My son's charter school came on a class trip here yesterday and i was a chaperone on the trip. It's a cute little farm with a big hill with dirt and rocks. We headed down to the area to see the animals, Wish they sold food to feed them like most places have. I had $5 in quarters and $10 in singles for this but you couldn't feed them. The play area here for kids is pretty cool. Lots for them to do and play and they could spend hours here but no seating around for adults. After these 2 areas, we picked apples and took photos. The apples here are beautiful ! Then we went on the hayride and had lunch. The hayride was nice and not short or too long of a ride. Just right. There was a beautiful pumpkin area and a shop as well. There were also many porta potties and they were just cleaned when we got there but still sucks no regular restrooms. I liked this location and would def return though i was glad there were no crowds, just us read more

We visited there for the first time about two weeks ago to go peach picking. The hayride was nice, not too bumpy. The picking area is close enough if you're up for a long stroll. They have mini highland cows but we couldn't find them. The orchards are on a very steep hill so I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who has mobility issues. The peaches were phenomenal though. The store is cute and has a lot of food options to purchase. The older woman at the shop was very pleasant. Bathrooms are porta-potty only. This orchard was not as expensive as others around them. We highly recommend ! read more

I think we just visited at a "not-so-good-day". We came by mid September and the place was packed!! too much people was there so it was hard to fully enjoy the place. But i think there was a lot of potential: The pumpkin picking patch was beautiful that both kids and adults enjoyed, they have food options and bbq and they have really good apple cider donuts. The apple picking area is huge and nicely kept with the grass nicely trimmed quite neat. They have farm animals (which we didnt see though) and a tractor ride. But again, it was crowded so it wasnt enjoyable and plus the weather that day was surprisingly hot for a mid september which we didnt really expect. didnt like that there was an entrance fee and we ended up paying though we stayed a very short time. But i feel we would have enjoyed and appreciated the place if it wasnt too crowded and the weather was tolerable. Hopefully if we ever revisit, its a much better experience. read more

Had a fun family day peach picking here in July. The orchards are plentiful, with lots of ripe pickins and fruits that are still growing in. Both yellow and white varieties, though fewer white peaches. The trees in the back have more unpicked ripe fruits. They also have PYO apples, pumpkins, and sunflowers, according to season. Prices are very reasonable: entry is only $3 for age 2 and over, and includes the petting zoo, play area, and a hayride. PYO peaches were $16.99 a bag which is about 10-12 lbs. Sunflowers are $2 per stem, apples are $38 for a half bushel, and pumpkins are $14 each, at current writing. You have to check their website or call to see what's available/in season, but no reservation or advance ticketing is needed like at some other farms. The farm store didn't have a lot of products, just some honey, maple syrup, sauces, dried goods, a few drinks, and apple cider donuts. Bizarrely and funnily, seasonal decorations from Christmas were still up in the summer, so it's like they never bothered to remove/change them. I thought the playground with several play structures (train, pirate ship, tractors, fire truck, little house, barn & silo slide), and the petting zoo with lambs, goats, llamas, pot belly pigs, and more, were great! My kiddo totally enjoyed them and you can kill the better part of a day here. It's more lowkey here than at some of the bigger/more commercial/well-advertised farms, but we really enjoyed the offerings and loved the value and the brilliant fun we had here. read more

Was headed to the winery and decided to pick some apples on the way there . Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try since the website said they also had sunflowers and peaches ( I didn't know ) you could pick your own peaches . The way there was easy however the people who check you in are not exactly very friendly , I felt like I was in boot camp :( , we asked for directions as of where the peach trees were and the directions we got and nothing were the same thing . Very disappointing, so I figured maybe they had signs and I was wrong because not even the apples sections had signs telling you what kind of apples they were and the peach trees were all the way down hill with a very difficult terrain to walk through . At least the peaches were worth getting but most of the experience wasn't exactly what I expected when it comes to customer service not to mention there were also NO sunflowers which was disappointing. The other issue is they have a bunch of portable bathrooms located right next to the picnic tables where people eat , not necessarily where I wanna sit to enjoy my food .. and most of the tables were still in boxes on the ground , it's like no one even bothered to put them together . If you want a better experience maybe just go elsewhere , this place is just to disorganized and Certainly needs a lot of improvements . read more

