We’re open Thursday, Oct. 3 and Friday, Oct. 4 from 10am-4pm. We’ll be picking Empire and Jonathan apples all of which are snack-size (small). There is an extremely limited amount of golden delicious apples and those will be available until they run out. Please note that pets are NOT ALLOWED at the orchard and WE DO NOT HAVE BATHROOMS. For additional dates/hours please scroll down.
Unfortunately we WILL NOT be able to host large groups or fieldtrips this year. Our schedule will be decided each week based on the crop quality and quantity. We’ll only be open dates that are posted below, but we are hoping to add dates as the season progresses.

(GPS may say Libertyville)
Heinz Orchard is Chicagoland’s closest orchard. Our family-favorite no-frills orchard has been providing relatively decent apples for over 70 years. If you want agri-tainment we ARE NOT the place for you as we don’t have any other offerings (no bathrooms, no hayrides, no petting zoos, no pumpkins, etc.). But if you’re looking for a beautiful outdoor setting to enjoy the simplistic joy of apple picking at an AFFORDABLE price, then we ARE the place you!

Because we’re no-frills, we’re also the most affordable orchard around. We don’t charge any admission fees, no parking fees, and we’ve kept our prices the same since the dawn of time. You buy the bag and fill it. We prefer cash but we will accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express as well as Apple/Google/Samsung pay. We DO NOT accept crypto, I.O.U.’s, checks, or handshake promises of future riches.
