In addition to the annual PRCA Rodeo every August, Sidney a small Iowa town, 45 miles south of…read moreCouncil Bluffs, has another claim to fame. Penn Drug has been in business since before the civil war, owned and operated by the same family. In addition to a full service pharmacy, Penn Drug has an old fashioned 'soda fountain" where you can get authentic, hand made malts. sodas, phosphates and floats. Like many "old style" Drug Stores (before the"big box" invasion) Penn's carries a little bit of everything. You'll often find 91 year old Bill Penn still behind the pharmacy counter, filling prescriptions as he has since the 50's. Never too busy to answer questions about your medications or discuss current affairs in our little town, Bill is a community icon! Whether you're in the area for "Iowa's Championship Rodeo" or a leisurely picnic at Waughbonsie State Park (with magnificent views of the Missouri river bottom from the scenic overlook). A trip to Penn Drug for a malt or a soda, hand made and simply delicious, is a must in a visit to an often overlooked corner of Iowa, less than an hours' drive from the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area. Check it out, you'll love it!

Whether you're stopping in for their incredible apple cider doughnuts and cookies, picking fresh apples, enjoying a glass of wine, or just soaking in the beauty of the orchard, there's something here for everyone. Kimmel is also a fantastic place to host events -- the Kimmel Education & Research Center and the outdoor pavilion provide unique, welcoming spaces surrounded by nature. And if you're bringing kids (or just young at heart), don't miss the Pollinator Playground or the Certified Pollinator Habitat -- both are creative, educational, and fun spots to explore. Kimmel is truly a gem in Southeast Nebraska -- full of charm, great people, and meaningful connections to the land and community. Definitely worth a visit (or many)!

Nebraska classic if you ask me. Been a tradition to stop every fall since I can remember. Not much…read morehas changed and yet it has. New pickling veggies I never used to notice. The dilly beans!! Soo good. Must have along with either turnovers or the cinnamon apple donuts. It is a family owned orchard so they don't run super staffed all the time like a commercial business. Often one or two friendly faces unless its peak season. Restrooms always clean since they are right off the highway. They have a small seating section if needed or while doing a wine flight. I haven't been out in the orchard in some years but they have a wonderful area set up for kids. Apple picking wagons when it's time.

Union Orchard south of Omaha is relatively close to where we live. Apple season is about over, but…read morethey were very accommodating by driving us to a specific type of tree to pick a bag of apples. They have King David apples, which are Bookguy's favorite variety. But the apples ripened early and were already picked. Normally the orchard has hayracks pulled by tractors on weekends and that's how they take customers to various trees. We were there on a weekday so a guy drove us in a pickup. We were able to find enough good apples still on the tree to fill a bag. It was tempting to pick apples that looked okay off the ground, but we were advised not to since wild animals in the area forage the ground drops. The shop there has a lot of other good things to eat: jellies, jars of canned veggies, apple cider, popcorn, baking mixes, and cookies, to name a few. You can also order pies for the holidays. The wine tasting room features Nebraska wines. There's outdoor seating too. Even late in the season there's plenty of reasons to visit Union Orchard.
