Reviews
Windy Hill Orchard is an absolute treasure, and not even the rain could dampen our spirits during our apple-picking adventure with family.
The atmosphere was lively with music playing, and the apple selection was fantastic. What's more, the charming setup where you pay for the apples also offers delightful treats like hot, fresh cider donuts, fudge, and so much more.
To top it off, there are food trucks for a satisfying meal. It truly is a fantastic place for family fun, and we can't wait to return!
This is our second year at windy hill. In previous years we've gone to Bowman's but we've made the switch to windy hill for various reasons... the prices are fair, the donuts and cider are awesome, and it's not too far away. We were not forced to by a bag based off how large our group is(unlike Bowman's, read their upick stipulations.) Although Bowman's is good, We will definitely be coming back to windy hill.
Only gave 4 stars because they don't accept farmers market checks and the port-a-potties were too gross to use and also didn't lock.
Overall great experience. Everyone had a great time! See you next year.
Best apple orchard! I love it so much. So many parking spots. Love the little market, corn maze, many type of apple to pick. AND its kid and dog- friendly!
Went here yesterday for our 1 year anniversary and it was such a pleasant surprise! They had tons of vendors and booths, a nice and easy process for pick your own apples, the best cider donuts I’ve ever had, and some great homemade cider too. We had a great time!
Been all over the area for apple picking. This place is my new FAVORITE! Well laid out and a lot of extras. Very clean, porta potties everywhere. Excellent signage -better then any other around. Very cool they bring in other vendors - small crafts, food trucks, free kettle corn samples. Handicap accessible, but still a farm and dirt. Great little store as well - more vendors, signs, baked good, apple cider. Prices very reasonable. Lots of open air space. Only side note, Porta potties didn't have hand sanitizers. Lastly, a cool bar and live music. Definitely going back
This place is great and family friendly! We've visited in September for the season (get some warm donuts!) for a live band and food trucks and we've been back for pizza and wings on Fridays and Saturdays during the off-season!
Brothers Todd and Scott and the rest of the family who owns the establishment are incredibly helpful and friendly; you can tell they take great pride in their business. Go for a visit!
This is the place you want to go if you want a very good time for you and your family. There are free bags and a wide variety of apples. You can bring your dog, and they give you free hay rides. I mean, that's fantastic, pay by the pound, very affordable and free parking. They also have live music and local vendors, and lots of different pastries. They were also very efficient in getting their customers through the line. This is definitely a good place to go when you want a good time.
Bucket list item for me. Check. This place was awesome. Had lots of options for picking apples. We went with a first open so it wasn't busy at all. They even had a bar in the back. If you in the area definitely go. Lots of fun
