Holmberg Orchards Insider Tips
- Visit early on weekends. This destination really draws a crowd and it is no wonder why. It's practically perfect in every way.
- If you have a large family like I do, limit them to a certain number of apples to pick of each kind because the volume really adds up quickly! You can always go back to visit again.
- There is ample parking and when it is super busy, there are workers directing traffic and helping drivers secure parking
- I've tried all of the apple varieties, but the Winesap apples were amazing to bake with. I've never seen that variety at other orchards. I highly recommend them if you can catch them in season.
