Rush River Orchard and Bakery

This review is a few months after we went, but the experience is still on my mind! We came in October to go apple picking and had a wonderful time! We got a free hay ride where they told us about the history of the orchard, as well as many cool facts about apples. I had no idea that there were over a thousand types of apples! They have a cute little jungle gym for kids to play on while you pick their delicious apples. The honesycrisp are to die for when they are ready. The real fireworks came when we tried their honesycrisp cider. Holy smokes. I would pay whatever they asked of me for that stuff. We honestly went home with six gallons of it because the told us it freezes well. I like that they have a little bakery and seating area. I do wish they haf a little more variety of food and drink options, but we got applr doughnuts and apple crisps and they were glorious! This place is worth the trip when their honeycrisp apples are in season! The perfect way to spend an afternoon with your family!

Saw the 'Bakery Open' sign on Highway 63 right next to Cty Rd G and had to go check it out! It lead to the Rush River Orchard. We had visited the orchard years before, and it was easy to remember because they have Jonathan Apple apple trees all along the driveway up to the shop! The apples are so nice it is tempting to pull one through your car window on the way up! We found out that there are new owners this year and they had pies baking as we walked in, heavenly!! You can buy a whole pie, or by the slice, 'ala mode even! A lot of apple desserts, blueberry crisps, cream cheese topped apple muffins.. and a fantastic view from their dining area! The orchard is clean and well marked, will be going back for more apples soon!!
