I can’t say enough about the people at Rush Creek. My husband and I have done the tour three times, bring new friends and family with us each time. Each guide did the tour a little different and with a new twist each time. We’ve seen a band and had cocktails with with friends...the owners are friendly and sociable, you feel like you’ve known everyone there forever. Awesome to have this in our own backyard!

Visited during their Fall Apple Festival. Enjoyed the apple orchard maze. They have so many varieties and the branches were heavy with plump sweet apples. There is a petting zoo however with the co vid going on you can view the animals through the fence but can't go into the area to pet them. The zoo is free as is parking and a cool children's play area. There is lots of green space and picnic tables. The bakery has yummy Apple Cider Donuts, Fudge, Carmel Apples and Pies. The Country Kitchen offers hot foods like Chicken Pot Pie, BBQ Sandwiches, Chicken Tenders and other entrees. There are picnic tables and outdoor patio tables available for dining. The gift shop has home décor, wearables, and jarred food items where we picked up pumpkin butter and caramel apple dip to go with the apples we picked. It was fun to pick our own carefully selected apples from the trees. We picked several varieties. It was a fun day and we plan to come back for pumpkin season.
