Key Insights:
  • Lunch was delicious, sharing steak tacos, BBQ sandwich and apple fritter with ice cream.
  • Be prepared to walk and be outside most of time, while there are plenty of places to sit everything is spread out among the beautiful mountainous setting.
  • Indoor shopping was like a variety store soth apples, pies, hot sauce, jellies and Tshirts.
  • This was incorrect add the only option other than upick that was open was petting the animals(which was fun) in which you had to walk through their creepy nursery rhyme trail to get to.
  • The small orchard was fine given the weather but the pungent smell of rotting apples and manure was very off putting.
