Rees Fruit Farm

Family owned and operated for 75 years great place to buy local. Very friendly staff and family!

Amazing friendly service! It’s a place that makes you feel welcome and at home! Good prices and haven’t found anything i don’t love there!!! I stop in every time I go by it and sometimes make special trips!

I’ve been going to Ree’s for as long as I can remember. We’d sometimes stop on the way from Manhattan back to KC for a cider slush.
As the ice melts in your mouth, you get burst after burst of cider flavor! Cider donuts (go early– they don’t last long!), and a good variety of things like honey, apple butter & different types of jellies. They’ve been around for over 100 years.

This place is great. Try a package of freshly made apple cider donuts with a gallon of cider.

Topeka Kansas has very few redeemable qualities. This coming from someone who spent their formidable years in a town limited in scope. We had only one movie theater, one mall, and to come to think of it only one of everything. But amidst the collection of chain restaurants and corporate businesses lies a few speckled treasures indicative of a small town. Fortunately for me, I grew up outside of the capitol city in the country.
Autumn, winter’s foreplay. It tells of the forthcoming, a promise of what is to come. Bringing with it colors of warm chestnut, pumpkin and crimson. It also brings the subtle gentile and autumnal charm of Rees Fruit Farm.
Located on Hwy 4, just two miles south of my mother’s property and the world that played fodder to my childhood imagination sit’s a fruit farm as preserved in time as the memories I have which surround it. It is a place to get lost, a place to reconnect with where food comes from.
Creaking hardwood floors, rows of jarred apple butters, weathered gourds like old men sit and wait, the low hum of the cider mill all signifying the harvest. Reminding you of the beauty of flavor… time. Slow and rich, days pass, the sun sets and rises.
Snapping twigs, rustling leaves, warm cider doughnuts in grease stained paper sacks. Cool, icy apple cider slushes, Rose Puff’s rustic A-​frame house. Beaten pick up trucks, rusty tractors, hail bales. Withered trees that moan, twisted and tattered. The pumpkins yearning to be transformed into creatures, faces, haunting expressions.
If you’re looking for a place that is a living memory, one which you may have had or wish you did, spend a day at Ree’s Fruit Farm and live in the moment of fall.

Way back in the days when the Topeka 501 schools would take us kiddies on a trip of nature adventures. On the way back the buses would pull into Rees Fruit Farm for a cup of apple cider slush. With extra change I would get the sticks of candy.
Fast forward a few decades, this place is still open year round. I pulled in to check it out. They still got the variety of fruits and jams and apple cider products. Still as yummy as back in the day.
If passing close to Topeka, I would suggest this as a good stop on your map. Visit the web side or facebook to see what’s in season.
