Whenever I go to Fort Dodge, Community Orchards is a must! I have been coming here with my Grandma since I was a child, and now I get to bring my children! They have the best food. I absolutely LOVE their scarecrow soup and their pulled pork. Their potato salad and caramel apple dip is great, also. They have the best apples and nectarines. The Apple Attic (I think it's called) is a delightful place to shop. They have all sorts of goodies up there! Unfortunately, they have no way for folks with mobility issues to get up there. They have a huge outdoor play area for kids that is thoroughly enjoyable. read more
