U-Pick Apples

A trip to Anderson Orchard to pick-your-own apples is an experience that will bring lasting memories for your entire family. It has become a family tradition for many. With more than 40 acres of apple trees consisting of over 18 varieties to choose from throughout the growing season, Anderson Orchard is a great destination for a day of family fun.

For specific starting dates of our apple varieties, please call us at (317) 861-4025, as dates can vary from year to year.

We do not allow driving in our orchard. We do encourage you to bring along a wagon to help with your children and apples. We also have a tractor and wagon running continuously on the weekends starting around the first of September for your convenience getting to and from our pick-your-own apple trees.

Pick-your-own apples are available every day. You must use our bags for apple picking. The bags range from ½ peck to ½ bushel.

All apples store best when refrigerated.