One of the best apple farms I've been to in the area. Only about an hour and a half from the city, a lot of choices of different apples (which are delicious) and their apple cider donuts are fresh, warm and the most amazing donuts I've ever tasted. I highly recommend this farm! They also have picnic tables to have lunch in and a hay ride that's pretty short but cute. Good for adults and kids alike and their parking is lots of rocks so while it can be dusty, it doesn't get muddy like other places I've been to. read more

Wonderful!! We decided to go Apple picking and after doing some research we decided to come here. The problem was that it was a raining day, but we decided the rain was not a problem at all. When we arrived the parking lot was almost empty. The bag was $40.00 dollars, and the lady gave us the apple map. Huge place with all kinds of different apples, my favorite the galas where at the end of the ochard. It was muddy due to the rain but for that reason the place was almost empty, which was great. They have a petting zoo and a small pumpkin patch. It's a family place, to come here and have a relaxing day. read more

Huge orchard. Went when they still had some peaches so I got to pick apples and peaches. The petting zoo was cute. You can buy the food to feed the animals. There's a shop that sells ready made apple cider donuts and other goods. The apple cider was refreshing and rich. They have a "food truck" that sells amazing bbq. The bbq ribs were so good, they have a smoker in the back and some picnic style table/benches. They take Venmo payment or cash. My phone was not getting any signal to connect to Venmo, luckily my friend had cash! read more

I am in love with Apple Ridge Orchard, pink lady apples!!! they may be my new all-time favorite. I ran in to pick up some apples for baking and when I tasted them, I paired them with white Stilton cheese for an afternoon snack. I will be going back for more. They are delicious. And seriously everyone on the property was so helpful. Dylan helped me find what I was looking for and everyone in the store was super friendly They sell beautiful things. read more

We went apple picking here for the first time and I really liked it. They had alot of apples which was nice and the hayride was great for kids. The animals at the bottom of the hill are great for kids as well as the play area. The only downfall is it is a bit pricey but the experience is great for families. read more

A less crowded and smaller orchard than Maskers, with a small farm shop We got here an hour after they opened on a Saturday and there were only a few cars already there. There were plenty of people directing traffic. It was $30 for a bag and $6 per person to enter. They also had some feed but not sure what animals you're feeding. They had a nice selection of apples (check their website to see what apples are ripe for picking), not excessively big and walkable but you should definitely be mobile. The small store has the usual selection of honey, syrup, jams, kernels and packaged apple cider donuts, but not a lot of goods, not sure if it's because of COVID. read more

Place was packed, they sold some pies and apple ciders in the small shop. There are some picnic benches but not enough for the crowd. Other than apples, there are some pumpkin for picking. Apples mostly gone at this time. read more

Parking was insanity. I expected this but the teenagers handling it were super unhelpful. People got back to their cars and instead of leaving so the dozens of cars looking for parking could park themselves, they literally camped out for a picnic in between their cars. $3 to get in $25 for a SMALL apple picking back - huge red mesh bags last year were a little more expensive but at least twice as big. These small bags are what you can get at the grocery store and typically hold 6-10 apples. I checked their website in advance and so this seemed odd to me. Sure enough, I checked when I got home again and they're advertising 1/2 bushel bags for $34 but the bags they had were 1/4 bushel, aka a peck. For more than half the price. $18 for a dozen donuts. They had no seating for the food you could buy from the food truck (something they had in years past). Really awful. We came here in 2019 and 2020 and had a much different and more positive experience which is why we came all the way back this year. But this year it feels like a money grab and taking advantage of the crowd vs a nice experience. I should have gone back to the other farm I found locally in NJ that charged by the pound and was overall a nicer more humane experience. Know what to expect! read more

The best apple picking in Orange County! Farmer Joe is the best! Apple Cider doughnuts were still warm and delicious. Great selection of apples and pumpkins. read more

