Pippin Orchard

Nice place to get apples however it is very expensive compared to other places ($ 23 Big bag of apples) The apples are really good though I have to say, it is a really nice place to go to pick up some fresh fruit. It also would be a good place to bring kids too.

Holy moly. This place was EXPENSIVE. Well over $ 20 for a very small bag of apples. They only give you three rows of trees to choose from (at least in late September 2015); the rest are roped off.
The cider donuts were fine and the apples were okay as well. They have a decent selection of gourds and other seasonal treats. However, if you’re looking for the quintessential apple-​picking experience, I’d advise you to look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you have numerous little kids and are looking for a contained, easy apple-​picking experience, then this could be a great option for you.

So I found this place out of the blue just to do apple picking, but they had so much more they had local honey, all sorts of homemade pies, apples for days, I had so much fun and left with some of their apple cider and cookies n cream fudge. Definitely have to go back next year when apples are in season.

$ 23 for a mesh sack that you can fill with apples slightly larger than a 10lb bag of potato. Staff was friendly. We did not see pole pickers readily available and people were super nice and were handing off their poles to others when they were done. We did the same. Apple trees were not marked. I would have liked to have known what kind of apples they were. The sack will get filled within 10 – 15 minutes of apple picking. The apples are massive and tasty. Very juicy. The prices for doughnuts, pumpkins and candy apples (2.50) were very reasonable. We are planning on making another trip there.
Limited parking, however street parking is available.
THEY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS
I put that in caps as it was not clearly posted anywhere on their Facebook site, Unilocal and so on.

Nice place with variety, but expensive to fill a bag ($ 23!) with apples from non-​labeled trees.

Enjoyed my time ;it was the first time I’ve visited an orchard farm. I first bought a bag ($ 3) to fill with apples. There is an inside where you can purchase items and I believe buy pies. Munched on an apples, while I walked around, and had tons left over, after I was home and made my desserts.

I was very disappointed in the price and selection of apples here. I found it very expensive for the number of trees we were allowed to select from. Also, the variety of trees are not marked, so you really need to sample the apples before you pick. We may have waited a little late in the season, but I know I’ve been to other orchards in Greenville and the experience was completely different. I definitely wont return.

It was so expensive for one bag of apples, the trees had been almost picked clean and all the food trees filled with beautiful apples were in the restricted section. There weren’t even any signs in the orchard to indicate what kind of apples were there. We spoke to the woman about being able to go to the better trees and she was unpleasant and rude. I will not be coming back

My fiancé and I have been going to Pippin for apple picking for the past few years and had been very pleased with our experience there, but this year was just awful! They upped the price yet again, of course. Once we paid for our bag and headed out to pick we came to find very slim pickings. Some trees in the designated picking area were completely empty, some were full of rotting apples, and others full of under ripe apples! All of the semi decent apples were at the very top of the trees and did we get any sort of extension stick to reach them? Nope. It took us awhile just to fill our bag and get our money’s worth. I’m not sure if we came to early or late in the season or the weather had something to do with the poor quality, but it wasn’t the fun, fall experience I was looking for.
This was definitely the worst apple picking experience I’ve ever had. I’m sorry to say that next year we’ll definitely be finding somewhere new to do our apple picking.

I went to Pippin Orchard today with my mom and I thought it was really cute. We didn’t pick our own apples (bought a bag though.) but they had a nice selection some of them were huge!!! They had a nice little selection inside of pies, donuts, fudge, jam etc. and cider of course. We ended up buying a few different things and overall I was happy with the overall experience :)

Visited the Orchard a couple of weeks ago. It was a picture perfect Indian summer day and our family joined together to enjoy a memorable family outing picking apples. We were compelled to purchase two $ 23 sacks and off we went to find a variety of apples to make Gramma’s recipes. As other’s wrote, not one tree was identified as to apple species. We asked the «cashier» for some assistance and was told to look for a worker out there somewhere. Well, we never spotted a worker. So we picked apples randomly and hoped for the best. You would think for $ 23 a sack, the proprietor could print out signs on his/​her computer, place them in a plastic protector and anchor them to each tree!!! Come ‘on…what a simple way to satisfy your customer’s. So, next year we’ll venture out to one of the MANY other farms and pick and purchase our apples and be completely satisfied.

My boyfriend said I was generous with a 2.5 star mental rating, so it’s been downgraded to a 2.
We went to Pippin Orchard because we were hoping for a closer location than some of the farms in the outer reaches of the region.
First, it’s really not a big area. Normally when apple picking, you feel rather Robert Frostian, and wander at your leisure. This is like going to Disneyworld on school vacation week. Ugh. You’re literally on top of each other.
Second, the trees are roped off with caution tape to prohibit you from going into other sections. I get that they’re preserving the trees to last the whole season, but come on, people. (Yes, I dodged the mean employees and ran under the tape to get some good ones just over the line.)
Third, the trees most definitely aren’t labeled. Macoun? Macintosh? Cortland? Lucky I’m a born-​and-​bred New Englander so I figured it out, but labels are pretty important.
Fourth, I get the no-​climbing, no-​shaking thing… but maybe you could give us a tall picky thing (that’s the technical term.) (Yes, I climbed. All the good ones are at the top.)
Fifth, it is a pretty prohibitive cost: 23 dollars for an empty bag… and then you fill it. Most places weigh what you’ve selected… not here. Fill your bag or miss out. In all honesty, it’s a pretty bad business model. It makes people pick exactly that bag, when in other places, they may buy more or less… but at least you’re not being wasteful.
Sixth…no cider donuts. While there is a little shop where you can buy pies and stuff, the selection isn’t great. All I wanted was a piping hot cider donut like EVERY OTHER apple orchard has… and no dice.
Seventh: The apples are all super little. Maybe I’m going too early in the season… and maybe it’s not Pippin’s fault, but if you’re looking for huge, juicy, red apples, this is NOT your place.
Overall, I was thoroughly unimpressed by the experience. I’ve gone to a variety of farms throughout New England… and I go every year. It’s my favorite part of fall, and Pippin fell far short of my hopes and expectations. Boo, hiss.

We ventured here to do some apple picking this weekend. They definitely have a nice assortment of fresh fruit and vegetables for sale, as well as fresh baked pies, fudge, and breads, but sort of disappointed with their apple picking… At our normal apple picking location, they have the trees labeled so you know what you are picking, and would’ve liked to have seen that here… Also, when we’ve picked strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, the picked prices are significantly lower than store prices, but with the price we paid for a bag of apples, I feel like it was twice as much… A whopping $ 23 a bag!
I know nothing beats a fresh –off– the-​tree apple, but I would definitely have liked to have had the trees labeled

Great place to go apple picking in September and October. I went 2 years in a row to this orchard. 15 dollars for a huge bag of apples. (even after making caramel apples, apple crisp, and apple pie we still had tons of apples left over) The earlier in the season you go, the more choice of apples you get.
Great place for taking cute friend/​or family photos !
The whole experience of walking around and picking apples is quite enjoyable + you can snack on apples as you walk around!
