We went apple picking at the Eckerts Grafton Farm. I liked that it is a small farm, which made it less crowded. They had peddle cars, tubes and maze for the kids to play. The tractor ride to the orchard was fun. We picked Jonathan and Pixie Crunch apples fresh from the trees. The Pixie Crunch apples were delicious to eat. The fun part was you could eat as many as you want in the orchard! Their country store sold a variety of items such as candies, pastas, pickled items, fresh fruits, pies, baked goods, salsa’s and ciders. This was my first time to this location and will definitely be back again. Thank you Eckert’s for the beautiful family memories!!

It was a Friday morning, so not crowded. Fun things to do for the kids. This one did not charge an arm and a leg $2.50 per person. Wagon ride, apples & pumpkins. Apples a little pricey $1.99 a pound. Pumpkins $.68 a pound, but they way more than you think for the size. Cute little store, prices good. Winery on premise, but weren't serving food. Great family & friends day.

We went apple picking. Everyone working was friendly and knowledgeable. There werenple ty of activities for the kids; a maze, some peddle cars, a place ground, and some giant tubes to roll and race in. Oh and lots of photo ops everywhere. The apples we picked were perfect for my homemade apple pie. This was my first time to this location but we will definitely be back again.

This place is great to take your kids to. There is apple picking, pumpkin picking, tricycle track, a playground, a small theater, and a store to buy the many things this farm makes. I highly recommend taking your kids here

One of my family's great annual traditions is picking fruit at Eckert's. While it's true that their prices are similar to a grocery store's, nothing beats the pleasure of picking your own berries, peaches, etc.You pay by weight, and get to enjoy snacking on fresh fruit - fruit you KNOW is fresh because you personally took it off the tree.You also pay a per person entrance fee, which doesn't bother me - I'm sure it covers an operating cost, but really, if you consider how much fruit you and the kids eat while you're in the fields, there's not much room to complain about the entry fee.There is a restroom areas with portable toilets. Also, there is a hand washing station to use before and after fruit picking.There is a playground area for kids (and adults) to play in after the "work" is done.I look forward to coming here for every picking season.

We had a great time the staff was very friendly. I was in town and wanted to do something different with the great nieces. They were running a promotion and it worked out great. The girls and I had a great time.

We go apple picking every year at Eckerts. Very neat place, small play area for kids. I wish there were more things to do in the main area (better playground, more animals, etc) but overall it's an enjoyable time

We have so many fond memories of going to Eckerts Grafton Farm when our kids were young. My now grown kids still enjoy apple picking but always say Eckerts is the best! We no longer live in the area, so sadly we have to settle for others farms here in the PNW.

I absolutely adore this place! I've been coming to Eckerts every year for my father's birthday ever since I was born. The apples are amazing and so are the people. We love the feeling of going out and walking among the rows of trees.

As a family we had a wonderful time. Staff was completely friendly. Just a suggestion- maybe put in a real slide. My autistic son was very scared when it came time to get down. Daddy had to go up and help as best he could. They both tumbled a bit and landed on their bottom.

Great little farm with a big farm price tag. My only complaint is how costly this place is. It was $21 just to go on the field and then we managed to pay an additional $40 for apples. For the price they charge you would think they would stay on top of bathroom necessities, such as soap and paper towels or even have indoor facilities, but, they don't.The play area was great and there were plenty of areas to take photos. The ground are well taken care of and clean. But because of the cost we will likely not visit again for a while.

A fun place to visit with friends and family. Plenty of parking. Large general store with fresh apples, cider, pumpkins, canned goods, pies and more. Picnic tables to eat at. Hayrides around the property. Lots of photo opportunities.

This is a cute little place to pick apples and pumpkins or other seasonal fruits. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Nothing crazy but a good way to spend a few hours on the weekend with friends or family.

Interesting farm, very informative and delicious apples, especially the Fuji apples. We went on a cold October Monday. No crowd. Picking apples was fun. So many to choose from.

Spent Sunday afternoon with son and granddaughter and this was our second stop of the day. We rode the wagon down to pick our own peaches and we picked about $20 worth which was about 20 peaches because they wait about a pound of piece. It was a nice place to visit. There was a play area for the kids, the bathrooms are right out front, there was ample parking, it has handicapped parking. The only thing I didn't like about it was the rock area that you had to walk to to get to the little store area that you had to go in because it was so far and walking with a cane it's really hard because there's really nowhere to sit down until you get almost up there. As you will see you in the picture how far it is from the parking lot to the little store. I'd say all in all it was a very fun and pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

This is a great place to go with your family and can become a tradition for many. Picking the apples during Apple season shopping in the country store for delicious treats freshly baked there faster offer samples riding around the orchard is a great time for young and old. And nothing beats picking Your pumpkins for Halloween fall is my favorite time to go here

Best place to pick apples, peaches, pumpkins, blackberries! Has a play area for the kids and even a place to feed small animals. Live music, country store, little bit of everything. Make sure to try the Honeycrisp apples!

Grafton Winery first then follow your wine tasting up with peach pickin'. Their Crest Haven peaches are supremely flavorful! Can't wait to bake these into some delicious vegan cobblers!

It was a nice area. Give yourself more time if you plan on taking the ferry. There is a lot of awesome stuff to see!!!

Fun place to take the family - or just enjoy a drink at the winery. It’s pretty much in the middle of nowhere but worth the drive to spend a few hours there. The kids enjoyed the play area and feeding the goats. We took a ride out to the pick your own apple section. Quick stop by the pumpkins - plenty of choices for both of these. Staff was friendly, everyone was enjoying their day.

Drove 40 miles for some decent peaches and corn. Handicapped access is non existent! Only parking for handicapped is many yards from the store on gravel. Couldn't even get out of the car. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.
