Schwallier’s Country Basket

Everyone in the GR area seems to prefer Robinette’s for their orchard experience in the fall but I will ALWAYS pick Schwallier’s.
The petting zoo is adorable. The corn maze was fantastic. The doughnuts were amazing. And the staff is friendly and helpful. Anywhere that I can wait in a line and get a free apple while standing around is a winner in my books.

Been going here since i was little! Great donuts and atmosphere! Only concern is the «petting zoos» they have ZERO supervision and the kids parents stand there and take pictures while kids are choking the animals, or picking them up by there heads, its really painful to watch. The corn box is really fun and not messy so its a really fun idea! Still will go to this place. Great for little kids to grown adults!

If you have little ones, this is a slam dunk for fall goodness. Reasons to go:
— goats you can feed
— baby goats
— apple picking (many varieties)
— barn with hay to play in
— kittens roaming in barn with hay for kids to play with
— addictive kid’s slide
— bails of hay for kids to play on
— benches where you can eat your donuts and cider!
— water pumps with rubber ducks (more fun than it sounds)
— hay ride
— a kiddie ride where everyone rides in «cows» that were 55 gallon drums
— and more we didn’t get to
If fall is in the air, this is a great place to go.

We held a company party here. The staff was so wonderful, they made the process seamless!
There was activities for children (of all ages). The adults really enjoyed the corn maze, and every kid I talked to loved the goats. They accommodated our needs for billing. We were also able to bring in our own caterers who worked with the orchard staff to get what we needed.
A pleasant time was had by all, and we are hoping to return for the bi-​annual party again!

So I had no idea that this place was so much fun! I like to take my nieces & nephews on some type of hayride or corn maze each fall and this year I found a Groupon for Schwallier’s so I decided to give it a try!
I pass this place all the time & never really gave it a 2^nd thought. I am so thankful for the Groupon because I ended up LOVING this place! There is so much to do for kids & families! The corn maze (without the Groupon) was $ 6 but the other activities were free!
They have baby goats you can pet & feed, a cool slide in a barn, a huge hay stack the kids just loved climbing all over, a pumpkin patch, a cow train and the corn maze. You could easily spend a lot of time here without breaking the bank!
They also have U-​pick fruits. When we were there I decided to pick a few Blondee apples to try because I had never had them. Ipaid for them at the snack stand & continued exploring. The last thing we did was stop in and buy some donuts & cider. When I was buying my donuts I mentioned to the cashier that I was excited to try the Blondee & he immediately told me they were past their prime & gave me back the money I paid for them. I would have had no idea at all & I was impressed & appreciative that he did that!
The donuts were yummy & they sell cider in cute little pumpkins for the kids (and maybe for me too!).
I will most definitely be back next year!!!
