Larsen Apple Barn

Founded by the Larsen family in the 1860's, this is the longest family-owned Apple Hill™ farm.

You’ll find over 20 varieties of apples picked right here on the ranch. There is also a wonderful array of pears, grapes, dried fruits, juices and more.

In addition, the Bake Shop is full of piping hot apple and other specialty pies, turnovers, dumplings and so much more.

Enjoy lunch from the deli on your way to touring the unique Larsen Family Museum.

When you're done, take a tumble in the expansive grass-covered park with its picturesque waterfalls, ancient apple trees, arching bridges and adventure around every corner.
