Schweizer Orchards

Unresponsive and poor customer service. I called multiple times to discuss purchasing wholesale pumpkins for my wedding. I gave them my contact information and was continually told that they would return my calls once they weren’t «so busy.» Never received a response.

Schweizer Orchards is a large family orchard in St. Joe, Missouri. It’s very easy to find being not too far off the highway. They have tons of fruit and veggies for u-​pick when the season arrives. We went apple picking in late September. Not too many apples were left but you can’t beat the experience, family photo ops, and price. You just can’t get apples for 60 cents a pound at the grocery store.
They have a fun little store where you can buy already picked apple varieties, Amish made jams, preserves, and pickled things, and several other items. The lone bathroom was small but clean and has a place to change a diaper.
There is a large playground for smaller kids (the sign says «under 70 pounds») which ruled out my older two so we skipped that.
Our go-​to apple orchard/​pumpkin patch (Alldredge Orchard) had a hail damaged crop this year which forced us into new territory at Schweizer. We’re glad we tried it out, but we’re still in love with Alldredge. Schweizer is our back up for sure and we know we’ll have a great experience no matter what the weather!
