Wilklow Orchards

 

As you can see from the above photos, we found ourselves visiting Wilklow Orchards to pick apples yesterday.  Located in the Town of Lloyd, Hamlet of Highland in Ulster County New York the day is guaranteed fun for the whole family.  

Due to COVID-19, reservations are required and allow you to deduct the $5 fee from your entrance price.  Children under 5 are free.  Dogs are welcome and the orchard is very pet friendly.  Face masks are also a requirement for anyone entering.  

Parking is free and plentiful across the street at Highland high school.  The set up is very nice with many tables outside, live music, a bakery selling apple pie and cider donuts and even a cart which sells beer and hard cider.  The orchard itself is on a hill, and can be steep at some points but the trees are plentiful offering many different kinds of apples.  Paper maps were handed out when we paid showing where they’re located.  Arriving at the top of the orchard you have a very pretty view of the surrounding foliage as you look down on what you just walked up.  

I highly recommend it for Apple picking lovers and anyone looking to have some fall out door fun.
