2025 Orchard Season 

Orchard entrance

We will open for the season late August/early September. Stay tuned for updates as the season progresses

Hours (in season)

  • Open Tuesday-Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm
  • Closed Mondays
    • Except we will be open on Labor Day as well as Columbus Day

Cost

  • Entry fee $6/person
  • Kiddos under 2 are free
  • Pick your own apples & pumpkins sold by the pound.
  • U-pick flowers – purchase your vase and fill with vibrant blooms
  • Pre-picked apples & pumpkins also available in-season. If you are looking for a bushel or more of apples, please call ahead so we can have them ready for you
  • Weekends, lots of good stuff in the Apple Barn – donuts, sandwiches, cider slush, jams/jellies, fall candles, and other goodies

Please come prepared for the outdoors: 

  • Bug spray – Please bring. If you don’t need it, all the better but want to make sure you are protected
  • Mud? – If it has rained, it can be muddy in the pumpkin patch so it’s good to bring some boots along just in case

Food & Drinks

  • Weekends:  We’ll have caramel apples and cider slush available, smoked pulled pork sandwiches and hot dogs for lunch. Also, bottled water to keep you hydrated, soda and frozen ice cream treats
  • Grab a meal deal (hot dog, chips and drink)
  • You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks as well. Grab a picnic table and enjoy a leisurely lunch

Time to Allow

  • Plan on spending 1 1/ 2 – 2 hours at the orchard. This should give you plenty of time to pick your fruit, let the kids burn off some energy, and take some great photos

Outdoor Fun

  • We have lots of fun outdoor activities for your crew
  • Best to wear shoes rather than sandals.  Also, long pants might be a good idea for those wishing to scale the hay tower and/or play a game of hide-and-seek in the corn maze

Please no pups

  • While we love dogs, we ask that you leave your four-legged buddies at home out of consideration for the kiddos who are a little shy of the pups. Thanks for understanding!

Where are we?

  • Just outside of Ceresco, NE.  Sort of between Lincoln and Omaha.
  • Here is a map
