Stumbled across this little apple orchard off 61 and decided to stop in to see if the had home made pies, and OMG do they have the pies.. wow de assortment of homemade pies and yes the Apple pie was delicious. Also the cider and cinnamon donuts were out of this world. This place is a must stop at and try.
Great place and great atmosphere!
Owners are very nice and will happily show you their property with all the apple and cherry trees and berries. They should be very proud of what they offer to the surrounding communities. Fresh baked goods and doughnuts. Too much stuff to list.

The Fruitful Orchard And Cider Mill is a lively place that offers baked goods, cider, and other treats. Visitors can watch the cider-making process through a window. Their baked goods, especially the cider and sugar/cinnamon donuts, are highly praised. The orchard is charming and perfect for a relaxing walk among apple and cherry trees and berries. Fresh pumpkin and apple donuts, caramel apples, and cider are available, along with unique items in the gift shop. The orchard grows Empire and Snow Apples, delighting apple lovers.
The location is family-friendly, with fresh donuts, cinnamon rolls, breads, and more baked locally by Amish. Delicious cider and cider slushies are popular choices, and there are hard cider options for adults. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making visitors feel welcome. Many customers enjoy the fresh apple pie with crumb topping, and others appreciate the apple bread, although it can be a bit doughy. The apple slushy and apple cider are also favorites, tasting fresh and delicious. Visitors often buy items in jars for later and enjoy doughnuts, especially the Plain flavor, with some planning to try the Apple Cider flavor next time.
While some items like the apple fritters are smaller for the price, the homemade chips from a food truck—loaded with pork, cheese, and sour cream—are large and tasty. The hayride costs $2.50 per person and lasts about 12 to 15 minutes, though some visitors choose not to take it. The porta potties are small and in need of more facilities, including a handicap-accessible one, as the current ones are uncomfortable and need cleaning. Despite these minor issues, the store has cute merchandise, and many guests look forward to trying the fresh bread and other treats during their visit.
