“Apple Hills offers more”

Apple Hill

Jun 19, 2008

Apple hills is first and foremost a great place for U-Pick fruits. In season (times listed on their site), their fruit is full and tasty. They offer Apples, Raspberries, Strawberries and Blueberries.

The main building has been built up over the last ten years to include a convenient place to have a home made snacks, lunch or breakfast. The kitchen hours seem somewhat odd to us since we forget they close more early than we expect. It is usally good to grab some good eats before heading to the field. They sell many of their home grown produce in this main building which resembles a general store.

They never had a petting 'Zoo' and I beleive they never advertised one. Apple Hills does occasionally have animals out in the open which may be pet (four or five sheep).

Comparing this business to Iron Kettle Farm is like comparing strawberries to bananas, they are in different areas and contain different nutrients :-). Iron Kettle is not a U-Pick fruit farm, and they seem to make most of their profit from pumpkins and children activities.

This is supposed to be a quaint place to have lunch, pick some fruit, and see a petting "zoo". We felt we wasted the whole day. The young staff was rude and rowdy - putting the food away before serving was supposed to be over and grabbing plates and cups off our table without even asking if we were done.

The petting "zoo" only had a few sheep and the staff told us there was not petting "zoo"!

The plastic tables and chairs inside were dirty and there were lots of flies.

The main purpose seemed to be the store - which sold commercial stuff - not true farm/homemade items.

I e-mailed the owner about the above complaints and I received a very hostile reponse letting me know how she will back up her staff anytime over a "rotten" customer. She also chided me for writing an e-mail instead of "confronting" them directly when we were there. Sorry - that is something we do not do, unless safety is the issue!!

For families - a much better experience is to be had at Iron Kettle farm in Candor, NY - they don't offer fruit picking - but we had a nice time there and the staff was friendly.
