We had the best time ever! Lots to see and do for all ages, absolutely gorgeous scenery, live music, and the BEST donuts! We will be gladly making the trip from Wisconsin again next year ❤️

My partner and I have gone for the past two years and it is always so much fun! The staff are always nice and there is plenty to do! There is apple picking and a pumpkin patch. My partner and I were there for a full three hours and was a great getaway from the city.

We arrived expecting a peaceful fall outing, but what we found was a massive, bustling agritourism monster — and honestly, it can feel chaotic. The place is huge, and there’s no denying it gets very busy. Right from the start, the lack of clear signage made us scratch our heads: we pulled up to the entrance gate with zero idea where to go. Everyone was lining up on the right side, so we dutifully joined them — only to find ourselves stuck for a good 20 minutes before we finally ended up inside the gift shop. That’s where we realized: why in the world isn’t there a huge sign saying “Apple Picking on Left / Gift Shop on Right”? Even when we finally decided to head left toward the orchard, we had to stop multiple times and ask random staff or visitors, because nothing else guided you. It was aggravating, and I felt the mis-management of traffic flow and guest routing was a serious oversight. That said, once inside, the store is delightful — it’s packed with high quality goods, adorable décor, seasonal treats, and plenty of tempting things to buy. But the high price for apple picking (we paid $49) left me doing mental math about whether the experience justified it. In many ways, the only thing that kept the day from being a total frustration was the staff. The people working there were extremely nice — they helped us with every small issue we had, offered directions, answered questions cheerfully, and tried to smooth out the confusion as much as possible. Big kudos to them. So in short: a beautiful place with lovely products and wonderful staff, but the visitor experience needs serious improvement in signage and organization before I’d strongly recommend it without reservation.

Hands down the best spot for apple cider donuts. I’m obsessed! Took a tractor ride through the apple trees. You can feed animals and they have a playground for the kids. Their shop is full of unique goodies, too. Definitely a must-visit in the fall!

My yearly trek to Edwards Apple Orchard was lovely. It's been a family tradition since 1977. We were too early for lunch in the Cider Cellar but we were happy to have a breakfast of apple pie with ice cream and hot cider. Shopping was fab in the Farm Market, with old favs like cider donuts, apple cinnamon BBQ Sauce, variety of soups, and honey. Got a new favorite - Apple Salsa. Sorry no photo of that, as it was devoured as soon as we got home. I drive 3 hours one way to get to Edwards. It's well worth my time, no matter what the weather is like. Many Thanks to the Edwards Family. Oh, and yes, Scout got a tasty dog treat for the ride home.
