Apple Farms & Orchards in McHenry County, IL

U-Pick Season Runs Every Fall

Come fall, McHenry County's orchards open their rows and let you pick straight off the tree. No middleman, no plastic bag from the grocery store. Most farms pair the picking with fresh-pressed cider, warm donuts, and a wagon ride if you've got the kids in tow. It's become one of the region's defining fall traditions, and for good reason: there's something satisfying about hauling home a bushel you picked yourself. Orchards and u-pick details are below:
