Stone’s Apple Barn

I have been dying to go apple picking for years and relive some childhood memories. Finally, the day came!
This is the only pick-​your-​own apple orchard within miles of the QC. We expected it to be overcrowded. Not at all! Everything is laid out so nicely. There are 2 sections — the pick-​you-​own orchard, and the barn/​petting zoo.
The pick-​your-​own orchard has a variety of different kinds of apples to pick. It is $ 1.50/lb, and a minimum of 20 pounds. You can rent a apple picker ($ 10 deposit), and they also have a tractor ride to the orchards if you want. It is CASH/​CHECK ONLY — no credit cards here. They have a sign that is color coded so you know what trees are what variety, and also what rows they are in. The trees also have colored ribbons on them to match the sign. The trees had plenty of apples on them, and you can try them out to see if you like them.
The barn is full of pre-​picked apples, jams and preserves, apple butter, candies, caramel apples, apple cider, squash, gourds, pumpkins, and more! So many yummy things to choose from! They also have a petting zoo with chickens, goats, donkeys, rams, and an alpaca. You can feed the animals through the fence (they have feed you can purchase in the barn). The animals are friendly and will let you pet them. You can’t go in the fence, but that’s ok.
The staff is really nice — I actually lost my ID while I was there and they found/​returned it to me. A great family-​run business! I will most definitely be returning!
