Heinz Orchard

THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT YEAR! WE ARE NOW CLOSED FOR 2012.  Despite a rough year weatherwise, we kept our prices honest and only had U-pick on the trees (not from bins), and we tremendously appreciate your support.  We look forward to seeing you next year.

Welcome to Chicagoland's closest orchard--Heinz Orchard in Green Oaks, IL (next to Libertyville)!  We are just 37 miles from downtown Chicago.  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.
