    My friends and I came for lunch, we picked apples, checked out the animals and had an all around wonderful day. Everyone at the restaurant and near the apple Orchard were beyond super friendly Everything is so homey and sweet. It's a wonderful place to come back to over and over again We ordered chicken tenders, fries, pot pie, and an apple pie and a blueberry pie The chicken tenders were delicious so were the fries heard good things about the pot pie. After picking apples, we had fun in the shop. I bought two sweaters and some super yummy apple bread. We love coming here every year.

    This is such a cute farm! This was my first time here with my family and the kids loved it! This is a big farm. Would recommend strollers if you are picking apples. Could be a long walk depending on where apples are available to pick when you visit. Unlike some other farms, they have a free playground and petting zoo for kids. They also have tours and hayrides that operate on weekends only. Don't forget to stop by their gift shop/ bakery/ country kitchen to try some of their desserts / meals! Highly recommend their $5 apple cider slushee!!! The restaurant does close at 2PM on weekdays and runs till 5PM on weekends. The staff at Royal Oak Farm are very nice and friendly. I would definitely come back again next year for Apple Picking. They also have cute little places set up for photos for the kids and your Instagram :P This is definitely a very family friendly place to visit.

    This is place was amazing!!! My girlfriend knows how much I love fall so she was a doll and took my bf and I here so I could express all my love and squee for everything fall. We were there pretty early but it was still jam packed! However, it was all good, the walk to get to the farm wasn't bad at all. At least the weather was cooler and cooperating so no hate here! Anyways, the place is HUGE!!! There is a barn, a restaurant, orchards filled with apples as far as the eye can see and a gift shop. Naturally as someone who self describes herself as allergic to money, we went to the gift shop first. The gift shop was combined with the bakery so the smells when we first entered was unbelievable. It smelled so yummy filled with apple cider and spices! Yum yum yum! My gf and I got some goodies including the most delicious apple cider donuts ever created!!! Right after that, we went to go pick some apples! One of the unique things I liked is that you can either pick apples from various brands in the orchards or you can also pick a big of pre picked apples. Of course, nothing is fresher than picking them from the tree! There is a small fee to go pick depending on how big of a bag you get. The orchards were well taken cared of and as vast as the eye can see! We got to taste and pick so many apples. I don't remember all the brands but from what I remember, I got some Delicious Red, Empire, Liberty and Snow Sweet that I was munching on. Overall, if you love fall and love apple picking, come here! Everyone was friendly, sweet, it was a grade A fun experience and you'll have a great time! I can't wait to come back!

    First time trying out this orchard this year and I loved it. It's not overwhelmingly huge and I appreciate that. The prices are lower then other bigger orchards. You don't have to board a wagon to get to the orchard, you can actually walk over and do some apple picking!! The apples were so fresh and so big. My favorite was the candy crisp. They have an apple maze that is challenging and even has a riddle involved that includes free donuts!! This place has a religious/ cracker barelly southern vibe to it. It definitely got busier as the day went on so if you want a less crowded experience definitely come when they first open. The chicken pot pie was so yummy and their fresh hot donuts just melt in your mouth. I would definitely recommend coming here for a classic fall morning activity and lunch at their kitchen.

    2022 bag of apples, had to pay a slight upgrade but was wonderful, great size for money.

    2023 this place has totally gone commercial and no long family fun place. The prices are crazy, and for $12 dollars you get the worlds smallest bag to pick apples. So sad to see. I have also posted 2022 to show you the difference. Price: $12 to get into the orchard $15 dozen apple cider donuts (stale, weren't fresh) $15: kids wristbands for rides $18: for 4 apples slices, this is outrageous

