Edwards Apple Orchard West

Just as good as the original but not as crowded. They have a hayride out to the pumpkin patch, apples, and gourds galore. The apple cidar donuts are delicious and the Fudge is chef's kiss.

We have been visiting the Popular Grove Edward's Orchard every year since 1991 however if we want just a little something like a donut we will go to this one. The employees here are not quite as friendly or helpful as the Popular Grove one. You can buy apples, cider, mums, jarred things & knick knacks here. They do not serve hot cider here until the first day of Autumn unless you happen to go on a chilly wet day like we did. It is also nice to know you can only use cash at the counter seving the drinks.The parking is on gravel and there are quite a few handicap accessible spots and the restrooms are accessible as well.

Good donuts and cider. Nice little place. I guess the 4 is just because I didn't feel as wowed as every one made it out to be

All the same great stuff of the main Edward's Apple Orchard with only a fraction of the people. Please keep going to the other one so it's less crowded for me :)The route there was under construction and had to detour around, but signs were well marked.

I love going to this farm although we paid and travel more the apple picking experience with this huge basket make alot of difference!Staff are also friendly!Keep it up!

Stopped in for donuts the weekend to start the apple season. The service was fast and check out was quick and the lady was very friendly and courteous. We tried the apple cider jug to go and it was tasty. If your looking for good treats and fun place for the kids to burn off energy this is the place. Just be respectful as there are live animals, and this is some ones home. They have a few signs posted so guessing there have been challenges. BTW they have plenty of parking and its easy to get into and out of the lot.I love this location after going to the main one for years.

Fabulous hot apple donuts. Even have day old. We bought apple donuts, apple cider and apple dog treats. We will be back for more donuts and cider before the end of the season!! Lots of activities for kids with wagon rides and play area. The mums are beautiful and reasonably priced.

Love it but PLEASE. PAVE your parking area! Sitting here in a sandstorm, about to have asthma attack. When it rains it's all mucky. With the wonderful business you do, should have been done years ago!

Great apple orchard close to Rockford. Great for a fall afternoon with the family. Activities for all ages.

Old lady in the store can use a lesson in customer service. My family came after harvest and first frost. Since there were no apples on the trees we picked some up off the ground that weren't too brown and took a picture holding them. My son decided to continue eating his. We went into the store and walked around fo a while. I noticed the old lady eye balling my son as he walked around the store. Where ever he went her eyes went with a dirty look on her face. I thought it was strange but didn't think much of it. They weren't busy so she didn't have much else to do I guess. We had about $140 worth of things from the store to buy when we went up to the registers. There was on other customer behind us. As we are walking up there was one other customer behind us. The young cashier that the old lady was talking to was very quick to ask us (before saying hello or anything else) was "we noticed the little guy was snacking on an apple where did he get that from". Before I could even get my story out of my mouth the angry old lady was quick to reply (even though the customer behind me was at her counter) "well then that will cost you $1 bc if everyone here did that we would have a huge problem!!! ". It was in a very rude tone that she couldn't wait to get out all while she ignored the customers at her register. It wasn't the $1 she was wanting to charge me that was the issue. I get what she was trying to say, although she could have used a different tone. If it was that big of an issue she could have addressed it when she first noticed it quietly not in front of other customers. What bothers me here is how she eyeballed my son and my family the entire time and then waited until we got to the registers and says it very loudly in front of other customers that she was ignoring. We decided we didn't want to spend our money at a business that would employ such a poor employee and told them they can put back the $140 worth of items we would have bought had the old lady acted in a more professional manner about the issue. Had she handled it correctly I would have happily handed over the $1 for the post harvest apple and completed my purchase. It's too bad this employee that needs a lesson in customer service has reunited my family's perception of all Edwards Apple Orchard locations and brands. I have grown up going there and up until this day brought my kids there multiple times per year.
