Really enjoyed the staff and it's a very unusual interesting. Small firm and orchard experience. Super different than nearby LinVilla, which is much more commercial in corporate. Love their small hayride wagon, even though we didn't take the ride at dusk. Open every day seven days a week 10 to 6 and they seem to have some pretty nice produce. Tomatoes? Excellent and they grow them themselves. read more

Love this farm. It's much less crowded then nearby linvilla. Mostly I stop by to buy their excellent produce. The blueberries in particular are great. I've done the pick your own twice and enjoyed it. There is a fee per person which is fine. They ask you not to eat anything in the field. I knew this was impossible for my 2 year old blueberry monster so I just paid for an extra pint for like $5. Fun times we're had by all! The vegetable patch can be muddy. Bring appropriate footwear if you want to pick your own veggies. The orchard/berry area is not and I had no problem wearing boat shoes. read more

Sept 18, 2020: These folks may be picked out for the season. We were directed where to go for apples, but the farm was pretty picked out. It was a long wait to get baskets and pay the entrance fee (a modest $2.50), a short walk to pick just a few varietals of apples, and then a very long wait to pay for what we'd picked (a very expensive $3.50/lb). By the time we left, I had the urge to flag the folks arriving and tell them to turn around and go elsewhere. It felt like continuing to let folks go out and pick was disingenuous. Also, I know everything around here is "Indian" something, but I was really thrown by the stereotypical Indian statues and totem poles. There is no indication anywhere that the family is native, nor any recognition of the Lenape tribe whose land the farm is on. I hope that in future seasons they opt for decorations that are more basic fall (scarecrows, etc) and less racist. read more

I chose to ignore the recent bad reviews and that was a mistake. It was $11 to go to the orchard and then $3.99 a pound for whatever you picked. They also sold us a basket for $14 that we could fill with tomatoes. The orchard deal was a bad one but we figured we could have fun and get some fresh apples. The trees were a mess and not labeled as to what the apples were in many cases. The tomatoes were all dead, we couldn't find one good one much less a basket full. When we went back to the cashier we wanted to return the tomato basked but were told there are no returns. They knew there were no tomatoes when they sold us that basket. Do yourself a favor and believe me. Don't go to Indian orchards. Lin villa is five minutes away and 1000 times better read more

It's been many years since I've been fruit picking, but this farm did not disappoint! Admission is $2.50, and you get baskets/containers for the fruit you want to pick. Whatever you don't use, you just return at the end, so there's no harm in overestimating how much fruit you'll pick! I went in July, which was blueberry season. Soooooo many fresh, yummy blueberries were definitely the highlight of our day! We picked some blackberries, but we didn't really find many ripe ones at all. I think we were a little too early for the blackberries. They do have one row of blackberry trees with thorns, so definitely be careful! But those are supposedly the most delicious blackberries. The peach trees were our final stop! We wanted white peaches but found mostly yellow peaches. It was hard to pick out some good peaches, since a lot of the peaches were eaten by bugs or imperfect in some way, but we still ended up with a few. We actually ended up buying some white peaches from the farmer's market store they have where you pay for all your fruit. The fruit was a little pricey, but that's the price for picking out only beautiful fruit to take home! There's a veggie garden, but we didn't check it out that day. Maybe next time! read more

Small family farm that's been in business for 104 years that now grows organic fruits and vegetables. Starting this summer 2017 they are selling farm shares and will Cap the number available to a small enough number to keep it manageable and know their customers well. Gail the wife of the son of the previous owners is passionate about their mission to provide organic, sustainable items to the local community. And although I have not met her husband I know he shares the same passion from conversations with her. My interactions at the farmstand with Jackson have been incredibly pleasant. All this makes me happy to support a local farmer. .I have purchased one such fruit share and have been extremely pleased with the quality of the fruits I received thus far. When you raise them organically and with love they just taste better. I hope they stay in business another hundred for years! read more

