Food is a hallmark of our success here at Tanner’s Orchard. Make a stop in our Apple Bin Bakery, where you’ll find freshly baked goodies all season long. Think famous apple cider donuts, homemade fudge, fresh-baked pies and loaves of bread. Staying for lunch? Everything we offer is homemade, from sandwiches and wraps to soups and salads.

The first thing you’ll smell when you walk in the door is our apple cider donuts. Grab a dozen for breakfast through the week, and maybe a hot coffee or cider on your way out to stay warm.

Fun: Wagon Rides

We offer fun covered wagon rides on Festival Days, where we will take you out to pick fresh apples in the orchard. We also use the wagons for school field trips during the week.
