I've been wanting a bag of local apples and I won't buy them out of season again. They get frozen and thawed to sell and they taste weird and are spongey. Peanut butter isn't even making them taste better.

Loved our day at B J Reece Orchards. The best. We enjoyed the petting farm experience very much too. A well maintained property. The Apple Cider Donuts and the fried pies from their daily fresh bakery are a must try. Loved the fried pecan pie the most. Definitely recommend.Thanks so much for visiting and so glad you enjoyed your day with us! Blessings! 🍎😊

Loved our time here picking apples and spending time in the petting zoo. Animals were very well cared for and and the property was absolutely beautiful. We were there late in the season last year so we got to walk way to the back of the property find apples. We loved this because we were able to see more of the property!Thank you so much for visiting and so glad you enjoyed your day with us!! We think it is beautiful up here too! Blessings! 🍎😊

What's the least busiest day/time to go? I hear the crowds can get quite large and I want to avoid that.

Naomi Love | Feb 9, 2021
Caprice Walker | Feb 10, 2021

We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it was not crowded at all. However, it was overcast and did start raining on us, so maybe that's the key. Go when it's going to rain. Lol!

Is there a another location where I can buy pies outside of the orchard/apple house? I thought I saw another location but I could be mistaking.

Whitney Jordan | Feb 9, 2021
DONALD BURRAGE (Daddyof3) | Feb 10, 2021

There are a bunch of other places to buy pies and things in the area but that is the only location I know of to buy that brand. Never tried other places so I can't say if they are better or worse but I can say that by Reece has very good pies and is worth the traffic/people. Go on a weekday to avoid the crowds but know that half of the orchard and attractions are closed so its a trade off

How much per pound are the U-pick apples?

Curtis Walls | Feb 9, 2021
Theresa Stark | Feb 10, 2021

$5 per person for admission. Then you pay for your apple bag. 1 peck (or about 10-12 lbs) is $14. The full price list can be found at this link: http://www.reeceorchards.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ReeceOrchards-WeekendFunPricing.pdf

What are the prices

Jennifer Collins | Feb 10, 2018
Alex Fiser | Feb 11, 2018

Look on GROUPON... We saved $69 on a 4 person Family Fun Pack. was $95 for all the bells and whistles, including a Peck of apples, minus Zip Line. There are certainly less expensive options You can pay individually for only certain activities which is less expensive.