So happy to find this family farm via yelp. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel at home. They helped me find a few things and figure out how to get into the netted areas (by the berries to keep the birds out). My son and I went on a Sunday afternoon and they had a nice crowd. It was great that it was not overwhelmingly crowded where you can't find parking. Organic fruits and veggies are a plus since we try to eat as healthy as possible. $2.50 per person picking fee which is reasonable. The prices for the fruit and veggies were reasonable as well. They have baskets you can carry but if you have a wagon I suggest that you bring it since you need to walk around the farm. It just makes it easier. We picked up blueberries, blackberries and peaches. We wanted to pick some squash but the rain was approaching. They have a very cute store which has unique signs and tons of fresh fruits and veggies. The tomatoes were so beautiful I had to purchase a couple. They also had jarred honey and other unique items. Con - They need a little better signage to find the you pick areas. I didn't see where to go to pick the squash but then again I was rushing. I also didn't see a sign into the blackberry area. They have a pic of a map on the wall which I took a picture of. They gave me their cell in case I get lost on the farm. I suppose it happens since trees/areas start to look alike if you are not used to it. So happy we found this place as we will definitely be back. Plus we were told there is fishing which would be cool. read more

This place is a total rip off. For a family of 5, it was $120 for two smallish baskets of apples. They charged $11 per person just to walk into the field(including my 2 year old). Then it was another $4 per pound. Stay away. read more

Pretty bad experience (though we didn't let it ruin our day). they had one line of apple trees we were allowed to pick from, which no one told us until after we had paid to get into the farm. Honestly, it seems like this farm is trying to do a quick cash grab before people find out how terrible it is. They charge for EVERYTHING, even though the quality is ridiculously low. And there are really aggressive and unfriendly signs everywhere. "NO REFUNDS" (which makes sense because they charge so much and you don't realize how little you are getting until later). They even had signs all over their orchard about not eating the apples, which, how could you? given that there are no apples to even pick. Really a ridiculous experience. Better to go for a free walk in the woods behind the farm. Really beautiful. read more

Honestly this was such a good experience, it's so hard to find an organic farm, and they had such a variety. I'm vegetarian so the "veggie land" was amazing, she showed us the private garden with the eggplants and squash. Gail was so sweet to us showed us around was very helpful, let my friend pick raspberries even tho they were closed off bc it's my friends birthday. I got a bunch of string beans, 2 eggplants, swiss chard, apples, and a honey mustard for $24. To apple pick was $3.50, which compared to jersey is cheap. such a great experience, and she has the cutest cats Tom Cruise and Sylvester. Really such a good experience could not have asked for a better experience for both myself and my bestie's birthday. read more

Had a great time at this organic pick-your-own fruit farm yesterday. You drive down a dirt road to the small parking lot, then check in at the quaint shop. Admission is $2.50 and you get baskets and/or pint containers depending on the fruit you're going to pick. There were a few people standing in line paying for fruit, so a friendly staffer let us go ahead into the fields and said we could pay the admission later. It was all about raspberries and apples that day. Hubby and I had our 2 young nephews in tow, and fortunately it was not a far walk to find the rows of berry bushes. Any row that was open for picking had an orange flag at the end. My nephews loved looking through all the bushes to find the ripe ones with the dark red color, although they preferred that we adults do the actual picking, since the plants had small thorns. (It was a good opportunity to explain that some plants have thorns to protect them from predators like birds and animals.) Then it was on to the apples, and there were so many varieties! We went for the Golden Delicious, Mutsu and Fuji ones. Each tree was clearly labeled, which was great. (And again, another learning opportunity for the kids was explaining how to tell when each variety is ripe, since they are different colors; also fruits don't have to look perfect to taste delicious.) After picking, you take your stash to the cashier at the shop, where they also sell already-picked produce, plus jars of honey and cute gifts. I bought a painted wooden sign for my sister-in-law with an inspirational saying about moms. As an aunt, this was a perfect fall afternoon with the nephews. If you're bringing kids, I would suggest sneakers or boots and long pants, since the grass can be high in some places (this is a farm, after all). Also, if their skin is sensitive, wear long sleeves and gardening gloves to protect their arms and hands when they're reaching through branches to pick fruit. read more