    What better way to ring in the fall season than with a day of apple picking? Apparently, we're not the only ones with an apple itch which is why Royal Oak's turned out to be the perfect choice. They were the only orchard that didn't require pre-purchased tickets in advance for weekend entry. All other orchards I checked were sold out so this was a huge apple saver. Plus - this was everything we were looking for. It was a busy weekend and lines were everywhere, but the U-Pick check-in line wasn't half as bad as it looked and went by quickly. Prices are very FAIR compared to other orchards. $13 includes your entry fee AND 1/4 (3 lb) peck per person. The only drag was the weekend we were here, we weren't allowed to purchase additional bags due to selling out. I would've grabbed more apples but that day was limited. This isn't their regular policy, they were just swamped with customers. One thing that led me here was the incredible selection. They had at least 8 varieties to choose from including prebagged in their market. Definitely check their website first to see which apples are ready for picking especially if you have a favorite..they have a total of 30 apple varieties! Even on a busy beautiful day there was plenty of room to roam and make your way to each section. The orchard was so clean and enormous (160 total acres of farmland) and social distancing was never an issue. They do require masks at entry. People seemed respectful of others. Trees are numbered and labeled so you can easily locate them on the provided map. Sunflowers were gorgeous. Porta potties are randomly located throughout.. We didn't check out the bakery or cider house :( but I found some great finds in the smaller market; Apple Butter bbq sauce, house made honey mustard, spiced teas, jams, cider & more goodies and some adorable gifts. You HAVE to get their frozen apple cider slushee. I'm not even a slushee girl, but this was the best cider I've ever tasted. Made with their honey crisp apples and wow...incredible flavor. They also make their own sparkling cider (I could kick myself for not going into the cider house) and if it tastes anything like their slushee, I'm going back. Some activities (petting zoo) are closed or only running on weekends due to Covid but there's still so many fun things to do for kids & adults alike; Apple Maze, pumpkin patch, playground and let's not forget shopping. Really organized, affordable and well run family farm. Nice people here. I'd come back in a heart beat. And the apples were out of this world delicious.

    Honeycrisps in abundance!

    What a stellar afternoon at a stellar apple picking orchard! As us suburbanites have learned, trying to get your fall fix on by apple picking in hopes for some serenity, a few smiles on your kid's faces, and some apple cider donuts, usually leads to a little chaos and LOTS of inflated prices. You likely end up elbow-to-elbow with crying kids, people taking selfies, and wasps. Further, such establishments know you'll do anything to stop your child from tugging on your pant leg for a donut or pumpkin so they'll charge you an arm and a leg. THIS place, though it can crowd up a little, has managed to preserve a genuine, wholesome, nostalgic atmosphere and experience without becoming gimmicky. It isn't as expensive as the other orchards. As a matter of fact, your U-pick entry fee which includes your bag is half the price of All Seasons! Upon entering, as one walks toward the apple picking gate, one is intercepted by a waft of fried dough aroma. You have to focus and say to yourself, " I am here for the apple picking". The wait for apple cider donuts is 10 times longer than the entry line for picking. Thats a bit of a downer..but you WILL end up in that line regardless I just know it. They have an excellent array of perfectly ripe apples. Guess what, they do not have an upcharge for honeycrisps! This season, most apples were a little smaller but super juicy and fragrant. You cannot compare these apples with the ones at the grocery store. The apples were overabundant. I lost count of how many times I said "this is the perfect apple". Each breed of apple has a description and it's best use (baking, applesauce, etc). Since this pandemic, we haven't had many outings without feeling a little on edge if we see lots of people. We actually went to two other orchards and struck out. One didn't have apple picking ready yet and the other had far too many people and, understandably, no parking. Covid is a contributor to line wait as they cannot have a crowded store. My wait for the country store was about 35 minutes. WORTH IT! I confess that I'm okay with death by apple cider donuts. These donuts are exceptional! Ours were fresh out of the fryer. They're so light and airy that you surely eat more than one. They currently are limiting households to 1 dozen fyi. As always, my wife had to pull me out of the store because I went in with donuts in mind, left with apple cobblestone bread, a few apple butters, apple cider, honeycrisp sparkling apple cider, and then apple cider donuts. This trip was much needed. Other than the overfilled, unattended outhouses with poopoo mountains, the entire farm is very well-kept and beautiful. The orchard itself is excellent. This makes for a memorable autumn and Royal Oak Farms is worthy of becoming an annual family tradition.

    My review is only for the food as I did not go apple picking. My husband and I picked up a 6 pack of the apple cider donuts and a pint of apple cider and we were in heaven! We enjoyed our treats inside an enclosed picnic area and had a great time. The donuts were soft and pillowy and loaded with cinnamon sugar! The cider was also great, but tasted more like regular apple juice than cider

    Over the years, my family would always go for picking and doughnuts just across the IL-WI border, but those orchards have since closed. We were looking at other places to try and gave Royal Oak a go. What a pleasant surprise! The grounds here are nice, staff are very helpful, and the gift shop/store is out of this world. In addition to picking some tasty apples, I purchase cider doughnuts (INCREDIBLE!!! though not piping hot, alas), a phenomenal apple salsa, blueberry syrup, cherry habanero jam, and apple BBQ sauce (I'd pass on the BBQ sauce). It looks like they offered way more in terms of activities prior to COVID (petting zoo, tractor rides, merry-go-round, etc.), but maybe some of that will come back. Either way, I'd highly recommend this location for a nice family outing or even a date. They do a fine job keeping things clean and socially distant.

