    Inside! Go enjoy!!

    Yes! You need to make it here. This out of approx 8 stops was our favorite! I wish I had this hot link corn dog. But we did have their delicious fried to order doughnuts! Yum! I highly suggest to wait to eat until you get here. I wish we had! Service was great & place is cute!

    This is such a cute little place! Their hot cider is reasonably priced and takes off the chill on a cold autumn morning. However, plan to show up early! I've been here twice, but only hot cider once because they were so busy. There's a lot to look at in their barn but it is not enclosed, so prepare to be exposed to the elements. If you plan accordingly, though, this spot is one of my favorites on the Apple Hill trail.

    This is one of those must-haves when you go to Apple Hill, if you don't mind the lines! Tons of seating as well as grassy areas to bring a blanket. The donuts are a must, ask for them extra crispy/double fried. Unfortunately this was the longest line I've ever seen this year, it took about 40 mins to get through the whole thing. Don't forget to grab a mini jug of apple cider too! They're so cute to reuse but also taste delicious with the warm donuts.

    Rainbow Orchards is a good stop if you just want to sit and relax. You can enjoy the weather or have a nice chat with friends. They have a lovely seating area with a stage and seating right next to the parking area. The vibe was very chill and relaxed. They have a small shop where we were able to get hot and fresh apple cider donuts made to order. They were delicious! On a weekday, they didn't have a lot going on but they do wine tastings on the weekends if that is something you are interested in and we definitely enjoyed a break from our busy day relaxing in the shade of their orchard.

    Rainbow Orchards is a great place to stop for lunch! So many great items on the menu and places to sit outside. Apple cider donut, hot apple cider, and apple crisp were all delicious. The wait wasn't too long and you can see the workers making the donuts in the back.

    Oh warm donuts are so delish!!! Service was great even with a long line. Lots of people enjoying the weather and getting bags of apples and cider with their donuts. Great views of the changing trees!

    Had to come here for the hot apple cider donuts and it did not disappointment!! The line was long but it went pretty fast! You can order 1 donut, 1/2 dozen, or a dozen. They also had caramel apples that you could take to go. Inside the barn, you had the chance to pick up other goodies like jams, jellies, and apples.

    Super friendly biz owners and delicious food! You have to make a stop here when you go to Apple Hill!

    We enjoyed this stop and not going to lie, we came for the apple cider donuts. We were not disappointed at all. These donuts lived up to the hype. Made fresh to order, you can get one or a half dozen or a dozen. I say go for the dozen because you don't want to stand and wait in line again. The purchase line was long and moved kind of slow, but expected as it was a weekday and I'm sure they weren't staff to have people on both registers. The place was busy for a weekday too. Beautiful area right next to Larsen Apple Barn. There is a nice picnic table area surround by trees, lots of parking and a great traffic flow to prevent any back up. Restrooms were nice. On weekends they offer BBQ options. Inside their main area are plenty of apples, cider, soda, apparel, jams, pies, etc for purchase. We'd go back here again even it is just for the donuts.

    A must stop for apple cider donuts! Year after year, we always stop here for apple cider donuts and apple cider. They provide small cups if you want to drink your cider there. The donuts are amazing fresh and the cider tastes like fresh squeeze apples! Plenty of picnic tables to eat at and a clean restroom. Recommend visiting on a weekday to beat the crowds if you can.

    Reddit said this place had the best apple cider donuts in the area, so we had to check it out! The space is super open with plenty of spots to sit and relax--definitely a great place for families with kids. The line for donuts was pretty long (Saturday morning rush!), and it took about 25 minutes to order. We decided to just get a half dozen to try them out... big mistake. We should've gone for at least two dozen! The donuts were perfectly crunchy with the right balance of apple, cinnamon, and spice. They paired so well with the cider we got, which was European-style and on the drier side. Definitely worth the stop--we'll be recommending this place to anyone visiting Apple Hill!

