County Line Orchard is an apple orchard in Hobart, Indiana, and a great family attraction. It’s located on County Line Road, a short drive east of downtown Hobart.
Visiting
County Line Orchard is open to the public from the end of August to the end of October. If you plan on visiting the attractions or picking apples, you have to pay admission at the check-in shed to the right of the Big Barn. You’ll get a wristband and you can start enjoying your day. Bags are provided for picking apples.
General admission is just US$3 for access to the orchards (as of September 2023). There’s also a corn maze, bee yurts, kids farm, and tractor rides available on different passes. The all-access pass for admission to all attractions is US$14 (as of September 2023). Attractions are open daily.
Big Barn
The Big Barn contains a store selling all sorts of delicious goods such as donuts, pies, apple cider, and much more. There are also several different types of gifts and souvenirs for sale. Donuts and cider were the hottest items!
U-Pick
There are several different fields at the orchard. A brochure shows the types of apples growing in each field and the best time to pick them. We stuck to the orchard just behind the Big Barn.
Each section is clearly labeled with the types of apples you can find. We picked a lot of gala, golden delicious, and macintosh apples. You pay for what you pick by the pound. In addition to apples, there’s a pumpkin patch and sunflowers.
Just for Kids
We didn’t visit any of the kids attractions, but we quickly popped into the bee yurts. Most visitors were families with young children heading to the kids farm and tractor rides.