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Completely disorganized and over priced. Seemed more like a scam operation than an actual business. read more

If you're looking for a real family operation, you will like Indian Orchards. We went for apple picking and chose Indian Orchards because we wanted a place that AT LEAST used Integrated Pest Management. The owners told us that they employed organic methods but couldn't pay the exorbant cost for organic certification. The owners are very accommodating, outgoing, and chatty. When we went recently there was a cute dog running around in a little plaid vest. The apple selection is broad. They definitely have varieties of apples which are hard to find or not available in stores. They even have "heirloom" varieties which they say are the oldest trees they have on the property. It was a great place to go with your family - not overrun with other people/kids. We will definitely be back :) read more

Indian Orchards - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

We had high hopes that this family run orchard would be great. It is very beautiful. We waited 45 minutes in line to purchase our 2.50 admission a piece, for all people regardless of age. When we finally got our baskets to walk into the fields, we were given no directions...and never found any ripe apples, fruit, veggies...nothing! We walked around for a while. No other guests were finding anything either. So, we walked back to buy fruit; which was the same line! The fruit/pumpkins/sweets in their store was overpriced and involved 25 more minutes of waiting. Very little attempt to get the line moving (it wasn't that long but their credit card machine was the excuse). Disorganized. At one point we inquired about the hay ride...but it was just riding on a tractor trailer, no hay. It would cost us $7 each; we declined and our young kids were disappointed. Next time, Linvilla! Sometimes a commercial place is better. read more

a little expensive but great activities, a great environment and a range of things to pick.

One if the nicest experiences our family has ever had with "pick your own". friendly and knowledgeable staff, absolutely beautiful grounds to walk around, and a stunningly full farm stand. Gaile was incredibly helpful, sweet and very very kind. we will come here again and again (now that we've found it!) read more

Absolutely breathtaking, fun for the whole family, great for picture-taking! Or even wedding pictures!

This place has been under new management for a little while now and the new people are absolute nut cases, especially the woman that runs it. I feel very bad because I wanted to suport a small business and went out of my way to try but in the end I just got screwed over when I booked the venue for a private party. Do yourself a favor and find another place to host your event. It may be ok for apple picking, I have no idea, but for events, forget it. read more

I do not like this place, their prices are very high. The cashier is not nice with customers when I buy fruits and vegetables. I was surprised by the very high bill, and when you decided to return, you rose without a convincing reason rejected read more

So here's the FB message I sent them: Hello, I drove out of my way from New Jersey this afternoon to come pick apples at your orchard. I wanted to support your farm and its organic practices. What a disappointment that we were told there were no apples to pick. I checked your website and Facebook page this morning and there was no mention of this. The least you could do is let people know. Unfortunately my business went down the road to Linvilla instead. And here's what they responded: Sorry - Can't control Mother Nature when WE DONT SPRAY LIKE OTHER PLACES. - who still hv apples. I hope u enjoy them. Wash those puppies a few times dear & we do hv a phone since New Jersey can be a hike but thanks for thinking of us first. Wow, I can't even! Obviously I suggest not supporting a business with such poor customer service. Especially when the customer was just trying to give constructive feedback to help them improve their business. read more

Charged $2.50 per person (including my 2 year old daughter and they almost asked for money for my 6 month old son!) to walk around their property. Literally zero apples on the trees. When we asked the saleswoman about their sham she asked if we picked off the ground? It's fine that the season is poor but to charge and lie about having apples and other produce is ridiculous. Not knowing that this experience would be so dismal, we purchased the hay ride for our two kids. Waited 45 minutes and they had no driver.... Will never return and recommend you find somewhere else to experience the fall season. read more

This is the best place I have ever been. This small organic farm is amazing...... Beautiful location!!! You can fish have a party or just pick some fruit an veggies. Or do my favorite drink the great apple cider. Everyone there treats you like family an Are informative an very welcoming. I had such a amazing experience that this will be my place for picking fruit from now on.. EVERYTHING IS ORGANIC.... an with a compromised immune system it is necessary. I learned allot here an I appreciate the staffs assistance. I recommend you try it at least once you won't regret read more

