Heinz Orchard

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 nearly 70 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. Please note that  pets are not allowed at the orchard.
