    Chicken tenders

    This has always been my favorite orchard to do apple picking, pick up some donuts and apple cider and do some fun fall activities. Technically, my friends and I came here towards the end of summer. They still had some apples to pick and no pumpkins, which was fine for us. They had some great apples for baking. We had a lunch there with some average food and did some activities around the orchard. Their market in particular is great! They have so many good deals on veggies and other goods. Their bread was sold out by mid-afternoon. For anyone looking for a fun time doing fall activities, I highly suggest this orchard!

    We went to Butler's Orchard for their Pumpkin Festival and had the most amazing afternoon. What a fun day for kids. The Pumpkin Festival cost $20 per person (even kids 2 and up have to pay) to enter, and everything to eat cost money so it does get expensive. We spent about $200 over 2 hrs here, just with lunch and few things to take home. It was so fun though. There were tons of things for my toddler to do from play equipment, a corn pool, corn maze, giant trampoline bouncy pad, animals, hay rides, face painting and more. We had BBQ food for lunch which was fresh and super tasty. I got their fresh made on the spot kettle corn which was probably the best kettle corn I've ever had! At the end of the day, we went raspberry picking. You can also pick your own apples and pumpkins too. Everything is an extra cost. Picking raspberries cost $6 for the container, you also have to pay an entrance fee to go pick them too if you didn't already pay for the pumpkin festival wrist bands... worth it though! I would definitely come back!

    I've been to Butler's Orchard several times and they always have fun activities for family and kids throughout the year, or even for dates or gatherings. This is my second time strawberry picking here. Today they had festivities to celebrate their 75th anniversary. No reservations needed this weekend, but usually you'll need to reserve in advance. We got two 6 quart containers for $6 each and I donned my strawberry shirt and earrings for the occasion and photo ops! It did get very hot and I recommend long pants because the leaves got itchy around the legs! No admission fees and very reasonable prices, plus tons of free activities and play areas for kids! The staff were also great and friendly. In the fall, they open up the fields for bonfires at night and you can bring your own food and drinks and they'll include firewood that'll burn for about 2 hours. I went once to celebrate a friend's birthday.

    Such a fabulous Orchard! This place is huge and a full day is needed to complete most activities. From Apple picking, to corn mazes. Pumpkin patch to hay rides, petting zoo to all of the delicious foods they have, this place is a top pic for being in the area for fall. I cant wait to go back next year. Their appple cider donuts are to die for! And their kettle corn is pure heaven! Also you gotta try a spiked cider to wash it all down. Highly recommend for you and the family or a loved one.

    Great family friendly place. Very expansive with lots of activities for the kids such as tractor pull, animals, corn maze, and many other things. Food and market store on the premises.

    My first fall activity of the season was a success! Me and my co workers came on a Saturday afternoon. They are very popular so I highly recommend buying your tickets online atleast a day or a few days ahead of time. For the weekends it is $20 to buy a ticket online. Then when you come you get a wristband. Parking is free and depending on what you want to do, you can park near the market or the pumpkin festival. Very family friendly but prepare to spend money on food or desserts. I spent around $15 on an apple cider slushie, 1 apple cider donut, & a chicken tender basket with fries. Overall I had a great time and there's so much you can do here from the market, to a petting zoo, to a corn maze, to hay rides to picking strawberries. I would definitely come back !!

    I was in the neighborhood and decided to visit this spot. I saw they were having an Apple Festival, but I just wanted to visit their store (it was my first time in the store even though I have been to Butler's Orchard many times in the past). They have so many things inside that makes you want to try a little of everything. Near the back I noticed crates of apples with samples for each - I like that. I tried some of the samples but not all of them. Here are the ones I liked: Honeycrisp, Ludacrisp, Snapdragon, and FyreFly. Love the names and I enjoyed the crisp tastes as well. I purchased just a few as these were premium apples. I definitely could not leave without getting some of their apple cider donuts (I have had them before, so I know how good they are). I knew they would not last for the week - once you had one yourself, you will understand. I saw other things that I wanted to try, but held off until my next trip to the store. Visited November 2024

    There's always something to pick at this farm. A few days ago, the blackberries were perfect for picking. They have parking at area that you want to visit so you don't have to walk so much. I got a small container to pick blackberries and it was perfect amount for me. Definitely stop by the store before you go. I got a big bag of kettle corn, Virgina peanuts, honey sticks, Doc Waters cider. They have so many cute things at the store too! They also have chickens, roosters, sheep, donkey, pigs, and goats to hang out with. The goats have holes in the fence if you want to pet them. A very cool farm!

    Pick your own is cheap and fun! It's a cute lil date idea, and the market is also very cute and has a bunch of different good options. Will definitely be back!

    Pies are nice, and they have a good variety (some are sugar free)!

