2010: "We just went there today, July 2nd 2010, and the strawberries we
got are great! I was worried it was too late in the season, but I personally
picked 18lbs myself and they weren't all tiny berries! Plenty of good reg.
and big size if you are willing to dig around a little! Extremely friendly &
helpful staff, prices are awesome, and a HUGE variety of things to choose
from - strawberries, sugar snap peas (picked a whole bag of those too),
tomato plants, beautiful flowers, several kinds of apples in fall, on and

Comments from a visitor on October 05, 2012: "This was a very nice farm, had all
the vegetables. It was well organized, and they had kids play area which
helped the kids take some time off the field. The prices were much cheaper
compared to the grocerry stores. Apple pickign was not allowed this year due
to bad weather casuing the Apples to go bad."
Comments from a visitor on August 02, 2012: "I have been going to this farm for
almost 15 years and it is one of my favorite tranquil places to go. I have
picked a large variety of fruits, veggies and herbs at "R" Apples. Frank has
been farming his entire life. He really takes pride in his work and loves to
show customers around the farm. He also has an little antique store inside
the barn and raises chickens, turkeys and other farm animals. Frank grows a
large variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs. I can get all the produce I
need there for a fraction of the cost of a grocery store. The farm is well
maintained and their produce is delicious. Its a family owned business and
Frank is one of the nicest people I've ever met. "

basket of green beans for canning. WOW! Very nice people, very beautiful
produce. The farm was very clean and had an abundance of green beans. I also
picked up a flat of blueberries to make some jam. Raspberries will be ready
in a week or so. I'll be back for them. This was worth the trip! We took 4
kids along to help pick. Great experience...thank you! Tell others that this

Comments from a visitor on September 22, 2012:
(negative) "We went on our
annual family apple picking outing today, Sept. 22, 2012, to Apple Holler.
It was a truly disappointing experience for the 1st time in years. We were
surprised with having to pay to park. We noticed everyone was newly
uniformed and the play area had been revamped. We were shocked at $60 for a
bag to pick apples. (Less than $40 last year & even less in prior years).
After paying to rent a wagon, we were told that you can no longer walk the
orchard to the apples. We were herded to the tractors, driven out to where
the apples were ready and dropped off. The orchard itself was pretty bare
but in front of the rows were giant boxes of pre-picked apples. NOT the
experience we were used to at Apple Holler. If I want to pay $60 to "pick"
apples out of a bin, I'd go to a gourmet supermarket! A heads up from the
staff about the changes when we were buying the bag would've been nice. We
left. Never ate or "picked" a single apple. "
Comments from a visitor on
September 19, 2012: (negative)"I
visited Apple Holler 9/15/12 and was taken back by their prices, customer
service and the lack of actual "Apple Picking". I took my 3 year old son to
enjoy some apple picking, what we got was a hole in our pocket from all the
things requiring money. First off I was quoted by the Cashier when you first
purchase your ticket to enter that the $60 bag included apple picking and
the park area as well as the hay ride and some kiddie rides. I wouldn't have
bothered making the purchase if that wasn't true. We go to the tractor and
boy do they give you the real life experience of being hearded like a farm
animal. There are no signs of where you go or stand or can you simply walk
out to the field like they used to allow. There's simply a "Abercrombie &
Fitch" high school graduate yelling at people to back up or to step back.
There was no politeness in his voice so again hearding comes to mind. The
"hay ride" (which was simply a big tractor pulling a wagon or train style
smaller wagons) was nice, the gentleman driving the tractors were polite and
well mannered. Once you arrive at the area designated for picking you are
greeted by yet again another "A&F" student surrounded by crates saying there
are no pickings to simply grab your selection from these overnight
refrigerated apples. Once you're done you hop back on the wagon & ride back
up front to meet the "A&F" drill sargeant yet again yelling out commands.
They check your receipt & you're free to go. Mind you having a 3 year old
it's not that simple he wants to feed the goats & play. We stop at a slide
which has no signage stating tickets are required to slide down. The young
lady being her first day was nice enough to allow my son to go down on the
slide because I explained to her as well as another parent before me that we
purchased $60 bags & were informed that the price included everything. (I as
well double checked with that sales rep and pointed at the playing area &
again she confirmed, "Yes everything in that area") My son decided going
down once wasn't enough & ran back up, again there are no signs so why not.
The same gentleman that was previously hearding people like sheep happened
to switch places with the nice young lady who was there before. He decided
to get in a yelling match with my mother who accompanied my son up the slide
& demand she get a ticket for riding on the slide. Again like a broken
record I informed him of the situation, he decided to give some attitude &
then once done at the slide decided to follow us through the entire
children's area. I paid $60 for a sack of refrigerated apples, two times
down a slide, and one angry "Abercrombie & Fitch" high school student who
likes to play drill sargeant. I refuse to be yelled at someone twice as
young as me, they need to retrain their Customer Service staff because
apparently manners & communication are poorly trained if at that."
Comments from a visitor on June 12, 2012:
(positive) "I
would completely disagree with the review that is currently posted for Apple
Holler. I have been there several times, most recently in 2011. I have never
had to pay for parking (I've parked in their lot and on the street). A new
playground was recently added and the rest of the kids area is in good
condition. It does get very crowded, but I've experienced this at any farms
I have gone to during their high seasons.. "
Comments from a visitor on September 08, 2008: (negative) "We went to
Apple Holler in Racine County, WI last year. There are a few things visitors
should be aware of. During prime picking season it gets very crowded on
weekends. It is also very expensive and very little is free (except general
admission and the porta potties). It costs money to park your car, for rides
and activities, wagon rental, etc. Bring plenty of cash. A small bag of
apples was $30. The orchards are deeply rutted and difficult for people with
strollers. The place is generally dirty and rundown. The kid's play area
consisted of ramps made with rotting boards stacked on broken concrete and
pallets with nails sticking out. Not very safe. Employees and visitors were
equally crabby, but I can't blame them because it was so crowded. Maybe
weekdays are better, but I don't think we will go back."
