The 2022 harvest season has begun and it’s turning out to be a bumper crop!
Mild weather this spring and summer with just the right amount of rain has provided wonderful conditions for apples. The orchards have already started to open with early favorites like Dudley, Kickapoo Sweet, and Zestar!
Check the listings for updated hours and links to each orchard’s website. If you’re looking for availability for a favorite apple variety or delicious pastry, please give the orchard a call before you go.

Fleming Orchard
I’m a caramel apple connoisseur. I spend days searching out the perfect combination of apple, caramel, and fresh peanuts. Fleming Orchard’s caramel apples are top notch. Try one, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll bet you go back again. And again. And again.
