Apple Picking...

Hey Girls,

Just wondering if you have any suggestions for places to go apple picking, or whether most of the pumpkin farms you had metioned also do apples.

TIA!

Re: Apple Picking...

  • We went to Royal Oak Farm last year and they had pumpkins, but they didn't have a pumpkin patch. I found this website last year and they have a lot of info about the orchards in IL.

  • I go back to Michigan every year to go apple picking. There are some great orchards in the Grand Rapids/Comstock Park area, and the southwestern shore near Fennville/St.Joe/Holland has a ton of U-pick fruit farms.

    Go to www.pickyourown.org/MI to get a list of all the U-pick fruit farms in the state, and narrow it down by region or county. Many farms have more than one crop to pick, which is great.

  • DH and I go to County Line Orchard in Hobart, Indiana every year.  It takes about 40 minutes from the city, a little over an hour from western suburbs.  We've been to other you-pick apple orchards, but this is the best.  If you go, you absolutely have to try their apple spice or pumpkin donuts.
  • There is two that I know of.  One in Maple Park it's called Kieper's,  They have apples, pumpkins and christmas trees.  And then there is Larson's Family Farm in Sandwich/Somounak I know they have apples not sure what else.
