They have others too but they were mostly picked over already as the empires had just at been opened up for picking. Mostly I was happy to get out to Wisconsin away from the boring Chicago Southwest suburbs, into less populated areas. I made a pie with some of the apples and it was really good.

Swan's Pumpkin Farm: This local gem of a pumpkin patch was founded in 1976 by Ken Swan, making 2026…read moreits 50th anniversary. For me, Swan's is synonymous with pumpkins because as early as kindergarten, we'd make an annual pilgrimage to the farm as a class trip. A lot has changed since my frequent visits in the 1990's, but the core elements of what makes this quintessential pumpkin farm special are mostly intact. It is still geared towards families with plenty to do for young kids, such as a petting zoo, hayrides, pumpkin jump pad (like a bounce house), and the Witch Hollow Corn Maze. There's also a 9-acre Corn City Maze for older kids and adults, which other than the 50th anniversary, was my main reason for checking out my favorite pumpkin farm after a long hiatus. Tickets cost $7 and I was informed that it takes approximately one hour to complete, so ticket sales stop at 5pm, which is one hour prior to the farm's closing time. I moved at a leisurely pace and was unencumbered by small children. That said, it took me approximately 30 minutes to complete. This was a little disappointing as I did a maze last fall at another Racine County farm (Borzynski's) and that took 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete. I thought Swan's maze was a neat experience, and it gave me a nice touch of nostalgia as I fondly remember corn mazes from my childhood. I recommend checking it out, but I think it would be challenging to do with young children that require a stroller as the ground is obviously dirt and not even. My only other complaint is that I remember when I was a kid, Corn City wasn't a maze, but a short loop through the cornfield that featured "citizens" that were mockups of celebrities but with painted pumpkins on a stuffed body (sort of like a scarecrow). Swan's website actually still lists this as a thing, but I didn't see it. I think it would have been cool if they would have placed some of the citizens as exhibits in a few of the dead ends in the maze. Just sort of a missed opportunity in my opinion. Additionally, there's obviously pumpkins for sale ($0.40/pound), snacks, and a small shop. There is also no fee for parking or entering the farm, so head on over and make some memories with your kids this fall. Who knows, maybe one day they'll be writing about it like me, for the 75th anniversary. Three stars for the maze (should be longer for $7) and five stars for the farm, four stars overall.

Overall a disappointing experience for us. We came here on a Thursday around 11:30. Parking was a bit of a hot mess, people just parked anyway and whatever way, taking up two spots at a time. The first thing we did was try the restaurant which I've heard great reviews and was super excited to try. We were seated right away, we had to swap out 2 highchair before we got one that the clip wasn't broken on so my daughter can be strapped in. The waitress took our drink orders right away, came back with them & cake of some sort 10-15 minutes later ( not that busy to take that long). We placed our orders and asked for some water for the table. Took another maybe 25 minutes to drop off my moms lunch and daughters lunch, she said she would be right back with mine ( I ordered soup) and I remaindered her about water again. The next time we see the waitress another 20-25 mins later she asks how the meal was... I still hadn't received mine or water! I asked her to please remove the soup from the bill and that I would pass because we wanted to go apple picking and see the orchard before my daughters nap time came around (service was slow). She was nice and apologized and said she had just finished warming my soup in the microwave- I was a bit confused but let it go. My mom said her sandwich was good and her soup was a bit salty but overall good. We paid and went to get admission tickets for the orchard. For a what they call a "large" bag but isn't really large it's $30 and each person must have a bag to pick apples. Basically it seemed like for 2 of us it would be $60 bucks for maybe 20 apples total assuming we wouldn't pick the smallest ones out there which to me seemed very pricy. We passed on apple picking and got just the play space passes so my daughter could run around a bit before heading home. She had fun feeding the goats, saw pigs, horses and chickens that she enjoyed. We waited for the 1pm pig race but it never happened. My mom and daughter went down the bean Stalk slide and my moms jacket got caught on a screw sticking out of the slide and ripped her jacket! The slides and children's activities didn't seem like the safest and it's probably why they had a lot of signage that said go at your own risk. There were also a lot of bigger kids there on what seemed like a field trip that were just not very careful with the other little kids around that weren't part of the field trip groups. I understand it's obviously not something the apple hollar can control but I was beyond annoyed or maybe I was just hangry but we will not be returning. read more

