Love this place. I am so happy I was introduced to this orchard as it is now my new local resource for all my baking needs. AND the cider doughnuts are to die for!

Took my kids there for apple picking, was enjoyable and the kids had a ball. Can't complain about lack of apple varieties due to going later in the season. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family.

Bowman orchards is the place to go for apple picking, pumpkin picking and many other options available to get farm fresh produce. You can even stop in to get some pies for thanksgiving (Apple raspberry is a solid 11/10) cider donuts home made ice cream and more. Reminds me of apple orchards when I was younger and keeps that farm feeling alive. Lots of parking and a whole lot of orchard to pick from. Only complaint I have is no hard cider (this is a request I’d like to see hard cider sold here) regardless I’ve stopped looking for any other orchards in or around the area bowman has my business and I intend to keep it that way

Well Google reviews indicated fresh donuts were made, unfortunately that is no longer true, when I arrived I found cider in a cute little store that sold chocolate and other items, across the way was where the donut line was....I noticed I couldn't smell them, waited in line for a bit to find prepackaged donuts and not fresh. I asked why they are prepackaged was informed that there was or could be a lawsuit....I don't know...but either way I left very disappointed, purchased the donuts to be kind, most of them went to waste tho as I went to miles up the road to riverview orchard who does make fresh donuts. I was not impressed at all. Parking was relatively easy, the set up was nice, but don't go there if you want fresh donuts, you won't get them.

Always the annual tradition with my daughter. The apples, cider, and ice cream never disappoint. Cider is the best in the area, hands down. The ice cream is beyond delicious.

Different then I remember but very well organized. We picked our own apples , went into general store got a few gifts then stopped at bakery for fresh apple cider donuts.

This was a great experience, however expensive, I was surprised that we were charged per person to get in in addition to the bag to pick apples.

Best place for apple picking in the immediate area I live. Fastastic atmosphere. I don't mind the prices because it's their farm they can charge what they see fit

Great experience picking apples, delicious and a fun time for kids. The only negative I would say is the prices.. they have a small play area that’s free but a larger play area costs $15 per person to enter with some ‘attractions’ like the apple canon gun, corn maze, pony rides and pull along train/car ride for the kiddos, the horse drawn carriage wasn’t going while we were there. Upon entering the apple orchard it’s $5 entry per person and then they require you to purchase a certain amount of bags- we got the 2 for $50 1/2 bushel bags which seemed to have shrunk in size? So for 4 adults & 2 kids $60 ‘attraction area’ $30 entry to orchard & $50 for apples. Glad parking was free.

This place is nothing but an absolute money grabbing ripoff. 5 of us went apple picking so we were each going to get our own bag, they charged a $25 entry fee for the 5 of us and then wanted $175 for 5 bags for a total of $200, which is absolutely insane. So instead we shared 1 bag between the 5 of us and they charged us $77... to pick your own apples, and that's still absurd. The most insulting part was they were selling bags of already picked apples for $10 less than what it cost to pick your own, they're literally charging you for your own labor.. Lol

I really like Bowman Orchards. I did not pick apples so I can't comment on that. I love their store and the variety of apple types they harvest and sell. Their apple cider vinegar is so good. It is light in color and a little sweeter than what you buy in the supermarket. Their apple butter is rich and delicious.

I’m not one to usually right reviews even when having a bad experience but this was just awful. Not only are you charged $5 a person to pick apples (even for a 3 yr old who’s not really picking anything) then your forced to buy the bigger bag for $34 because the small bag is a 2 person max. So after paying $50 some to pick apples my kids wanted to play which we couldn’t because it would have cost $20 per child to play on a few tires and a dirt pile. It really takes the joy out of a fun day with the family especially telling your children they can’t do something fun due to cost. A few years ago all the activities were free and they weighed your apples for cost. Never again will we be returning.
