Apple Hill Farms

Rainbow Orchards – Fresh apples and hot apple cider doughnuts. Pumpkin patch and barbeque weekends in October. Our vote for the most idyllic picnic setting under the apple trees.

El Dorado Orchards – A charming little train, the "Apple Ridge Express," goes around the "cider lakes." A short but sweet ride.

Larson Apple Barn – Worth a stop to sample the marvelous apple turnovers. (Eat them hot, or bring them back to family members stuck at home doing their homework.) Stop into the Larsen Farm Museum and run around in the shade of the oldest apple tree in the county. Picnic tables and nice little creek.

Abel's Apple Acres – Caramel apples, apple slushies, pies, turnovers, gem mining, amazing maze, bakery, barbeque, craft stalls, picnic tables.

Delfino Farms – Take a stroll down the nature trail, a shady walk through the forest along a stream. Check out adorable babydoll sheep (eating apples) and chickens. Apple bake shop, and fresh apples to buy.
