I have always enjoyed stopping at this apple orchard and looking at/ picking out raspberries, squash and other produce here! Such a huge variety of squashes and gourds in the fall and their raspberries are delicious. Plenty of parking and very friendly farmers here.

Had a wonderful experience, was greeted at the front by the owner. Explained the process. It is posted with the prices that if there is a minimum $4 fee going into the field. They have to protect the farm products. I saw a few half eaten apples and stepped on pumpkins. So it's understandable. I will definitely be back. Lots to choose from. Definitely not a place for little kids. This is a real orchard. Not just for pumpkins.

This is one of the few places I have found where you can still go out in a field and pick your own stuff. We have generally gone for pumpkins, but they seem to have just about everything you might want (apples and all kinds of veggies....and raspberries). The guys are nice. We like this place and go back every year for pumpkins.

My family visited Knapton’s Orchard and did NOT feel welcomed or comfortable at all due to the fact that the majority of our time there, we were being stalked by the elderly man (known as "Pops" or "Mel"). Our group consisted of adults and kids and, while picking raspberries, he drove up to us in his kart and just sat there… watching and lingering around us. Afterwards, we went to pick apples and he again followed us there… watching and lingering… and even proceeded to literally yell at some of the kids accusing them of “throwing apples” and stating – more than once during our time there – that it was “a serious apple-picking farm”. Once we were finished, we went to the entry area to pay for our fruits, and again, he followed us there… watching and lingering, and he made sure we were all buying something and made it known that if no one was going to purchase anything, that there is a $4 fee for each person. I tried to tell him that we were all going to purchase something, but he was too busy calculating the $4 headcount to even hear me. Anyway, I finally make my purchase and of course voice my/our frustration of how we were being treated by him during our entire visit and how he did not make us feel welcomed or comfortable at all specifically only targeting us/our group the entire time. Of course the staff are this man’s kids so of course they defend him claiming “he is the nicest man” and “he’s not racist”. Sure. Ok. I expected THAT response. I’m sure he is … if you look a certain way.It’s unfortunate our family outing had to end like that and that the kids had to witness such gross racism. Needless to say, you will never see us there again. We will be spreading the word to allies of anti-hate and anti-racism.

A lovely orchard to enjoy the bounty of the fall harvest! Apples, pumpkins, flowers, gourds, raspberries. With friendly staff who clearly care for the land and their customers.

We didn't expect racism and rudeness when we visited this orchard today, but yet there it is! My sisters and I were at the raspberry bushes with their kids. We are Asians. This man drove by in his cart, and I first noticed him, sitting there watching us, then he circled around us over and over again, constantly staring. Whenever he drove by other white families with little kids, he didn't pay any attention to them, but he continued to drive around us and watched. We started walking towards the apple trees in the back, and he followed behind in his cart. He pulled to the side, and I watched him walk around slowly behind the kids. Wherever they went, he was standing nearby. One of my nephews, who is 7 years old, pulled an apple from the tree, and another apple dropped to the ground. He started yelling, "I saw that boy throw an apple." I said, "He didn't throw it, the apple dropped." He replied, "I saw him throw it. This is not a playground! Get what you need and leave!!!!" We walked back to the front, and he followed us there, too. When it was our turn to check out, he made sure he was the one behind the counter so he could charge for everything he thought we picked. He asked my sister how full was the basket of raspberries before we got to the counter!!!! He also told my other sister that if we ended up not "buying" anything, he would charge $4 for each person in our group. Seriously?????? He didn't ask anyone else. I did complain about how he drove around and watched only us the whole time we were there to another guy who works there, but it turned out, the old guy is his father!!!!! Wow....the place is shit! Not only are they rude, and racist, but the orchard is tiny, and picking is slim! Don't waste your time or money!!!!! It's not worth it! He clearly was looking for a reason to tell us to leave.

It was a great time picking delicious raspberries and apples. Also had some hot peppers. They have lots of vegetables you can pick or dig up yourself, lots of flowers you can cut yourself to make a beautiful bouquet. All the pumpkins you could want and decorative squashes. Also have sweet corn. It was a good time!
