Welcome to Candy Apple Orchard's web site ... 
 

Our opening date for this season is Sunday, September 29!! We are busy with the process of getting set up for apple picking and are looking forward to our opening day!!

There are several orchards on South Slope Road in Emmett that are already open with other seasonal fruit.  The Gem County Chamber of Commerce Website has an orchard map that will help you find other fruit while we wait a couple of weeks for the apples to ripen.

The order for butters, salsas, and jams for the 2024 season has arrived!!  I was gifted some blackberries and made a batch of no sugar blackberry jam, I plan to try that with a few other fruit varieties as well.

We appreciate all our friends and family who support our orchard and we are looking forward to making new friends this year!  Hope to see you here in in a couple of weeks!!

 
We are truely blessed!!

Our orchard has a variety of trees including Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Rome Beauties.  The Golden Delicious have a very good flavor and make a great applesauce and dried apples.  Red Delicious, one of the most famous American varieties, are wonderful in Waldorf Salad. The Rome apples are a firm, slightly tart apple that are great for applesauce, caramel apples, apple pies, apple dumplings, baked apples, and apple crisps.  All three are a good eating apple depending on your preference and are much better picked from the tree than from the grocery store.
 
All u-pick varieties are---- priced at $1.00 per pound.

We have gotten a number of requests from local photograhers wanting to take professional family photos in the orchard duiring either blossom or apple season.  We have found that the structure of our orchard, two rows of trees circling our property, does not provide the dense orchard feel that most are looking for resulting in trespasses onto the neighboring orchards.  But, call me with your interest and I will share with you some options.

 We will plan to open a limited Field Trip schedule again in 2024.  We always enjoy sharing orchard information with school groups and look forward to seeing you again this year.
 
Candy Apple Orchard is also making Reisinger Honey available to our customers who have an interest in local honey. 
    
Our goal is to make your visit to our orchard  a family adventure that you will want to repeat every year as some of our guests already do.
 
We look forward to seeing you again this apple season!