Went to apple hollar on Monday 9/12/11@ 11:45 AM after getting their wonderful emails telling me that they are now picking Honey Crisp apples those are my families favorites.....went in to eat and the food was GOOD.....service was terrible........bathrooms need bleach and a steam cleaning.........dining room very hot and smelled dirty. The bathrooms were hot and smelled of urine...my wife came out holding her nose and I tried to hold my breath the entire time while using the bathroom. the waitress acted as if she was afraid of us the entire time we had to ask for everything from a distance. but the food was good. we bought over $100.00 of baked goods and caramel apples which took an hour for them to get together (very slow and inexperienced staff) our lunch was over $100.00 and then we proceeded to get our Honey Crisp apples, we paid the admission to the Kidde park and the asked the ticket taker where the Honey Crisp apples were at he said the honey what, he had no clue what i was talking about then he pointed north then south and then said over there......we walked "over there" and there were a few bruised and fly laden apples on a table about 10 apples in all. we went back and asked again Maybe in that building he said well the building was locked. Then we say the numerous signs selling the 99 cent ice cream cones well we went into the ice cream place and guess what out of ice cream! then we saw the door open to the building that maybe had the apples in it, we walked in only to be told the store was closed, then waited 10 minutes for 6 bottles of water in the ice cream store that was out of ice cream. If you want apples get yours at Woodman's use their bathroom and then go to apple holler to eat a good meal and buy the caramel apples and baked goods ....little kids will like the kids area but allot needs to be done to make this place a destination. WAKE UP APPLE HOLLAR YOU HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL BUT YOU ARE BLOWING IT. By the way the caramel apples are the best I have eaten and the packaging is great, the rest of your operation needs to match the caramel apples. read more

Horrible. Terrible. horrendous. Awful. Shocking. Disappointing. I wish I could come up with more words for just plain upsetting. My family and I have been coming to apple holler for 13 years. We always rented out a picnic area. This year however there was only 11 of us going to the orchard today (9/27/14), we had to pay $20 for a lunch box size bag of apples. That was ridiculous, the prices almost tripled. My family had to pay a colossal amount of money for about 8 apples each. The facility was a disaster. The port-a-potty was a mess there was toilet tissue and hand tissue every where. I waited until we could find a restaurant to go to the bathroom. The staff was not friendly at all. When my family and I reached the counter to purchase our outrageously expensive pint size apple bags the attendant was not very nice and had no customer service. She simply told us the prices. I asked about the total price or what would be the best deal for all of us (not everyone was there yet) she simply pointed to the number on the paper and repeated the price. It was very difficult to walk around with a stroller because we were not allowed on the hay ride. My family and I are disgusted with this facility and the lack of care for customers. Four generations of my family was there today. The only part of this experience today that sets my mind at ease is that my daughter will not remember her first orchard trip because this orchard is despicable. This will be our last year going to apple holler we can find another orchard that will gladly take the 20-35 people that usually go with us each year. I would NEVER recommend this orchard to anyone again. read more

*****POISON IVY!!!!!****** POISON IVY!!!!!******* POISON IVY!!!!!****** BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE My wife and I took our daughter there, keep in mind she is 2, and along with other which totalled 12 people. It was a great time but when we got to the Fuji apple are my daughter kept complaining about her leg hurting at the time I figured she just wanted me to pick her, but I did not want her to think we can always pick her up. Just before we left that area I notice a rash on her leg. NO SHE DID NOT COME TO THE ORCHARD WITH THIS. I picked her up from that point on and figured it was just from the grass she probably just had a reaction. The next day the rash got even worse and spread across her lower part of her leg and upper inner thigh. My baby was in pain and said it itched horribly! For 4 nights she couldn't sleep which meant bad nights for my wife and I as well. We contacted the owners the just a couple days later, first they took 3 days to contact us back, said that wasn't on their property and would do nothing!!!! So beware this place has gotten greedy with money I can't believe he said that a 2 year old probably got confused, on and to top it off his first question wasn't even how was she or is she alright, it was DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO LOOK FOR POISON IVY?