    I came here during the fall for cider donuts and apple cider. The property is huge and has a nice indoor shop. The apple cider donuts were so good and fresh! I really liked them. You could tell they were made the same day. The apple cider was also good. A little bit sour but not bad.

    I had so much fun at Royal Oak Farm Orchard. How have I not been to this place before? Royal Oak Farm Orchard is worth a trip if you're looking for a unique day out. The weekend before my friends and I went, a staff member said they had had over 5,000 people, so admittedly, the orchards were a bit picked over. However, that didn't make it less fun. There's acre's of orchard so on a weekday, you can easily go and not bump into anyone else. Parking is a bit limited as you get to midday, so get there early! I arrived when they opened and while waiting for my friends, the main lot filled up quite a bit. Scared of bees? The bees were at their worst in the parking lot and near the tables outside the dining area. In the actual orchard, they were all too preoccupied with the fallen apples. So, my best advice is to be careful where you step, so you don't step on an apple that is being enjoyed by some of the pesky (but super useful) creatures. I'd also advise wearing long pants, just in case you do forget to watch where you're walking. I decided to order their pulled pork sandwich in their dining area. While good, it was very messy. I would probably go for something else next time, like their chicken fingers. Seating is currently outdoor only, so you'll have to contend with some bees. Their frozen apple cider was super tasty- it felt like drinking apple sauce. Before you head home, check out their store! There's so many cool things in it, including recipe mixes, jams, butters and more! And of course, don't leave without any Apple Cider donuts. They were delicious!

    Family fun time gathering and picking out the best and tasty apple of many types. Surprised to see that they still had quite a selection of apples out there during this late season. It was rather cold today and would suggest wearing short and warm boots since it's muddy at times. You can get away with gyms shoes if the weather has rained the past few days. Be ready to spend some money on the tickets as this is where they make the money for the season. Plan to spend about $20 person and kids about $15. Kids rides will cost you a bit more. It's a day of enjoyment and we plan to come visit again. We got our share of apples in the plastic bags which is good enough to take home.

    Really great apple very crisp

    Pearce's Farm Stand is so much more than a place to pick up produce--it's a full-on family…read moreexperience that our kids (and we!) absolutely adore. From live music and wagons to pull/ride to fresh samples and pumpkins (fall), every visit is packed with wholesome fun and unforgettable memories. The farm stand is incredibly kid-friendly, with a large play space featuring real (retired) farm equipment to climb on and hay castles to explore. Our kids could spend hours there! They especially love riding in the wagons, sampling treats like juicy watermelon and soft peanut butter cookies, and dancing to the live music. And we have to mention the sweet corn--it is hands-down the BEST we've ever had. Perfectly crisp, fresh, and flavorful, it's a summer must-have and reason enough to stop by all on its own. In the fall, Pearce's turns into a magical wonderland. Last year, our daughter (who had just turned two) remembered every single detail from our visits--so much so that returning in 2025 was a top priority as soon as they opened for the season! We also really appreciate the farm's $3 "ugly" or overstock veggie bags--a great way to get fresh produce at an amazing value while cutting down on food waste. It's thoughtful touches like this that make Pearce's a favorite not just for the fun, but for the values behind it. If you're looking for a place to make lasting family memories, enjoy local food, and support a fantastic small business, Pearce's Farm Stand is a must-visit. We're already counting down to our next trip!

My husband and I purchased the fiesta dip, cheese curds, apple cider donuts and the cheese and caramel popcorn. Next our group went apple picking. Prices are pretty standard compared to other spots, they do have a $5 deposit if you are borrowing a basket. If you are able to bring a basket of your own, I highly recommend that. To get to the apple orchard you take a short 'hay ride' which I really enjoyed. It was nice to see different areas of the farm. Staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. I'm officially a fan girl of Edwards and am looking forward to many more apple picking adventures here in the future!

