There were clearly some people there looking to use it as a venue, and honestly I can see why, the whole place was just screaming "YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED HERE" Unfortunately, the Doll and Apple portions were cleared out, and looked to be mid-remodel. We did speak to someone who showing a couple around the venue and were told that the lockdown had hit them hard, and they were basically closed. I was very sad to hear this as this was recommended to me as the BEST apple tasting and souvenir shop on the hill. I hope they get going again, so we can visit them next time.

Our stop was totally unplanned, but we had to stop by here! The view was gorgeous. There was a gentleman peeling apples and gave us a complimentary apple! We got a lb of mixed apples and Apple Fritter, which is one of my fave pastries from Apple Hill. We walked the area and just enjoyed the scenery. There's a lot of other pastries, apple jams/sauces, and delicious goodies.

FREE PARKING! 1 (one) toilet on the left side of the store. Less busy than other farms closeby.

They are not super commercialized with vendors, a bakery, or much. In fact I think the only foods you can buy are apples, chips, water and pumpkins. Anyways, we really enjoyed our time at this farm and thought the ladies working here provided great service. We did not experience any yelling or anger during our visit as stated in a couple comments below.

The friendly demeanor of the apple sampler in the barn cancelled out the bad attitude of the lady who sold us food in the bake shop. Still did not appreciate my friend being talked to like that but I guess that is what happens when the peppy no filter clashes with the grumpy no filter. Anyway, bake shop purchased yummies including veggie dog and pumpkin cookie were both very good, and I appreciated being able to pick up a pint of apple cider to go. They offer many other things at the bake shop such as turnovers, pies, cookies, additional desserts I don't feel like listing, sandwiches, and beverages. The apple barn smelled amazing, and we got to try a bunch of apple slices. I had never tried a mutsu apple or Arkansas black apple before and both were delicious and interesting. Mutsu is a golden delicious bred with a granny smith and the Arkansas black is thicc in texture/skin and sort of has a caramel sweetness to it. We liked sitting outside at the picnic tables and playing PoGo. Thought about heading over to the museum to look around but there was a hat cultist inside so neither of us felt like spoiling our day with that kind of aura iykyk. Maybe next time. You know what they say about one bad apple. Leave it on the ground, the rest will be just fine. Extra parking across the street but be so careful crossing the street. I did not notice any vegan options to confirm either way, but they do have many vegetarian friendly snack and meal options. Prices are reasonable for the area. My veggie dog was $8 and came with chips, and my pint of apple cider was $4.

Behind the shop is a large open area that has goats, pigs, ducks and chickens (all fenced in separately - see pictures). You can buy food to feed the goats, who are really friendly. There is also an old tractor and tire swing, great for the kids to play on. Past the open area are the bakeshop and lunch area, where we found the best selection of lunch food in Apple Hill (every other place just had BBQ burgers and hot dogs). We had a (huge) turkey leg and BBQ chicken breast sandwich, plus homemade apple coleslaw (delish!). After lunch we indulged in apple cake and apple-blackberry-sour cream pie, which were both delicious. They have tons of picnic benches and tables, so even though it was a busy Sunday in the fall, we easily found seating for both lunch and dessert. This is a great place to take kids; there are animals, swings, space to run around, and even a clown!

They had a wide variety of apples and they encouraged you to try the different types. This allowed us to to fully figure out which apples we liked and also encouraged us to pick more apples.

I would 100% recommend this place if you are visiting!!

They said yes and there are still apples on the trees. Which was not really true, we left with 10 tiny apples, 3 of which were from another family that had given up. We walked all sections of the orchard, most apples were on the ground and rotting. I am disappointed that they told me apples were available. They should have said they were open for their small store but not apple picking. We were excited to go and after we discovered almost no apples on the tree I realized I didnt see people leaving with bags and bags of apples. Most were leaving empty handed. The owners are nice, I want to give them business, it seems like they are about to go out of business since things are run down and they only accept cash. I also like how they give kids a apple for their thumb. But please dont stay open for apple picking if there are no apples to pick. We walked around for probably an hour or more set on finding a tree that still had apples available.

I hate that. On the other hand, take out the goo, replace that with pure fruit, lots of it, and no ooze, and I love it!With that in mind, I love the pies at Mother Lode. I just had one today, courtesy of a friend who said this is the best pie in Apple Hill, and I must admit, I think it is. The Apples were just right, with a bit of cinnamon, firmly soft, and a bit moist, but not runny ooze. Just pure goodness. And the crust, it is a thick, crumble top crust that is excellent. I am getting one for Thanksgiving! They are that good.
