ROAD TRIPPING - Apple Annie’s Orchard Worth the Drive

There’s plenty of green scenery in southern AZ and plenty of fresh fruit and produce as well. Load the family in the car and head down to Apple Annie’s in Wilcox for a day of fruit pulling & produce picking. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Apple Annie’s is actually two locations — one grows apples, peaches and pairs and the site just down the road grows a wide variety of produce.

Admission & parking are free and prices are economical. You can’t get fresher tasting than farm picked. Bring a hat to avoid the sun and a good pair of sneakers if you plan on picking yourself. Prices are a bit cheaper if you do, but they also sell pre-picked that provides the same delicious flavor. There is fudge, burgers and the like at the snack shack on weekends. Call ahead to get restaurant times. For The Kids: Annie’s is very kid and pet friendly so don’t hesitate to bring fido (on a leash) and the rug munchkins.

 

Events: Apple Harvest Celebration. September 1-3, 8-9, 15-16. Time: 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM

Celebrate the peak of the apple season with tree-ripened Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Rome Beauty apples. You can pick yourself or select from already picked apples. Come early to enjoy the delicious "All You Can Eat" pancake breakfast served with hot apple topping or cider syrup, served each day from 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM. Apple-smoked burger lunches will be served from 11:30 AM – 4 PM. FREE wagon rides will take you to the orchards for picking. Asian pears will also be available for picking. Homemade apple pies are baked fresh daily, and don’t miss the delicious "apple crumb pie ice cream," made in our Amish ice cream freezer