I came here in the middle of October in the early afternoon. There wasn't much of a crowd. This was such an adorable farm. It's great for adults and children of all ages. Upon entering the farm, you pay the entry fee along with any other activities that you want to participate in, including apple picking, buying animal food to feed the animal, or just purchasing their goods. The entry fee was $3 per person and you get a wristband. I got the apple bag for $32, which holds around 20-25 larges apples. The animal feed was $1 per cup. Apple Picking: get the green apples! 1) There weren't a lot of apple trees with apples left for picking but I was able to find a few here and there. It was towards the end of the season so I didn't expect to see a lot left but I was still able to fill my apple bag with delicious apples. I prefer the green apples here. It's very delicious. It's even better when it's cold from being in the fridge. It has a very crispy and refreshing texture. Feeding the animals: the bunnies were the cutest! 1) The animals include alpacas, baby goats, goats, ram, bunnies, and a pig. The highlight of the animals was the bunnies that were all the way to the back end of the farm. They were all laying there and waiting for you to feed them. They're very gentle and soft. The same goes for baby goats and alpacas. They just lick the food pellets from your hand. The farm's homemade goods that I purchased: DELICIOUS! 1) I got a cold bottle of apple cider to try and it blew my mind. I've never had such delicious apple cider before. It's not too sugary and was refreshing after a hot day of apple picking. 2) The apple cider doughnuts were amazing. My friends and I kept eating them. I wish I had purchased the bigger box than the box of six. Other goods: 1) The farm has a variety of pumpkins to choose from. They're all laid out on the ground and inside the boxes for you to choose. 2) The farm also has different pies, bread/pancake/waffle mixes, honey and jam. Highly recommend this farm. read more

Great seasonal activities and friendly staff. Every apple variety assorted sales items.

I haven't gone apple picking in over 25 years and was looking for a place to go with the family. It was busy and had to park in the overflow lot down the hill. It felt a little dangerous walking down the road since there aren't any sidewalks but mostly people drive slowly around here. First thing they ask you to sanitize your hands. Of course required to wear a face covering during Covid days. You check in and get a wrist band along with a bag for apples. Be ready to pick a lot of apples because it's only one size! There are a lot of varieties and relatively low to make it easy to pick. The pumpkin patch was really cute with various props to take pictures. Luckily the kids were happy playing there while I ducked into the farm shop. Picked up apple cider, maple syrup, apple butter, kettle corn and the donuts... fresh donuts. I know I've lived in London for 13 years and can't believe I didn't know about this. Amazing - definitely worth the wait on the line. There is a BBQ with hot dogs which we didn't try but there are tables outside if you want to sit down and eat. They don't allow outside food or pets this year. I am looking forward to going back hopefully when things go back to normal at some point. read more

We came here for some early apple picking. No reservations needed but call to check if they're open. When we arrived free parking was available . They have outside restrooms which were well kept. The staff was friendly and informative. They sell to go Apple picking bags and they were about $32 but bags were huge and provided to us. If u just want to taste the apples to enter per person I believe no more than $4 -6 each. They did not have peaches but they did have to go bags for sale $12. Those peaches were so fresh and delicious. We got to try many different type of apples. They also had pumpkins around. This place is great for children as well as they had a farm and a kids small playground. They also had hay rides for under $5 (I believe ) what I enjoyed a lot was the apple cider donuts. They didn't have apple pie but there was Smokey boys BBQ and I got to order a full rack Ans max cheese. The ribs were cooked perfect fell right off the bone And well seasoned we ate every bit. read more

I would never go apple picking at this location again. I brought a bus load of people plus 4 car groups. 60 in all attended this trip. When my charted bus was leaving no one guided him out and he got stuck in the mud. So 1 of the worker's came over and said you know your bus is stuck, why would you try to exit this way. He called my driver all kinds of names. Then his coworker came over and continued to insult my driver calling him stupid. My driver didn't know it was his first time there. Plus the the other school buses were exiting that way. I'll never bring my group back to this location again. Plus no proper bathrooms. Only port -a - pots. No running water for hand washing. read more

My family and I have been going apple for the past 15 years. This orchard is like a gem hidden. We had an awesome time. Didn't realize they had so much to do for the kids.

