Wilson's Orchard & Farm

Yes it is pricey. But with that out of the way they have a large selection of fresh items, ciders, pies, and a little gift shop area with some fun items. all of this plus Friendly staff make this a fun place to visit.

What a great place to just come, have a hard cider and sit and chat with friends or family. There are great views of the rolling hills of Iowa, overlooking the apple Orchard, pumpkin patch and berry fields.

Yes, this is a kid friendly place too. While we were there, we watched families pick out a pumpkin and some apples and then watched the kids run up and down the hills.

Just a great place to come and hang out for a couple hours!

Oh, and the fresh baked apple turnovers and doughnuts are awesome!

Great outside fun picking apples we turned into applesauce, exploring how pumpkins grow and then having apple cider donuts after our long walk. Lots of room for families to find their own space to be in. Masks are available when entering the store if you do not have one. Everyone was careful to leave room as people passed while walking and spaced out with plenty of room for a safe afternoon activity

My family and I always enjoyed Wilson's orchard. Its a great place for apple/strawberry picking as well as having a nice walk and taking great pictures. However, last visit today i got annoyed by several things:

First of all, i brought my own containers for apple picking and didn't weight them before. So at the registry i asked a guy if he could weight apples in a bag that they provide instead of my containers since they were plastic and were contributing to a total weight. His response was something along these lines: "Dude, all you are saving is few cents. Just forget about it, we are too busy now". Well, it was not few cents, it was 1.5 lbs of just containers weight, which is $3.75. I mean, i will not go broke because of it, but honestly you should respect your customers more and if they ask you nicely to give an exact weight, please do that.

Also, it hurt my eye to see so many apples laying under the trees, there were thousands of pounds wasted in this garden. I don't know if Wilson's orchard is under staffed now, but they have more apples than visitors can pick. Maybe if you would not price your apples so high more people would come for picking and you would not waste them so much.

Honeycrisp Weekend!!! Love! Love! Love this place. So Beautiful and open. Fun exercise for the family or just a stroll to take a load off. The fresh, delicious apple turnovers and donuts, slushies and cider are worth every trip!! The pulled pork and mac-n-cheese are good too.
