Consider this place worth the drive. You will not be disappointed. I arrived at my destination…read moreabout 2 hours before they closed for the day on a Sunday. I parked in the lot and it was packed with cars. Next, you have to go inside the store barn and get a bucket for apple picking. The Carmel apples were all sold out as well as the apple cider popsicles and the apple cider fridge looked a little bare. I read the other reviews from my fellow yelpers that mentioned the amazing apple cider, so I knew I had to get some before that was sold out too. I grabbed the next to last gallon of apple cider (or so I thought) and put it in my car before I even started apple picking. This place has a front Orchard and a back Orchard. Honestly, I didn't even see the front Orchard until I was already done apple picking. The best way to get to the back Orchard is to take the tractor wagon/hayride. I waited about 15 minutes and the tractor arrived, but it filled up to capacity real quick. So me and the kiddos decided to walk it out. Know that if you are walking to the back Orchard, you will bypass a stream and walk a couple of hills on the way. The best way to not get overwhelmed by the types of apples is to know which ones you came to pick. My favorite apples (gala, honeycrisp, Fuji) were not available for u-pick. So, I was left to just try the types of apples and find the perfect fit for my pick. Yes, you can try an apple or two. Most of the apple rows are labeled with the types of apples. There were pear trees too, but I didn't see any pears because they were all picked out. FYI's: Watch out for the muddy puddles. Wear boots or appropriate shoes. Ask for the apple picker tool. They did refill the apple cider fridge as I was checking out. The u-pick apples were 85 cent a pound. The apple cider is sweet, fresh and the best around. My favorite apples were the golden delicious.

I've taken various friends with me over the years. With COVID this year, you weren't allowed to bring your own bucket, but this was ok because I usually buy their boxes anyway. I like that I can use them and recycle them. Earlier this week, I spent about 2 hours picking strawberries and walked out with about 17 pounds. I was able to make jam & jelly, as well as save some berries to go with strawberry shortcake. The prices are reasonable at $2.95/pound for pick your own and $5.75/container of pre-picked berries.

Today's strawberries were on the smaller side but still sweet. Gathered up over four pounds of berries to make fun concoctions, mostly jelly. Since this wasn't the start of picking season it took about five mins for me to really find some that were worth pulling. In my experience, many were along the irrigation pipes, and the larger ones were covered (shades) with thick green leaves. Tip: Contact or follow the farms social media for key picking times and confirm picking is available before you make the hike to the area.

While they don't have an indoor restroom, I was grateful to find they had a very clean port-a-potty. Because that was the very first thing my toddler asked to do! This place is adorable! Their little house where you get your basket and then pay is so sweet!! There are chairs out front by beautiful flowers (talk about perfect for a picture). They provide small wooden baskets that hold two empty cardboard pints. The nice boy at the counter explained what was growing where and we were on our way! We came at a time where blackberries and raspberries were available. I have to say that things were pretty picked over on this particular day - while the bushes were decently loaded with berries, most of them were green. While I enjoyed the hunt this provided, my toddler eventually lost interest. Go figure. We ended up with one pint of blackberries. We visited the raspberry bushes, but there were literally only a handful left. They'd run out over the weekend, so that why we visited on a Wednesday. So make sure you check their facebook page or call ahead in case they close early.

There are about 30 rows, two sided, full of blueberry bushes with so many berries, it didn't feel crowded at all. They also sell by the pint, we did the math and the price is the same. Would recommend the experience and taking the time to do something different and pick them yourself. The berries are so good, we've been enjoying eating them daily and are almost out already! I made a blueberry coffee cake that turned out amazing too. Hope to return this season!

But please don't advertise all your food and drink options if it's never going to be open or an employee around to check you out. Nothing like your toddler melting down because they want a juice and you can't find a way to pay for it.