When I stopped in I was amazed at the large selection of items they had. They also had a bunch of great looking zucchini. The normal price for them was $1.29 a pound but they were on special for 75 cents a pound. I grabbed 3 nice size ones and the total price was $1.83. Now that was a deal. I should have grabbed more. I was also able to meet the owner Chris. She was very friendly and helpful. She actually stopped in to drop off more zucchini. She was also there to see how the store was doing. We also started talking about cooking food and using fresh veggies. As she was talking to me she was looking through the peppers. She picked up two giant green peppers that were going bad and asked me if I could do something with them. I told her Yeah and she gave them to me. In fact, I took them home and roasted them on the fire pit. I also served them to our guests later that day and they loved them. In fact, the guests used them on there brats. I know roasted peppers are not a traditional topping but I must admit they tasted fantastic on the brats. Thanks Chris for giving me these and adding to our already delicious menu. This store is seasonal. I am not sure when they close down but I'm sure when it starts to get cold. I also learned that Chris is the daughter of the famous Jerry Smith who has the farm North of this location. So all of there fresh seasonal veggies come from there. Jerry Smith's farm has a great pumpkin patch for the kids to visit in October. If you haven't been there then I recommend you load up the Family and make a trip there. They also have a Corn Festival coming up in August too. Those events take place at the Jerry Smith Farm and not here. I also have a Yelp Review posted for that location. Okay back to Green Acres. The selection was huge. They had a variety of potatoes and onions, Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, 4 foot tall Dill, corn, hot peppers, green peppers, pickles, watermelon and zucchini. Everything looked amazing. In addition to the fresh vegetables this location also carried flats of flowers too. I really wanted the palm tree for $330.00 It looks so cool plus I would always feel like I'm on vacation if I owned it. So if you are driving down the road and you see a little shack at the side of the road it's Green Acres. It is the place to be. It's like farm living which is the life for me. Yeah I may get allergic from the smell of hay. I do love the country but I also love my big city too. There are some song lyrics mixed in there above...enjoy!!! See Green Acres makes me want to break out in song. I'm happy that people seem to be getting healthier. Places like this are helping us move in the right direction. We need to learn how to make food again and not out of a box but from scratch. It is not only rewarding to do this but it tastes amazing. So I appreciate Green Acres and I can not wait to stop back.

We picked Cody's farm because there wasn't an entry fee, it wasn't too far, and someone picked up the phone when I called to answer all my questions. You purchase an empty bag for picking apples before starting. A bag costs $30 and holds ~ 30 pounds according to them which works out to $3 a pound. The weather was nice and it was plenty of apple trees to pick from. There were only a couple of other people picking apples while we were there. I imagined these huge trees with apples high up to reach for, but all the trees were around 4 to 5ft. There was several very long rows of different apple trees to walk up and down. I am now convinced to get an apple tree for my back yard since the size isn't huge. The farm had play areas and activities for children so it is a cool place to bring the kids. We hit the store and I bought apple cider donuts that just happened to be really delicious. Most of the produce and products seemed to be a little pricey, but I'm thinking everything is supposed to be organic so the prices are mor.

I was going to get a caramel apple but they were $8 and not made there, prepackaged, so they did not appeal to me. Sandwiches were restaurant prices not" barn" prices so I left. I did enjoy the animals, goats, pigs, sheep and small cattle. I suppose if you have kids it's a great autumn thing to do and pick up some pumpkins and squash while there. Just seemed pricey and there was a charge for kids areas so I don't think I need to go back unless I have little ones to entertain.

    Always wanted to go strawberry picking, but every year we miss the picking window…read more This year we finally went. Chose Stade's based on reviews, availability and location. It was great and would definitely go again! Pricing is fair. They require a $7 minimum per person. It wasn't a problem for us because we chose (2) 4 quart buckets. As of June 2026, 1 qt was $7, 2 qt $14 and 4 qt was $20. I feel their pricing is fair esp given the price of berries recently. They provide the buckets that you keep. You can either take a trolley, train (extra charge) or walk. The field wasn't too far about 10-15 min. We opted to walk both ways. The strawberry fields were pretty big. I highly recommend coming early in the day because it gets busy and the earlier you come, the bigger the berries. They stagger their plantings so it stretches the season longer. They also have lettuce, radishes, cilantro, raspberries and sugar snap peas this weekend. Everything except sugar snap peas were a separate charge. All of their pricing is on their website and their Facebook page has their availability for the day. Strollers and wagons are welcome, but no dogs. The market is worth checking out. They had meats, pies, gifts, donuts, drinks and some produce. I highly recommend the strawberry lemonade slushy. It was refreshing after a couple of hours in the sun. The strawberry donut was tasty, too. It was moist and tender and not terribly sweet. Will definitely be back next year for more strawberry picking. We may comeback for other pickings later this year.

    Stade's is such a fun place to visit with family and friends. We went for raspberry and apple…read morepicking and had an amazing time - it's such a great experience being out in the fields. They offer so many other fruits and vegetables to pick from too, so there's always something new to enjoy each season! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the prices are very reasonable considering how fresh and high-quality the produce is. Everything we picked tasted incredible - you can tell it's straight from the farm. We've made it a tradition to go every year, and it never disappoints. It's a wholesome, fun outing that's 100% worth it!