Indian Orchards - Photo off of the patio area. - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Media, Pennsylvania

We came here today....very strange visit. Everything was rotten and disgusting. All the apples were infested with bees. They charged 10 dollars for dogs. This place has a very strange way of handling dogs on the property for -0 dollars they put a sign up with your dogs name, a sign that says "autographs with (dogs name) and give you a reserved parking space which you don't need?? Very disappointed trip. I understand they weather can effect the crops however atleast tell us there are no applies before you charge us... 1/5. Will not return. read more

Small family farm that produces fruits and vegetables that are organically and/or sustainably grown. This place is overshadowed by the Linvilla effect, which is just around the corner and offers the draw of the petting zoo, haunted hayrides, etc. This place is everything Linvilla is not. I had passed this place hundreds of times in the past and never took a turn down Copes Ln even though I had seen the shingles listing items that were available. I signed up for a CSA fruit share with Indian Orchards last year through Red Hill Farm, and the fruit from here is quite good. The fruit share was a bit more expensive than what I had anticipated especially since part was pick-your-own (should have read the fine print better). During that time and since then, I have visited the orchard which is down a long, isolated lane. A car can traverse, but I was happy I was with someone driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Considering you are in the depths of Delaware County, I was surprised just how isolated it felt. It may be the reason why M. Night Shyamalan chose this place for the setting of one of his scenes in his movie, "The Village." A full history of the farm can be found in an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer (http://articles.philly.com/2006-09-03/news/25412510_1_75-acre-farm-christmas-trees-fruit). It is the real deal, offering apples, peaches, plums, honey, berries, and a limited number of Christmas trees. Bring your hiking/work boots, not your UGGs or your Jimmy Choo's, and enjoy the noncommercial simplicity. read more

A wonderful alternative to overdone "pick your own". This family farm is a true gem! Right on the cusp of a beautiful nature preserve- Indian Orchards truly delivers. You have a wide array of pick your own raspberries, blueberries and blackberries (when seasons permit), peaches (the most delicious!), pears and apples. There is honey from their hives as well! There aren't hay rides or corn pits and all that nonsense a- but the property is walkable- and really stunning. A great place for a peaceful morning with some little ones or a group of adults looking to do something unique. read more

I wanted to love this place. Very quaint place with lots of options to pick. However we had to wait in line for almost half hour just to get our baskets for picking. The minimum charge was $15 yet for a family of 4 it was $10 to pick so we had to buy extra right off the bat. Then we went to pick apples and there was nothing (which the man at the counter somewhat warned us about but not until after we stood in the long line). Then I would have to wait in that same long line again to pay for whatever we picked and again have a minimum $15 charge. We tried to pick vegetables and again came up short. We dropped the 2 apples we got and left which I would never usually do. Poorly managed and an overall frustrating family outing. Maybe it was our timing of the year? read more

Where do I begin? RUN, don't walk, from these scam artists. My mother hosted my baby shower here and it was a disaster from the beginning because these people are dishonest. They changed the location space that we had agreed upon and only informed us when we arrived that the space had been moved. We had no use of a kitchen or refrigerator for our party and all of our food spoiled. Like other people have said, they change prices. They blindsided us with an invoice that was higher than what we had talked about (despite all the changes on their end that ruined our event). When I told them to mail me an updated invoice they tried to block my mother's car from leaving, and then after we left they SENT THE POLICE TO MY HOUSE saying that my mother ran over the woman's foot (she did not). These people are CRAZY and worse, they are crooks. Again RUN DONT WALK! read more

Happy to support this family run organic orchard!

