My fiancé and I were looking for an orchard where you could pick your own apples and I'm so glad we…read morestumbled upon this one. They have so many varieties! The trees are low enough not to require ladders so they're kid friendly (and for those of us who are fun-sized). The orchard offered a beautiful view of the hills in the background covered in fall trees when I went in early October. There was also a little pumpkin patch that was perfect for pictures! Many people visit Fly Creek Cider Mill and Orchard but you don't get the same experience since you don't get to pick the apples right off the trees. However, we did visit Fly Creek (which is a fun experience too!) the next day and I thought that the apple cider doughnuts from here were much better - they were softer and denser! I also compared it to some doughnuts that my cousin bought from another orchard in PA and Middlefield's still comes up on top! I definitely recommend here for your traditional fall apple-picking/apple cider doughnut-eating/pumpkin-picking experience! There weren't much people when we went so there were many opportunities for uninterrupted photos as well!

I highly recommend this orchard. There were a ton of Apple trees of different types from Macintosh…read moreto Fuji to Blondies... so many I can't recall all of them. Then they also have raspberries, blue berries, grapes, corns that you can also pick. Or they also have it available at the store. And jams, more veggies.. Oh, and don't forget the cider donuts & smores cookies for a buck each. The only mistake I made is I only bought one bag of donuts. It's sooo good. And the staffs are friendly. Price so affordable .We drove an hour and half from where we were staying & it's so worth it. Definitely visit it when around the area. It really made mine & our kids trip so worth it.

The line was out the door and after one bite of their cider donut, I could understand why! I don't even like cider donuts because my heart belongs to raised donuts but this was light, fluffy and not at all dense. The cider slush was also a highlight and made that sweet cider taste even better. @clintoncidermill also sells soups, cookies, pies, coffee cakes and frozen pot pies. If you find yourself in the area, be sure to stop in. It is only open seasonally, so come Thanksgiving, @clintoncidermill will close until next August!

We did the hay ride, bounce pad, corn maze, and checked out the farm animals. The hay ride was beautiful, lots of fall foliage and a great view of the huge pumpkin patch. We also got to see the pumpkin cannon launch a pumpkin while on the hay ride which was my kids' favorite! The apple fritters were delicious, and so was the apple slushy I tried. It was crowded but not nearly as long of wait times and crowds as other nearby pumpkin patches. We will come here again for sure!

There was so much to do and so many pumpkins to choose from! You can use cash and card; when you have your final picks you can bring your wheelbarrow to a nice man in the field who counts up your total. We had a great time getting lost in the corn maze, riding the hayride, looking through goodies at the store and eating pumpkin cream cheese cookies! I would say this experience is priced fairly for what you get; be prepared to spend some money but know the quality of your experience and pumpkins will be HIGH!! Hope you have a fun time at the Pumpkin Hollow- I sure did!

This cider spoils after a few days because it's the real deal - not chemically charged. Pay attention to the labels and ingredients at other places, they often contain pear juice, and some don't even say Cider on the label. McMarleys is authentic and is a beautiful scenic road too,. be careful pulling out of their driveway - people drive too fast on the road and their is limited site distance.
