Heinz Orchard

7/21/10 UPDATE:  We will probably open a bit sooner than normal due to the warm weather this Spring and Summer.   Our projected opening for McIntosh apples will be either August 27 or September 3.  Please check back in mid-August for more details.

Welcome to Chicagoland's closest orchard--Heinz Orchard in Green Oaks, IL!  Our no-frills Lake County orchard has been a favorite in Northern Illinois for over 50 years. 

You are more than welcome to bring strollers and wagons into the orchard. Please note that as a small, family-run orchard we do not offer hayrides, food/drink, corn mazes, etc. We specialize in PURE APPLE PICKING FUN in a beautiful surrounding!

For the safety of our guests and the trees, please do not climb in the trees, shake the trees or throw apples.
