Offering you the pick of our orchard
Bring the family, bring a friend, bring your appetite and come to Fieldstone Orchard to pick your own flavor-filled, healthful fruits and vegetables. We're an easy drive from Kansas City, Topeka, Lawrence and surrounding towns or Emporia (see map).
When was the last time you tasted an apple picked right off the tree? Or snapped off an asparagus tip and popped it in your mouth? Do you remember picking blackberries or strawberries and marveling at how intense those fresh flavors tasted? You can still do that, at Fieldstone Orchard & Farm.
Many children these days have little knowledge of where food actually comes from. They think it comes from a store. Bringing your children to Fieldstone Orchard will give them a sense of the wonder of nature's bounty. It's a fun way to grow in appreciation of what real farms actually do and how fruits and vegetables start their trip to our homes.
Fruits and vegetables are cornerstones of a healthy diet. They're naturally low in fat and cholesterol and high in vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. There's no better way to set an example for kids about healthy dietary choices than to bring them out to pick their own fruit.
Our orchard is yours for the picking. You decide the best-looking fruit to pick, and that's what you take home. We’ve identified areas in the orchard where the fruit is ripe and ready, and we've mowed the paths for your convenience. We even provide staff in the orchard to answer your questions and help you bring your pickings back to our U-Pick Headquarters.
Our customers tell us the experience of picking fruit at Fieldstone is one that children remember for the rest of their lives. So pack a lunch and share a meal at the Refreshment Area we've provided. See how many different tastes you can identify in our many varieties of heirloom apples. Try a fresh cider slushie, or buy a fresh jug of apple cider to crack open there and take home later.