My wife and I dined at Apple Holler for dinner on a Saturday night recently and then we stopped for breakfast on the way back from the Milwaukee Airport on a Monday. Dinner was delicious and the server ( Jayne ) was fabulous attending to our every dining need. We liked the option of hot apple cider or coffee. The corn bread appetizer was good but the apple fritters were super. I thought the pot roast dinner was a little pricey at $10.95 but my wife's selection of AYCE soup and salad for $6.99 was a better bargain and she thought it was great. When we stopped for breakfast I had the bottomless blueberry pancakes for $3.99 which were thin golden brown pancakes served with an ample helping of what tasted like a blueberry pie filling on top. I was told by Jayne that they were Michigan blueberries. Great tasting and very filling. My wife had loaded hashbrown potatoes ( hashbrowns with onions, peppers, mushrooms and her choice of cheese). We enjoyed our breakfast very much and the service was again superior. We will dine here again. The only comment I have that resembles a complaint is that they pave the gravel driveway and parking lot. It's very bumpy and a "mudhole" this time of year. Vic G. read more

I have traveled many places in my life and I have yet to find a place and unique as this was. I was enchanted by the decor and the staff. I can't believe how nice everybody was. I can't wait to go back. The food was just delicious. I can see why there are crowds of people flocking to this destination. The nice part is once you are in the grounds the crowds are not so thick because there is so much space to spread out and be in nature. I have read some of the other reviews and I am not sure about the expenses they are talking about I found everything to be reasonable. I think those are the type of people that are looking for everything to be free. Sorry not in this lifetime. The prices I found are very inclusive so I did not have to think about having to go back and purchase more and more tickets - i like it. 1 stop and I am ready to have fun with the family for the day. I too had to pay for parking but there was parking for free available I chose to park where I knew my vehicle was secure - guess what I got a coupon to come back too! I will defiantly be back very soon. I love this place! read more

Ive been to Apple Holler only a few times, but everytime ive gone its been great. The most recent time We had a wonderful waitress that made the experience one of the best I've ever had in a restaurant. The food was amazing as well. But as any one knows food is not the only thing that makes a restuarant. All the employees we friendly and quick to show how welcome you are in their store and restaurant. outside of the store/restaurant is the orchard and children's area. feeding the goats, pigs, bunnies, and chickens is always fun. there is plenty of stuff to do outside. unfortunately i didnt go while the trees had apples on them. as i seen many people comment that they dont have apples on them. but i have to wonder what time of the year they went? i know it was still too early for them. other than that. did they wait til it was too late in the year? i bet they were all picked. i can't wait to go when everything is ripe and ready. read more

Not sure what all of the other not so nice reviews were about. My Family (4) and I were there this weekend and I found the pricing to be better than average. I got to pick 25 pounds of apples for the $45 package. Which when you do the math that is only $11 per person or $1.80 per pound of apples - I would say GREAT DEAL plus..... We got to ride on a tractor hay wagon, my kids were able to play ALL day in a wonderful play area. We did have to pay for parking but there was free parking along the street available for everyone but we chose to not walk and pay the $5 for parking which was well worth it. Plus I got a coupon to come back for for double that just for parking!!! The food was fantastic - gotta love the Hot Cider and the the Cider Donuts. Now I just have to figure out what to do with all of these wonderful apples we picked on a fantastic fall day at Apple Holler.. We can't wait to go back! read more

Apple Holler NEVER fails to be a 5 START restaurant! One word sums up Apple Holler -EXCELLENT! Excellent Service, Excellent Food, Excellent Value, Excellent overall experience. I stop here as often as I can and I am NEVER disappointed. My last stop was at breakfast time and I had the Prime Rib and eggs. OMG - a very nice slice of Prime Rib that was fork tented. I normally just let the meat speak for itself, but on this day I tried their (homemade) steak sauce. If you like a steak sauce you need to try Apple Holler's steak sauce - like everything from Apple Holler you wouldn't be disappointed.

