From First Kiss to Snow Sweet, apples abound from late August through October at Applewood Orchard.
Since it opened to the public in 1999, the family-run orchard has offered apples and seasonal activities each fall, and last year, a new family took over the business.
“When our family discovered that the orchard was available for purchase, we recognized a unique opportunity to integrate into the community and give back,” Riley King says.
The King family bought the orchard in August 2024, and they’ve expanded orchard offerings, opening a greenhouse with flowers, vegetables and herbs in the spring and growing sweet corn in the summer.
Orchard attractions include apple picking, a corn pit, hayrides, a hedge maze and pumpkin picking with live music and food trucks typically available on the weekends. This year, the orchard is also offering a new corn maze, sunflower field and jump pillow for a small fee. Additionally, the orchard store features a variety of apples, baked goods, beverages, jams, jellies, specialty pumpkins, salsas and snacks.
