Spent a nice day with family here and it was a good experience. First time apple picking and it truly made me a fan. I would definitely visit in the future

This orchard has large varieties of apples and fall treats. Their apple cider donut is so delicious. They also have pumpkin patch, corn maze, live music. They give ride with their tractors within the orchard. It’s family friendly farm for a perfect family day.

We had a wonderful time at Harbes Orchard today. The corn maze was super fun for the kids, and they had a wide variety of apples to choose from. We also picked pumpkins which was nice.

Overpriced! Expect to pay $$l. The entrance ticket is ~$28 per person and includes a little tote of apples and a corn maze entrance (typically completed in 5-10 min). The corn is $5? !

Great activities for the family and an abundance of various apples to pick from! Food options were limited at the stand but were delicious.

We visited Harbes Apple Orchard at the start of Apple picking season on 9/17. They had a great variety of apples to pick like, fiji, Gala, and honeycrisp type of apples. After we had kettle cooked popcorn, roasted corn and apple cider beer brewed on site.

Asked an employee if we had to pay the entrance fee ($22) if we just wanted to pick up some cider and apple cider donuts. We turned away. Plenty of other options around the area where we don’t have to pay an entrance fee to pick up goods. If I am wrong about this, and there is a separate place to get those items without paying a fee beforehand, I will remove my review!

This place definitely has some pros and cons to it. Pros: plenty of parking, lots of varieties of apples to be picked and even late in the season there were still apples to be picked. The beer they had available as well as the wine were delicious and despite the large numbers of guests, this orchard didn't feel overcrowded.
Cons: very expensive, paid $22 a person to be able to pick 3 pounds of apples. Nobody was directing traffic where you paid to enter so it was extremely unorganized which made it very easy for line cutting. If you are looking for baked goods this isn't the place to go. Other than apple cider donuts there were no baked goods to buy (you'd think they would at least offer a variety of pies, breads or cakes to purchase).

We went for Apple picking and had an amazing time! There’s plenty of entertainment to wear your kids out and enough food beverages to keep the adults happy too. This is our second year going and I think we’ll make this a regular occurrence… until we move back to California that is:)

All in all, this was a fun experience with family and friends. Orchard was well kept, staff was available throughout the area for help, snacks were available and live music was in the air. What's keeping this from a 5 review is I do think it was over priced, especially if you're coming with a large family.

Loved everything except the fact that today when we was walking out from the pumpkin patch a worker/white kid with a black beanie and the little ball on the top with sun glasses had the audacity to stop me, my younger daughter, aunt and sister. He asked if we had the bracelets for the entrance and stated “ wanted to make sure”…… hmmmm I questioned myself why I didn’t see him stop the others that looked like him and what in his right mind made him think it’s easy to walk in a place where you have to pay entrance without paying? Mind you I stood standing there to make sure afterwards if he asked anyone else which he didn’t. I questioned myself bc I didn’t have the same physical features as he did? He dare to question? Not sure how to feel about this situation. I think this employee in specific should have a better training and not make the same people that bring money into this place feel so uncomfortable. Am not sure if he belongs there?

Very disappointing.they should inform people before they spend money on bags to pick apples. There were no apples left. Apples were all on the ground. The area which had an abundance of apples was roped off!

Excellent staff, excellent apples, loved the live music by Matt Taylor. Worth every cent, despite how expensive it seems. Just make sure you go in early before apples are all gone.

They have a huge orchard full of nectarines, peaches, apples, corns, eggplants, squash and so much more. Went with family, loved the experience.

We loved this place. A little expensive but 100% worth it. Best part was the Robin Hood actors in the corn maze. The 2 people at the entrance were fantastic. (Sun Oct 17th) All the staff were helpful and friendly. The apple/pumpkin picking, food and live music was great. We'll be back next year! Huzzah!
