We’re Not Just An Orchard – We’re a Fall Destination

At Fair Oaks Farms, Harvest Season isn’t just a quick stop for a pumpkin photo – it’s an all-day fall adventure unlike anything else in the Midwest.

Here, you can start your morning with a dairy or pig tour, explore interactive exhibits in our museum-style adventures, and hop on a tractor wagon ride that takes you to our apple orchard and pumpkin patch.

Spend time wandering the rows to pick the perfect pumpkin, fill your bags with fresh apples, and treat yourself to warm apple treats and freshly made donuts. Let the kids run around in our outdoor play areas, challenge each other in our yard games and activities, and soak in the crisp country air together.

It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, spread out, and make a full day of real moments – and real fun.

The Apple Orchard opens August 30, 2025

Join us for an Orchard experience the whole family can enjoy! Our Orchard features at least ten varieties of apple trees ripening throughout the season.

Reconnect with nature on our walk to the Orchard – with wagons available on the weekends, free with any Orchard admission! Golf carts are also available to rent, making it easy for the entire family to get around. Don’t miss our Orchard Family Pub, complete with games, a corn play pit for children, and snacks and drinks.

Apples are available to pick on your own or pre-picked in The Market.
