patch is close to the apple orchard, where you can get lost in a corn maze, hop onto a hay ride, sample the caramel kettle corn, and buy some plump pumpkins for carving. Yes, we have the fall season in Arizona! read more

Maybe I love this place because I grew up in Cochise County and the highlight of my year was when Apple Annie's opened to sell glorious corn, peaches, apples and burgers. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't love it, too. Between the fact that Willcox runs 20 degrees cooler (on average) than the heat pit of Phoenix and that they have the best pumpkins & hay ride festivities in the state, driving 7 hours RT from Phoenix is completely worth it. Should you go in early-mid summer, prepare yourself for the BEST sweet corn in the state, with roasted sweet corn that will knock your socks (or sandals) right off your feet. Their tomatoes, squash, and green beans are incredible. And if you like fruit pie, I can't think of a better place to buy several pounds of Gala, Pink Lady or Granny Smith apples to throw a delicious pie together with. And PEACHES. Their peaches are the best I've ever had, really truly. This year Willcox sadly had a late frost that ruined their peach harvest, but next year I look forward to the greatest peaches I've had in my 26 year short life. If you get hungry, their orchard location has a delicious burger barn, and they even serve pancakes and waffles on the weekends! Don't forget to check out their pies, fudge, apple and peach cider, and their various jars of pickles, jams and spreads. You won't regret it. Just make sure your bank account is fat, because even though the prices are so reasonable, you'll want to buy 20 of everything! read more

Apple Annies is a lot of fun and has everything product you could ever want regarding apples and then some.We bought apple bread, pumpkin bread, hot apple cinnamon syrup, apple butter, jalapeno jelly, peach twists and fresh apple pie. We bought out the store! :). Most everything was quite good. The apple pie was tasty but not the best I have ever had. We had a great time, and I would recommend the trip to anyone who hasn't been there. read more

Let's face it: southern Arizona's lack of four seasons (especially fall) sometimes makes it difficult to feel inspired around the holidays. A trip to Apple Annie's provides a great little escape for those yearning for some seasonal change and looking for some family farming fun. Nothing like tromping through a pumpkin patch or trying to find your way through a corn maze to help get you in the holiday spirit! Apple Annie's is two separate farms: one is a U-pick orchard, and the other is dedicated to veggies and flowers. We've gone several times during apple season, but this past summer we went to pick peaches. Wow - the peaches were incredible! It was towards the end of peach season, so we were all feeling a sense of urgency riding the tractor out to the orchards. My daughter asked, "What if they don't have any peaches left?" No worries there. Within minutes, each of us had completely filled our 5 gallon buckets with ripe, luscious peaches. It was so quick and easy, we almost felt ripped off - like we should have had to work for it more! We were told it was okay to sample the merchandise "in moderation," so we each dug into a peach while waiting to catch the hay ride back. Amazing! If there is a downside, it's that we picked way more than we could possibly eat in a couple of days, and they were so ripe they weren't going to keep long. But the time spent preparing them for our freezer paid off - they made the absolute best peach pies and jam which we enjoyed for months. They grow a number of U-pick veggies, and everything we've brought home has been delicious. Tomatoes, sweet corn, okra, eggplant, various types of squash, peppers, cucumbers, the list goes on. They have fields of sunflowers in the fall, and of course the annual pumpkin patch. The kids always enjoy searching through the patch for "the best" pumpkin, and afterwards grabbing an ear of roasted corn and some roasted chilies to go. We were thrilled that both the orchard and the veggie farm started serving food (like hot dogs, burgers, ranch beans, etc.) - simple stuff, but if you've ever been to Willcox, you're well aware of how dismal the restaurant selection is, so this was a welcome addition. They also have fresh pie with homemade and fudge, and it's always delicious. You aren't going to save money by driving out to Apple Annie's for your produce - from Tucson, it's over an hour away, and the prices often run higher than the supermarket. But the quality is fantastic, it tastes terrific, and I think there's value in knowing where your food comes from and the work that goes into producing it. My kids can correctly identify all kinds of vegetables that most of their friends can't, and I can attest to the fact that they are much more willing to eat "scary" stuff (like brussel sprouts!) when they have had a hand in picking it. So don't go because it's a bargain. Go because it's entertaining, educational, good for you, and you'll walk away with some delicious food and fun memories. read more