Love this place! I purchased a farm share and I have to say they did not disappoint! Every week there was a great variety of fruits and vegetables. I love that everything is organically grown and that the owners really respect the soil. It's important to my family that we know where our food comes from and that no harmful chemicals are sprayed onto the crops. I will DEFINITELY be joining the farm share again next year. read more

I really wanted to like this place. We were looking for a farm to go pick fruits and veggies, and I liked what Indian Orchards had on their website. I liked that they were organic and they let you pick whatever you wanted - not just fruit. So we went there. We were 2 adults and one toddler. They charged us $15 just for admission. This was not stated anywhere on their website, and it wasn't even like a deposit or anything. At other orchards sometimes that initial fee you pay goes towards the fruit that you pick. I like supporting local farms but what happened today, which I will get to in a second, was just too much. The fruit picking part of the experience itself was nice, even though some of the plants were withering and brown, I guess that's normal as the season is changing. They had a lot of variety: apples, different kinds of tomatoes, kale, parsley, eggplant, and at the farm stand they had berries, grapes, peaches (that they grew), and also some fruit that was not their own. After we picked fruits and veggies and the lady at the register, Gale, was ringing us up, oh my God when she told me the total it was unbelievable. She charged us like 12 bucks for the parsley, $14 for like 4 peaches..... a few leaves of kale for almost $4.. (Organic local kale should not be more than $2 for a bunch). $4 for a tinyyyyy bowl of ice cream that you can find at a supermarket for probably not more than a dollar. What a RIP-OFF. Some things I guess were priced okay like the apples which I expected to cost a lot more, and we got a lot of apples, but I felt like the other prices should cost less especially since we picked them ourselves and saved them the trouble. So today our total was about $75, and for what? I just don't think it's worth it. I thought it was a small farm and it would be better and wanted to support them instead of the big name farms, but maybe we will go to those because at least they have a system they follow when they ring things up and its not just whatever. Not to mention the ridiculous admission fee that doesn't go towards the fruit. It would have been nice if the prices were clearly stated on a sign. Fruit may grow on trees, but money doesn't. Please don't take advantage of people. We will gladly support you if you are an honest, committed business. Don't you want more people to be able to have access to and be able to afford good local grown food? I will gladly support my local farmers and contribute but I felt like things were out of hand here. Will not be returning unless things change. Again I really wanted to like this place. If you do go, make sure you wear pants because the grass can be a little tall. And sneakers with socks. They have some wagons for kids to sit in. The experience is nice if you want to go just for the experience or pictures and not buy anything. Ask about prices before they ring you up. read more

My husband and I returned here today after having been here a few years ago. It was a great pick ur own then but it has changed. We drove 50 min from NW Philly. It is now not for the serious foodie but instead for a family looking for a fun adventure with the kids. Now it costs $2.50 per person just to pick ur own and pick ur own is only $1 less than retail. So we would have had to pick 6 pints just to make up the fee of admission. Plus $1 less for pick ur own which isn't worth the cost of our labor. Nowhere on their website does it mention that there is a fee for pick ur own. I understand the precarious nature of family farms but this tactic was offensive. I can buy organic at Weaver's Way coop or the farmer's market in chestnut hill every sat for same price or even less than IO pick ur own. Next time we'll go to Solebury in New Hope for pick ur own. read more

I've been to Indian Orchards several times. It is a small scale place, with a surprising amount of variety on the property. Each time I have been there, the fruit has been delicious! The owners are happy to tell you all about how the fruit is grown, and which trees/bushes have the ripest fruit. The farm has been in the family for about 100 years. Definitely worth the drive! read more

This is a true hidden gem. I showed up today with my 2 young kids, and it turned out to be the first weekend of the season. The man who showed us around was delightful, and the berries were abundant and sweet. It was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Just the respite these city folks needed today! Love that they don't spray the berries. We'll definitely be back! read more

bad experience , farm was over grown not well taken care of , besides the fact that we where charged an astronomical price for small amount of fruit . we where also charged 6.00 per pint of rasberries and blackberries when we only picked about 6 berries each because thats all that was there, buyer beware i guess, 7.00 to enter also and then charged 75.00 for everythinge we picked in my eyes about 20.00 worth never going back. read more
