Open daily May to November · 18545 Co Rd H, Weston, MO
Picked by you, not for you
Off the Branch, Not Off a Truck
Honeycrisp, Fuji, Pink Lady and a dozen more varieties that come ready at different points through the fall. We hand you a bag at the gate, you walk the rows and pick what looks good, and what you pick gets weighed on the way out.
Apple season is the long one here. It opens in August and runs to the end of pumpkin season, which means most weekends between Labor Day and Halloween you can pick apples, ride out to the patch, and eat a cider donut in the same afternoon.

Which Apple, When
Apples do not all come ripe at once. Here is roughly when each variety hits its window, so you can time your trip to the one you actually want.
Windows shift a week or two with the weather. Call (816) 640-4013 or check what's happening before you drive out for a specific variety.
Room to wander
The Rows Go On a While
Seventeen thousand trees across fifty acres, which means nobody is picking over your shoulder. Take the long way, let the kids run ahead, and fill the bag at your own speed.
Warm, and worth the line
Apple Cider Donuts, Made With These Apples
The bakery presses cider from the same fruit you just picked and fries donuts in it all day long. They come out warm, they do not last the drive home, and plenty of people show up for these alone.
