Aamodt's Apple Farm sells THE BEST apples anywhere. The Aamodt family is responsible for creating 'apple snobs' of myself and my daughter back in 2009 I pulled into the farm on my way to watch my daughter's Cross Country Team run in one of their invitationals. I was in a hurry so I grabbed a few bags of the new 'Honeycrisp' variety. Three weeks later the two of us had devoured all 24 apples. I made a special trip back just to get more! From then on, we both just could not eat any other apples. I now live in Boise, ID. They SELL 'honeycrisp' apples but they are not the same. So now I have apples shipped to me so I can still enjoy eating apples. The family is about the warmest, friendliest and most knowledgeable orchard managers you will EVER meet. Please just sample their apples. Be prepared... you might not ever eat an apple grown anywhere else again!
We really enjoyed our time here. Great social distancing measures and wonderful treats. My son enjoyed feeding the goats and we loved the brats, kettle corn, apple cider donuts, and apples. Not as "touristy" as other orchards and no entry fee. Beautiful place!
The staff are friendly and the grounds are well kept. We didn't want to pick our own apples, we just went to play, see the goats and buy baked goods.
It's a wide open vineyard and orchard. There are three little playgrounds the kids can climb around on, a few tractors the kids can take rides on our just touch. The goats of course are friendly and there for petting.
They have a nicely spaced picnic setup both by the food and by the playgrounds. We spent a couple hours there and I have two under 2 years of age.
It seems sparse upon arrival, but there is quite a bit to explore.
