As residents of New Hope-Solebury, we are all very familiar with one of the most popular places in this town to get their fresh fruits and the fan-favorite apple cider donuts. Solebury Orchards grows apples, peaches, blueberries, pears, plums, apricots, cherries and more on a picturesque setting on 80 acres off Creamery Road.
There are a lot of fun activities like complimentary wagon rides through the orchard for apple picking on Saturdays and Sundays. Also going apple picking with friends and family is another very fun thing that you should to while you make your trip over to the orchard. The fruit is ripe and delicious so you will want to go back for more.
They have plenty of other treats and snacks besides just fruit. They carry all sorts of dried fruits and candy as well. The staff is very friendly and will take care of all your shopping needs for the season. The doors of Solebury orchards opened in 1989 to the public. Solebury Orchard has grown to a large scale operation since then and have been taking in a lot of revenue because of their organic and freshly grown fruits.
Our town takes pride in the orchard as it has been here way longer than a lot of us. Eric Locke, an employee, said: “It's a great place to work. I love the environment. The fruit is fresh and tasteful. Their cider donuts are made daily, and their homemade pressed cider is sweet and flavorful.”
Congratulations to Solebury Orchard on this fantastic achievement!
