Hickory Ridge Orchard Tours

We’d love to have your group out to take a tour of Hickory Ridge Orchard. Depending on the size of the group, farm tours typically last from anywhere from one hour to an hour and a half. Our tours consist of:

Basic Tour - $6/person

  • A nature walk along the farm pond to view different wild plant and animal life.

  • View the ducks & geese taking their daily bath in the pond.

  • Feed the fish and watch them splash around as they try to gather as much food as they can.

  • Head over by the animal barn where the group will get to feed and take pictures with the farm animals.

  • View the honey bee yard from afar to watch & discuss their busy life foraging for their hives.

  • Look for the chickens, turkeys & guineas in their wanderings searching for bugs around the farm.

  • Finish off the trip in the apple orchard to learn about the different apple varieties and take home a couple of apples from our store.

Deluxe Tour - $12/person

  • Deluxe tour includes all activities from the basic tour and the additional items listed below. The deluxe tour is only available for groups less than 50 people. If your group is more than 50, please contact us and we will work with your group to accommodate as best we can!

  • Shoot corn cobs out of the corn cannon and see if you can hit one of the multiple targets.

  • Enjoy a hay ride around the great pumpkin patch and twisted corn maze.

  • Find your way through the 4 acre corn maze and see if you can find all of the checkpoints.

  • For Schools and Groups

    School field trips are offered starting in September and continuing through the end of October.  We encourage your group to book early as we do limit the number of tours each day.  Spaces fill up quickly once school is in session. 

    We do make special after-school arrangements with scout & church groups. Personal group tours are also offered if requested.