(This review is based on the restaurant!) I had an okay experience at Apple Holler. I loved the actual place itself, like picking apples and the small petting zoo, but I was not too fond with the restaurant. I ordered an Avocado Bacon Omelette with a side of fruit, my mother ordered a French toast with cherries. Although the staff were very courteous, the food was not very delightful. My omelette was barely cooked and there was an excessive amount of cheese. The plating was not very great also. I could not eat much the fruit as they tasted very strange and rotten. I did however like the price range and the amount you get, although it may seem too large! I have overall had an amazing experience picking apples, but had not too good of a meal. read more

I ordered two pies for mothers day and messed up on the pick up date. I wanted to pick it up on Saturday but scheduled it for Sunday. They were very understanding and offered to make the pies, I left and came back after the time they said the pies would be ready. When they brought the coconut cream pie out they made sure to let me know that the filling was still a little warm which would make the cream a little runny and not look perfect. The pie looked great and tasted even better. My mother was very happy with both pies and said it was the best coconut cream pie she has ever had. read more

The Friday fish fry is really great. Every time we go there we have the deep fried pickles and ranch dressing and it is sooooo delicious. Since you can pick the sides of your meal, the grandma's salad has so many little "extras" like cranberries and sliced egg besides the regular veggies.

In the fall, Pearce's turns into a magical wonderland. Last year, our daughter (who had just turned two) remembered every single detail from our visits--so much so that returning in 2025 was a top priority as soon as they opened for the season! We also really appreciate the farm's $3 "ugly" or overstock veggie bags--a great way to get fresh produce at an amazing value while cutting down on food waste. It's thoughtful touches like this that make Pearce's a favorite not just for the fun, but for the values behind it. If you're looking for a place to make lasting family memories, enjoy local food, and support a fantastic small business, Pearce's Farm Stand is a must-visit. We're already counting down to our next trip!

We checked out the restaurant after and there weren't any GF options. I did get the orange cream soda and it was delicious. The bakery indicated the taffy apples were GF so I grabbed one and it was really good. They also mentioned they have GF donuts but were sold out. I wish they had more in stock to try. I also bought apple cider and it was good too.

The restaurant itself is so cute inside and has such a warm, cozy, homey feel. Everyone is always incredibly nice whenever we come in. I usually order to-go, and since I'm often there with my kids, I'll place the order and then go back outside to wait in the car. Every single time, without me even asking, they bring my coffee out to me while I wait. Then, as soon as the food is ready, they bring that out too. It's such a small thing, but those little touches really make a difference. They genuinely take care of their customers, and it makes every visit such a great experience. We commonly get the French toast breakfast sandwich, bagel breakfast sandwiches, and pancakes. We've also tried the brisket sandwich, BLT, and cheeseburger -- and everything has been delicious and made fresh. One thing that really stands out to me is the bread. You can completely ruin a sandwich with bad bread, but they always get it right! Highly recommend giving this place a try -- it's definitely become one of our favorites!

It felt like the menu was created just for me, with a selection of specialty flavored pancakes and a whole bunch of specialty lattes. I couldn't resist ordering the campfire pancakes (topped with a whole toasted marshmallow, of course!) and an iced mocha latte. The pancakes were delicious, but they were very thick, and with the chocolate drizzle, marshmallow, and graham cracker crumbles on top, it was too filling and I couldn't finish all of it. I loved my iced mocha, especially because of the perfect balance of flavors. The coffee didn't overpower the chocolate, but it didn't just taste like chocolate milk. The service at Maple Table was great--our waitress was so friendly, and even though it was pretty busy when we went, we didn't have to wait long for our food. My reason for taking off a star is because I really wanted to try the signature house donuts, but when we arrived at around 10am, our waitress told us that they were already sold out of all the donuts. That was really not the end of the world though, and my breakfast was still delicious regardless!

My salad was sub par. Spring greens and spinach plopped from a bag with a small smattering of peas and maybe one cut up piece of asparagus and some tiny chunks of a good goat cheese topped with too much crunchy quiñoa and a dressing that was overwhelmingly vinegary. The freshly brewed coffee was nothing special but did keep flowing nicely. The gift shop had so much to browse through. Prices from a couple dollars to $100+ and staff that is helpful but not in your face or pushy in any way I could've asked for a different dressing but again thr salad itself was only ok for the ~$13 price tag
