Douglas Hill Orchard is an absolute gem. The views alone are worth the trip--peaceful, quiet, and truly gorgeous. The Lucy family, who own and run the orchard, are incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience feel personal and special.
They offer u-pick apples with several different varieties to choose from, and every tree this 2025 season is loaded with beautiful fruit. There's also a wonderful selection of pumpkins for sale, plus fresh apple cider that pairs perfectly with the crisp fall air.
It's clear this orchard is cared for with love and attention. It's not crowded or commercial--it's family-owned, relaxing, and has the kind of charm you don't find often anymore. I can't wait to start baking apple crisps and pies with what we picked, and the apples are perfect for dipping in maple butter.
If you're looking for a peaceful orchard experience with great fruit, friendly people, and breathtaking views, Douglas Hill is the place. read more