Apple Annie's Produce & Pumpkins - Sunflower fields. - Farmers Market Near Me - Willcox, Arizona

Perfect place for fall family fun! We made the drive down from Tucson to get out pumpkins for Halloween, etc. It is a bit of a drive, but that is part of the fun! We went on Friday early afternoon, so it really was not crowded at all, but I imagine it gets quite busy on the weekends. They have a great market area with lots of pumpkins, squash, and lots of other freshly picked veggies, etc, available--but we wanted to pick our own pumpkins so we headed out to the pumpkin patch. We stopped by the corn maze on the way out there and went through the toughest maze--which was super fun and unique. It is QUITE dusty there, and I was still in my work clothes--so I would re-think that for next year! They also had hay rides available but we did not participate. The pumpkin patch itself is quite dusty as well, but there were lots of good pumpkins there in all different sizes/shapes--and all five of us left there quite happy with our selection! I am not sure how much they usually charge--but the cashier who checked us out only charged us $5 for each pumpkin, and each of them was about basketball sized--so that was cheaper than it would have been at the supermarket. Of course we ended up buying their apple bread (which is the best!!) and their apple pie (which looked awesome but was not so great), as well as some habanero salsa, squash, etc. The journey is the fun part--so go with your family or significant other and enjoy the scenery and the novelty of the place! read more

We come here every year to get our pumpkins two weeks before Halloween. Prices are reasonable, not cheap. Make sure to do the corn maze. The kids (and me!) love it. They also have fresh produce, apple butter, and kettle corn that you can't leave without. 10/20/12 read more

We visited Apple Annie's to buy some vegetables this week. It's very easy to find the vegetable farm - signage is great. Weekday visit - was not very busy. We bought green beans & corn at the vegetable location. Prices are on the expensive side whether you pick or they pick. Their vegetables are very fresh & tasty. It was a little too early for a good selection of vegetables - not too much to pick from. read more

As a frequent quest. Today they didn't disappoint. Nice variety of items to purchase. Corn maze was open. Food available for purchase. So yummy. All in all a great day. read more

This was my first time coming out here to pick pumpkins after having been to Marana's Pumpkin Patch and Buckelew Farm. I liked the simplicity of this pumpkin patch and all of the produce choices. We didn't have to pay a fee to get in, which was great and there were plenty of wagons and vine cutters to use. You could walk to the pumpkins and as you go you can see all of the peppers and tomatoes they grow as well. There is also a field of sunflowers you can pick as well; one for a dollar, 6 for $5. My daughter loved picking the sunflowers and seeing all of the ladybugs out and about. We found some really good, decently sized pumpkins and the prices for them were very reasonable for what we got. I couldn't remember the exact price for each, but we paid $29 for 2 big pumpkins, 3 little white ones and 3 stalks of sunflowers. We also picked up some salsa and honey sticks too. We had lunch there as well, we tried the grilling stand that was there. They had brisket sandwiches, chicken tenders, and loaded fries. Everything looked good, but the brisket was very stringy, tough and dry. The chicken tenders tasted like your basic frozen tenders deep fried. The fries were good. It was $21 for our meals. Not worth it and I would pass on that part. Everything else was great. read more

My boyfriend and I took a drive down from Phoenix to pick our own fruits and veggies. So worth the trip. So much fun in picking your own food to eat. Can't wait to go back. Everyone who works there is so pleasant, and it's nice to see the young people employed. read more

My family had a great morning at the apple orchard and the wonderful staff there. Then we went to the pumpkins and produce area which was nice until we checked out. The young man, Mel charged me one price $5.00 a zucchini which my daughter really wanted and after I paid another employee walked by and said they were only $2.00 a piece. I asked Mel to double check the price because it made me uncomfortable that the two employees were unsure of the price. He pulled out a book and then sat it on the counter after opening it he turned back to me and said I will check after I help the customers in line, that had filed in behind us. 10 minutes and 4 customers later I asked if he would please check. He told me he would after helping some more people. After another 10 minutes of making my family wait. I told him of my dissapointment and told him i couldnt make my family wait any longer, but that he needed to double check the price before he sells any zucchini to another customer. I felt very put off and under appreciated. Poor customer sevice. read more
