Had an amazing time. Loved how small and cute it was. I was originally going to just get pumpkins, so it was happy to see there were other things to do. The young lady telling us about the apples was so pleasant and friendly. The apple slushy was SO good. Spent about an hour and half… would highly recommend.

We had a very pleasant experience here. As a "POC," I will add how we were greeted and treated. So, we arrived and everyone seemed pleasant. We didn't get any uneasy stares and the staff was welcoming and answered all our questions. We even got to see the owner at the end of our trip. He was very nice and gave us a quick tour of the event space they are working on for future use. It was a pleasure speaking directly to him.The food truck had apple cider slushies and doughnuts. I didn't take a photo of the slushie, but it was good. The doughnut 🍩 was moist and tasty. They had other items that were not too expensive. It's kid-friendly. It was drizzling rain so we didn't stay longer than one hour and a half. We picked some apples. They were fresh and tasty. They have a gift shop.Go, and enjoy yourselves. Oh, they do have bunnies, chickens, and goats to enjoy too. Fun times, we recommend a visit to the orchard.I collect magnets, shot glasses, and mugs on my vacations and I hope they will add them to their gift shop with their orchard name on them in the future.

Beautiful orchard, wasn't busy at all when we showed up. The carmel apples were the best I've ever had! The apple cider was delicious as well. The only reason I'm rating 4, instead of 5 is because you have to call ahead of time in order to pick apples.

Annual stop for us.I have seen lots of changes over the years, they continue to improve the experience.With small kids, you can take them on a hay ride around the orchard, there are pumpkins for sale, this year they had goats to look at.The apple picking experience is always a treat. You get the opportunity to select and pick the apple you want.The apple cookies were a favorite, however, this year the did not have it...there is a replacement and that one is not as good in our opinion.Other than the change in the cookie, this was as always a good experience.While you visit, you will have the opportunity to enjoy their snack truck....purchase is available for Apple brats and apple donuts.

We had a great experience apple picking here yesterday! The apples were plentiful and picking was easy; many trees had lower branches so that even the youngest guests could get in on the fun. Right now, the Honeycrisp and Cortland apples are available for U-pick, with more varieties in the store pre-picked.I would highly recommend picking up some baked goods, both the apple cookies and apple turnover were fabulous! Overall, we loved the farm- friendly staff, some live music (visited on a Saturday), and delicious apples. Quintessential fall activity, we will be back next year!

Well organized orchard with high quality apples, delicious treats, as well as activities. We picked Cortland and SweeTango - very good apples that were quite different from each other. My wife had an apple donut, which was hot, fresh, and actually apply. Maybe the best orchard donut we've ever had. There was nice music when we went on Sunday afternoon and very ample space to pick and relax. I was very pleased that there were enough people there to make it feel lively but much less than some other orchards (a relief under all circumstances but especially during a pandemic). And the whole trip was predicated on an orchard that allows dogs - so thank you for being welcoming to our furry friend.

I've been coming here since I was a little kid. It's amazing how many things they've added over time. Lots of food trucks, animals, and kids activities. Also got to pick some pumpkins and apples on the same day! Very fun.

What a great spot very beautiful and scenic with plenty to do. We make it a yearly day out and just take in some of the great apples and pumpkins while doing outdoor fall activities. The people are great here and very helpful.

We went on a beautiful weekday and weren't able to pick any apples which was a bummer. The nature trail was pretty and we got to see some wild life. The small corn pit and petting zoo are charming.

Was a decent place but i will not be going back, prices are very high and thats fine but when paying them you expect the staff to be atleast friendly and the cashier was snotty to me for no reason. Way better orchards and pumpkin patches to visit then this place. Just my humble opinion

We really enjoy going here. The apples are really good. I've tried several varieties and there isn't one I haven't liked. The donuts are delicious too! I love that there's live music sometimes, and it's just a nice relaxing place to spend time outside.

Took my parents here for a fun couple hours - they’re from out of state and really enjoyed the orchard and the vendors there this weekend. I double checked to make sure that this place is dog friendly on their website, which they are as long as the dogs are “friendly and leashed.” I, never being there before with my dog and there not being a “no dogs” sign outside, did not know that the main building does not allow dogs. So when I was scolded by a worker there when we entered the building, I apologized and said I didn’t see a sign and was walking out when she very rudely said, “there’s food in here.” But how are we supposed to know that when there is not a single sign outside the building saying there is food in there and to please not bring dogs in. I was a bit taken aback by how rude the worker was to me and my dog, especially when we had such a good experience with literally every other worker and visitor there. I was disappointed with how rude she was, especially considering how this is supposed to be such a family friendly atmosphere. All in all, my parents and I had a great time. My dog had a great time. Just don’t bring your dog into the unlabeled or signed “main building.”

LUV this place. Great to take kids n family to. Can sample varieties before you buy. Their apple cider and the caramel are fantastic. I stock up for over the winter.

We've always liked this orchard, but now there is no tasting/sampling available. We bought apple scones--someone forgot to put apples into them. They were pretty poor. It's easy to spend plenty here and this visit finds us very disappointed.

Cute place with animals to look at, hay to play in, a tractor to climb on, and apple goods to buy. Downside was that you couldn't pick apples during the week which we thought was odd

Went strawberry picking today. How fun! Thanks, Sam, for showing us around. We need to come back during the fall for some apple-picking next!

The shop has a bunch of tasty treats, the apples are delicious, the land is gorgeous, honestly I have nothing bad to say about this place. Loved seeing a bunch of friendly animals as well and seriously, the food you can get there is fantastic.

The best donut of my life, (and I don't make that statement lightly) That some would have me coming here as often as possible.They also have great apples and offer your "standard Orchard experience" Staff was all helpful and friendly. A great place.

Such a lovely place! Lots of different kinds of apples and the staff are very knowledgeable.There's a trail of you want to go on a walk, goats to pet, chickens, bunnies, and a store for novelties and apple based pastries and jams!

I took my young nephew strawberry picking, and we had a wonderful experience. Pleasant Valley is our go-to local orchard for strawberry picking, pumpkins, and, of course, apples. Very nice family owned and operated business in our community.

A 'pick-your-own' apple orchard + family friendly petting zoo. (You can buy pre-bagged apples too).

1st time visit and was impressed! So many pretty apple trees, wagon rides, animals and some pop-up vendors on this Sunday. Tried an apple brat, apple donuts and the best caramel apple I’ve had in many years! (Don’t know what red apple was used-zestar?!) I will be back again.

Went there to buy apples. Staff friendly explained each type of apple they had best uses for each and little bit history too. A band was setting up to play on the Sat we were there would be a nice place to spend afternoon. Something for everyone to enjoy.

Apples, pastries, music, cider, gifts, just like years past, a great way to spend an autumn afternoon. Been coming here for years and plan to continue for years to come.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The apples that were available were delicious. I'm new to trying Sweet Tango apples and they for real taste like Candy. So good. My son had a great time picking apples for us and I have to say the live music was beautiful.

Beautiful country setting. Well organized, glad to pickup our favorite flavors, and we plan for a couple more visits before the end of October.

We have frequented this orchard for several years. It has been gratifying to watch them grow their business. They offer quality products.

Great experience with apple picking. Not too gimmicky like other orchards. Great apple cider donuts 😋
