At Tanners Orchard, we understand that this experience resonates on a nostalgic level. The sights, sounds, and smells connect us to our roots. And they create sweet memories to cherish for a lifetime. That’s why we’ve been proud to offer a premium experience that Central Illinois has loved for generations. For the best apple picking by Bloomington IL, make the short drive to Tanners Orchard.
Enjoy U-Pick Apples
Tanners Orchard offers a diverse selection of apples for everyone. With over 17 varieties and 11,000 U-pick apple trees, you’re sure to find your favorite. To make it easy, we provide an online apple chart. That way, you can see when each variety is ripe and ready for picking. With options available throughout the season, you can enjoy apples in pies, ciders, and jams without ever missing out on your favorite.
Starting in September with our Festival Days, we offer wagon rides out to the orchard so you can load up on apples. Beyond the orchard, we have a 20-acre pumpkin patch featuring over six different varieties. They are perfect for decorating or baking. From September on, our orchard and pumpkin patch are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The last admission is at 4:15 p.m. U-pick admission is $5 per person. And you can take home apples for $12 per half peck or $20 per peck. A visit to our apple-picking farm promises to be the most delightful experience.