    Apple picking is a pretty fun family activity and Butler's has a nice variety of apples from which to pick...but they're expensive! To pick a peck of apples will cost you $28.00 plus $4.00 per person to pick them. So for a family of 3, a peck of pick-your-own apples cost ($40.00). However, if you go to their own farm store (which is nice and filled with things they grow...and things they don't), a peck of pre-picked apples will cost $17.99 ($18.00)! More reasonably, a bag of "kettle corn" will cost $8.00, and a jar of apricot preserve costs $6.99 ($7.00). We left there with a smile because they do have some "included" activities, like a few old-fashion slides (with burlap bags) and two small "tractor pulls" which were fun. Again, picking apples is fun, getting taken for a ride (not a hay ride either), is less fun!

    I enjoyed visiting Butler's Orchard Pumpkin Festival with my family. The baby changing house was a big help super convenient for parents! The festival is quite spread out, which is nice for exploring, but it's also very hilly, so be prepared for some walking. They have a really good pumpkin selection, which made picking one extra fun. I loved the crab corn soup. The apple cider donut was a bit dry, though, and the apple cider drinks were on the small side for the price. Overall, it's a fun family spot with plenty of activities and great pumpkins, but be ready for the hills!

    The Cutest Fall Festival Butlers orchard continues to impress me with their yearly improvements and attractions. At $19.95 a pop it is well worth the trip if you don't mind driving a bit. I visited in Spring 2022 and since they've updated their location to add: New castle like play areas (pictured) which was previous just a train that kids could go in and out of. A corn pool An additional jump pad for kids 40" and under. A cider bar w/alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages Despite the amount or cars you see in the parking lot it there's never a sense of overcrowding or waiting for attractions. My kids probably have maxed out here but for kids 8 and under this is the perfect place.

I don't see a single employee from the older times. It's all new, bottom level workforce. If you want to work here the bar is on the floor! I have started driving a few blocks down to Wegmans - the produce is better and you don't have to fight their employees to get to the aisles. I'd avoid!

They also have multiple fridges and freezers full of every sort of beef and pork that you could probably name off the top of your head. I've picked up tomatoes there, onions, cucumbers, corn, and the last time I went I got a frozen four park of raw hamburger patties. They also have a wide array of jams, preserves, and pickled goods. Customer service has been efficient. The market itself is not huge at all, but they make ample use of the space. Like I said, outside of the weirdly expensive breads/rolls I think their prices are generally fair. And it's on the way to and from my ceramics class which is super convenient.

My family has tried various online "fresh food" companies, pre-made meal, you name it and they were just ok... usually the food did not last and was mediocre at best. We love our local famers market but even with our good intentions, we rarely made it on time. When my hubs stumbled upon FTF I was skeptical but really liked the idea of delivery, subscriptions and ala cart options and loved supporting our local farmers and businesses so we gave it a try. Here we are two yrs later and we still LOVE it! The fruits and veggies are so fresh that they typically arrive still covered in soil... this is actually our families favorite part! After about 6 months of receiving the subscriptions, we started ordering ala cart items and for the last year or so we've been getting about 75% of our weekly food from FTF. The meats, bakery, dairy and pantry items are all great! FTF is also not like a CSA where you tend to get the same items week after week. They have variety and this makes it fun for the whole family. We've received items that either we would never have chosen or had never eaten and we love it. If you are a meal planner than FTF is a wonderful option bc you get an email of the items that will come the following week and you have plenty of time to plan accordingly. The recipes and storage tips they provide are a great touch too. If you are traveling then it's super easy to suspend the service for as long as needed. Now, are they perfect, no however they do a darn good job fixing mistakes and are quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Sometimes there are missing or unavailable items and we will either receive a credit for or will get a little extra of another item. Personally, we would rather get that credit or extra item then a subpar product that would end up in the trash. There is a lot of talk in the reviews about the surprise email halting delivery to re-vamp and let me tell you, we were SAD... so sad but they worked hard to get back online and we were super excited to receive an email a week later announcing they were back up and running. Dealing with the logistics of fresh foods and delivery to the (very large) Balt-Wash area can not be easy, fresh food is very temperamental. The best part of it all... our 5yo son gets super excited to see the "red bags" on our front porch every week and he's learning about fresh foods and how important it is to support our local farmers. Thank you FTF! Keep it up :)

There was only one size of share I could obtain and I had to be able to pick up the produce every week at the designated location during a specific time window. When they included anything I did not care for my only choice was to skip that week. With FTF I can choose a size that fits my lifestyle and my bag of produce is at my door step when I wake up in the morning of my delivery. And the FTF membership works all year long, so I continue to receive deliveries for every season. Everything is packed carefully and the produce is as clean as you would find it at the supermarket. Whenever they have planned to include something I do not wish to have, I can ask for a substitution. And I can even expand the delivery whenever I wish for something more by purchasing additional items in their marketplace. I have been with this service now for over three years and have seen them grow and try new things, always willing to correct whatever does not work well. The customer service has always been very responsive to me. I could not be happier and have recommended this service over and over to anyone who is interested in eating local and organic. I actually enjoy cooking and coming up with my own dishes based on whatever I receive, but FTF has also begun an option that gives you the ingredients for a recipe (kind of like Blue Apron, I suppose). They continue to expand their products offerings, truly growing into having something for everybody. I am happy to have been there from close to the start and have enjoyed seeing all the improvements. I don't wish to ever go without it.
