Apple Works is absolutely beautiful. My kids love the petting zoo, the playground, and being able to run freely. I don't believe you can pick your own apples anymore. As a sidenote, this is a beautiful place to get family photos taken really any type of year! This is one of the places my clients like the best I have noticed that the shop is usually super packed and the lines wrap around the building. Everything is extremely expensive in there.

Well I would love to leave a good review but we were given no choice but to leave upon arrival. After almost an hour drive, we pulled into the gravel lot to see "no pets allowed" signs posted everywhere. I completely understand this policy for indoor buildings, but an orchard? That makes no sense. If they had a working website, we might have known we weren't welcome before the drive. We will continue to go to Beasley and Anderson orchard, where the entire family is welcome.

I love visiting Appleworks - there truly isn't anything else quite like it in Indiana! With lots of activities for families and beautiful grounds that provide a picturesque backdrop for photos, this is a must visit place in the Hoosier state. For my Thanksgiving apple pie, I stopped in to pick up a variety of their apples and I think they grow the best apples for pie making. It was definitely the most popular dessert at my Thanksgiving table, with only one piece leftover. Highly recommend buying your apples here and supporting a locally owned orchard.

Well times have changed and my rating needs to be as well. This used to be our place to go but from what I have read new ownership and changes we did not like. You now have to pay a $2 per person to get into the facility. You no longer go grab pumpkins and by weight pay. You now have to go grab pumpkins and be charged small, medium or large for the pumpkin but you don't have a clue what size it is until the man looks up and down and says yea that is this size. This is why we don't go to a pumpkin patch closer to us and now we will be looking for a different one next year. This place has lost its touch.

We used to go here every year because it had that down home feeling like you were visiting grandmas house. Unfortunately this year we were sadly disappointed that the homey feeling was gone. The animals were so sad and weren't eating or letting you pet them. The staff wasn't friendly or helpful. They didn't act like they wanted to be there. They no longer allow you to bring your dogs which is sad because they too are part of the family. The manner in which they were handling those with dogs was very unprofessional. Save your time and go somewhere else.

We come here at least once yearly to get our apples, pumpkins, and cider! This past weekend we went and were pleasantly surprised at all the new additions and remodels done by the new owner! The shop is bigger and easier to walk through than in the past and more activities for the younger kids to do. One suggestion I have is do not go on the weekends - too busy! Typically, we try and go during the week but were not able to this year. They have food trucks on the weekends though but the lines were really long. I have read some negative reviews on here but unsure if I agree or not. Some are saying that you no longer can bring your dogs but I never did so cannot clarify. Also, we didnt go to the pumpkin patch so unsure if you can pick your own pumpkins or not but know in the past you could so that would be a real bummer if that has changed. I do know that the apples, cider slushies, apple butter, and apple dumplings still have the same great taste as before but they were much more expensive than before. From now on I plan on making my own dumplings.

Oh wow, my original review is 8 years old! It is definitely time for an update. We've continued to come here every year to stock up on apples and apple products. They are the only place we've found that lets you mix different types of apples in one bag. The staff know the apples very well and can recommend the perfect apple for any taste or need. I always get a full peck of a mix of sweet and tart eating apples and enjoy them over a couple of months. I love that they have some heirloom varieties as well as the newer hybrids. They don't have apple picking here, but honestly, isn't it easier to let them pick the apples? Along with the apples I bought Apple butter, apple cider, apple pie, apple doughnuts and some butternut squash for variety. Walking among the trees and out to the pumpkin patch makes a trip here a relaxing outing. The petting zoo and play areas are great for kids, and the new addition of a treehouse is a peaceful spot for adults. We saw a for sale sign out front this year, and learned the owners are retiring. Hopefully whoever buys the property will keep it an orchard! I will be keeping an eye on this over the coming months and hoping to not lose my favorite apple spot!

We have always gotten our pumpkins here. Last year they were all in boxes very similar to what is in front of Kroger and Walmart. This year they wanted us to pay $2 per person for the honor of buying our pumpkins from them. We are senior citizens from a nearby town, we are not doing the kiddie rides etc. We would be buying pumpkins, apple cider, etc. but they weren't interested in our business. When asked when we could come and not pay we were told next Tuesday and maybe the pumpkin patch will still be open. We will be driving the hour to Indy from now on to get our fall food and decorations from Tuttles Orchard, Too bad, we like supporting local.

I would like to point out that I am not the type of person to make reviews, this is my first one ever but this one strikes a spot in me so I need it to be known so it can maybe change. The new owners have completely commercialized this property. I grew up going here every year and they have completely gutted parts of it that I used to love. The area w/ the fudge & pies in those tiny huts inside have been replaced with a shop of tshirts & candles. The food outside is just truck vendors. They pre package your apples, no more apple picking! Pumpkins are definitely not grown there anymore. They charge admission and parking now. Oh yeah and no more pets. Just not the place it used to be. We are going to a new apple orchard this year & it kind of breaks my heart!