    Our favorite farm at Apple Hill. This place is lovely. It's calm, it's open, they have amazing pies, donuts, apples, cider, and jams. The folks who work here are quick and courteous. The parking can be hard to find, but since most people leave quickly, it's not problematic.

    I've heard great things about the apple cider donuts here, so this was our first stop on a recent trip to Apple Hill! The donuts did not disappoint, they were delicious! They came out hot and fresh and were so soft. Prices were not bad but service was a bit slow since they make them right when you order them. We didn't mind waiting, but we came on a weekday and there was hardly anyone else there; surely they have a faster way to get donuts out when they are much busier on weekends. We enjoyed hanging out on their beautiful property while we ate. We also purchased a bag of pears for later. There's not much to do at this farm compared to others, but it's a nice spot for donuts and a picnic!

    Is it true this orchard is nut-free? Someone on the Spokin App Recommended saying the owner's husband is allergic to nuts and that there are no nuts, and the food is safe for people with nut allergies. Would love a response from the owners.

The friendly demeanor of the apple sampler in the barn cancelled out the bad attitude of the lady who sold us food in the bake shop. Still did not appreciate my friend being talked to like that but I guess that is what happens when the peppy no filter clashes with the grumpy no filter. Anyway, bake shop purchased yummies including veggie dog and pumpkin cookie were both very good, and I appreciated being able to pick up a pint of apple cider to go. They offer many other things at the bake shop such as turnovers, pies, cookies, additional desserts I don't feel like listing, sandwiches, and beverages. The apple barn smelled amazing, and we got to try a bunch of apple slices. I had never tried a mutsu apple or Arkansas black apple before and both were delicious and interesting. Mutsu is a golden delicious bred with a granny smith and the Arkansas black is thicc in texture/skin and sort of has a caramel sweetness to it. We liked sitting outside at the picnic tables and playing PoGo. Thought about heading over to the museum to look around but there was a hat cultist inside so neither of us felt like spoiling our day with that kind of aura iykyk. Maybe next time. You know what they say about one bad apple. Leave it on the ground, the rest will be just fine. Extra parking across the street but be so careful crossing the street. I did not notice any vegan options to confirm either way, but they do have many vegetarian friendly snack and meal options. Prices are reasonable for the area. My veggie dog was $8 and came with chips, and my pint of apple cider was $4.

They said yes and there are still apples on the trees. Which was not really true, we left with 10 tiny apples, 3 of which were from another family that had given up. We walked all sections of the orchard, most apples were on the ground and rotting. I am disappointed that they told me apples were available. They should have said they were open for their small store but not apple picking. We were excited to go and after we discovered almost no apples on the tree I realized I didnt see people leaving with bags and bags of apples. Most were leaving empty handed. The owners are nice, I want to give them business, it seems like they are about to go out of business since things are run down and they only accept cash. I also like how they give kids a apple for their thumb. But please dont stay open for apple picking if there are no apples to pick.

This was on our list to visit so we ended up going here instead, and I'm so glad we did! The owners were very friendly and accommodating. They handed us a map of where to pick apples and where the different types are located, then they pretty much told us to go crazy with picking apples. There weren't many ripe apples at the time we visited, but we still had a wonderful time being there to experience apple picking. The place feels rustic and huge with many apple tree variations to choose from, however, most of the trees were still young so there weren't a lot of shade for adults to hide under. So make sure you wear sunscreen and hats for protection during the day.

Wanting to beat the crowds, we arrived a little before 10 a.m. and found parking quickly after discovering an additional parking lot. I've started a tradition of picking up one glass pumpkin each year, but this time I left with two--thanks to my husband's suggestion. The selection of pumpkins was beautiful, as always. We didn't see the popcorn or the glassblowing demos, though in fairness we may have been too early. Instead, we tried the Pineapple Ginger Hard Cider, which was delicious. Since we didn't want a full pour, we asked about a smaller size. The server showed us a half-glass, which was perfect, but we later realized we'd been charged for a full drink anyway. By the time we left around 10:30, cars were lined up down the road waiting to get into the lot. Parking definitely seemed limited for such a popular event.