I'm writing this so people have an accurate view of what they are getting into. This orchard's website has a folksy message saying "No reservation needed. See you on the farm!" What they don't mention is that the farm usually fills up by noon and then they start turning people away. It's something to keep in mind if you're traveling to visit. The orchid itself is nice but it's also worth mentioning that they get thousands of visitors every weekend (according to an employee) so it's very crowded and hard to keep your distance from others. Another issue is that most of the farm's employees are extremely young. They have kids directing traffic who aren't even old enough to drive. It's a little scary. Nothing against these kids who were trying their best, but the staff was very overwhelmed and underprepared to deal with the huge influx of visitors. There was a lack of communication or clear directions from the moment we arrived. The parking lot staff was turning visitors away while the staff at the farm was letting people walk right in. It makes for a very stressful and confusing trip. read more

Wow was all our toddler said as he saw all the pumpkins. We came here before dinner one night to get a pumpkin for our boy. He had so much fun walking thru the rows of pumpkins. We didn't do anything else so I can't really comment on anything else but it was a nice place. We're from long island so prices were amazing here compared to where we live. When in the area we'll definitely be coming back. read more

Pros (1) Fun place to pick apples, pumpkins and other fruits (2) Farm area includes goats, geese, chickens, horses and many many more (3) Only $30 for a bag of apples (you'll be picking them yourself) (4) Dog friendly Cons (1) Come early in the season as some trees were already picked bare (2) Wear shoes you don't care about as you'll be trampling over rotten apples (3) Farm area smells like.. (4) Lots of flies in the eatable gift shop (5) Gift shop's apple juice was probably rotten (6) Porta-potty bathroom was disguising, of course.. read more

We purchased a groupon for pumpkin picking. Which I found to be a great deal. The pumpkins were beautiful, my kids had a blast in all parts- from feeding the animals, to picking apples, to playing through the pumpkin patch. The doughnuts were delicious and still soft and flavorful the next day. Be aware it's cash only. I actually ran out of cash- there was an ATM, but the owner actually gave me a discount because he saw my hesitation when I thought I had to choose between the Apple and peach butter. Everyone was very friendly. I've noticed others post about bees. Although we did see bees, they didn't Bother us. There were plenty of apples and the farm was clean. We go to a new farm each year and this was our favorite. Also good to know- if you want to buy apples- you have to get a whole 20-25lb bag, they don't have smaller options. read more

My family had a blast at Apple Ridge Orchards! This is a very nice pick your own apple orchard, pumpkin patch, and petting zoo. We had a Groupon for a pick your own pumpkin, hayride, apple cider, and a donut. The pick your own was a little disappointing, as they actually mean "pick it out of a pile of pumpkins that have already been harvested" not, pick your own off the vine, which is always way more fun! That being said it's a really nice place with lots of apples to choose from and a really great petting zoo for the kids. I would go back, especially for a really cheap Groupon. read more

Brought my nephews here on a saturday morning. The weather was perfect. We arrived at 10am in order to avoid afternoon crowds..best decision ever. We visited the petting zoo first since there werent a lot of people. The playground and play train is pretty cute. It would be nice if there were some seats here and there for parents. There were quite a lot of apples but they didnt taste that great, perhaps because its october and we're late in the season? Idk. But we did manage to find a couple types of apples that were pretty good. They also have a nice selection of pumpkins. What i didnt really like about this place is that there are sooo MANY hills!!! Its quite uncomfortable and exhausting for small kids. Aside from the hills l think its a really nice place to enjoy with your family. PS they sell cinnamon read more

3 years later, I took advantage of the same Groupon deal and the experience was just as good. The only exception this time was that on a nice Sunday, it was pretty crowded at around 12 PM, so we, along with many others, had to park down the hill (10 minute walk, though hilly) instead of the normal parking lot. Once we arrived, there were lines where you can trade in your Groupon for pumpkin/hayride tickets, apple ciders, donuts and animal feed. It was nice that these items are ready to be distributed which significantly speeds up the process than showing up and buying activities separate. You can then go to the apple orchards and fill your bags up or to the pumpkin patch and retrieve your pumpkins. At least with the Groupon, size didn't matter as you can choose any sized pumpkin you want. I know other placed charge per pound (80ish cents), which can add up when considering a 20 lb pumpkin can add up. The tractor looped around the orchards but there was a little wait (10-15 minutes) during the peak time. The animal feeding area was a down a big hill and had goats and llamas to feed. There is also a pony riding ring there as well, which was about $10./ride. The orchards seems well kept and organized. The store was fairly small and had mostly bottle jams and butters for sale. All staff were nice and helpful. Nice place to snap pics of the family amongst the pumpkins. My experience gives heavy consideration to the Groupon deal. I don't know how much two pumpkins, 2 hayrides, animal feed, 2 donuts, and a bottle of apple cider would cost otherwise, but the Groupon was only $23, which I thought was a great deal, having visited many others orchards in the area. read more
