Heinz Orchard

WE ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE SEASON.  THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU NEXT FALL.

Welcome to Chicagoland's closest orchard--Heinz Orchard in Green Oaks, IL (next to Libertyville)!  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!

not climb in the trees, shake the trees or throw apples.
