The place has always been amazing. The breads are the best. I can’t say anything bad about this place. The prices are good. The staff is friendly. People please be responsible out there. Bring your mask and practice cleanliness. You can’t control what others do, but you can control what you do. We all should do our part.

We really enjoyed our visit here! The produce is fresh and very tasty. We got to enjoy a fresh fried peach pie and apple cider slushie. Its in an absolutely beautiful area too.

We went on Halloween day during their pumpkin festival. Checked out pony rides, hay ride, corn maze, and picked a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch! My stepkids had a blast! Our tractor driver for the hayride was awesome and funny! Definitely coming back next year! If your going to the snack stand, I would definitely get a cider slush!

My 20 month old had a blast here! There were so many activities that were appropriate for various ages. We spent hours!

We enjoyed it...I would not pay to rent a table and tent again...nobody monitors it and people sat down all around us and we paid for it. No signage that says they are reserved. Also, that was not a hayride worth $4. It was a short ride to let you spend your money. Nothing enjoyable about it. Nice facility. Kid friendly.

We had a great time. Its a great place for the whole family. They have a general store with apples already picked. They also have several different varieties of fruit products. For the kids they have a petting zoo, pony rides, and playground. You take a hay ride to the upick orchard and corn maze. Fried apple pie is amazing.

Love everything about this place! The apple BBQ sammich is SO good. There are a ton of homemade goodies to buy and take home. Theres beautiful pumpkins and gourds and apples. Great little place!

Looks like a beautiful and fun place but there is no way to social distance here and have anything to do at this time. You cant walk to pick apples, you Have to ride the hayride, and no one is wearing masks! even though it says masks are required. We definitely wasted a long drive to be disappointed that we couldnt just give someone a $20 to pick a few apples off a tree in a social distanced manner.

They have all the fall activities. Hayrides, pumpkin patch, kid friendly corn maze, a large playground, apple cider and a small restaurant. Great for field trips.

Very organized. Had a nice walk out in the fresh air. Will definitely go back.

This location and amenities were great, but I wish we had gone last year. I was terribly disappointed by their lack of COVID restrictions. Their website and on location signs said masks required but the staff didn’t reinforce or even encourage the rules. The hay ride to the pumpkin patch and corn maze was not socially distanced and majority of people were without masks. My family and I were very uncomfortable and drove an hour to be there. I will not be going back next year.

Really enjoyed Jackson orchard. Has a lot to offer: apple picking, food, fresh fruit, playground, etc. The Cafe ordering with mobile does not offer full menu. Over all great experience.

We had a great experience at Jacksons Orchard! We had lunch at the concession stand which was reasonable priced and very delicious. The apple fried pie and apple cider slush were soooo gooood! I like how you pay for what you want to do instead of a flat admission rate. My kids are too young to do everything. My kids loved the hay ride to the orchard and picking apples. We look forward to coming back next season.

Really enjoyed the visit here, reminds me of Ellijay and the fall up in the GA mountains.

Visited to let the kids do something after being on the road for a long time, and want disappointed at all! Playground lots of fun for them...$2 for my 5 year old and free for my 3 year old. They especially liked feeding the goats. Peaches were honestly some of the best Ive ever had...got 5, and wife and I ate all while kids were playing, and then bought 5 more. Highly recommend, especially for families!!

I absolutely love this place! They have the best cider around. Their variety of apples is always great. Beautifully decorated!

It was packed and about 90% was not wearing a mask. Then I asked the cashier if there was any where my daughter could try the apple cider and she rudely replied no because of COVID they couldnt give out samples. REALLY.... AFTER NO MASK REQUIREMENT OR SOCIAL DISTANCING FOR LINES AT ALL. just to say got our apples and left.

Delicious preserves. I buy all my jam and preserves. They have great fruit and vegetables. in season

Where do I start. We go every year some times multiple times. We love the place. The staff is fantastic... except for this year. Before we go we check the website for face mask requirements due to COVID 19. There was nothing on the site letting us know what to expect. So we go and are having a great time. We get in line for the hay ride and see a sign saying face mask required. We look and no one is wearing a mask in line and the staff isn’t enforcing the rule. No masks were offered even though it is a requirement fir business to have if they require them. We get on the ride and on the way back a golf cart with a bitter older lady on it starts screaming at us and staring my wife in the eyes. She is screaming “where is your mask? It’s required?” She keeps screaming this at us even though only a few people on the entire ride have a mask on.The worker who was fantastic didn’t have a mask on but quickly pulls his out of his pocket and tells us that’s Mrs. Jackson. She is still sitting in her golf cart staring at us. I have never seen a owner as rude an degrading as she was. I understand the importance of the mask but instead of screaming at your patrons maybe focus on training your staff and following the business requirements that the state has set for yourself.

Drove all the way from Nashville, to spend a few minutes, and go elsewhere. Although masks are required, maybe 5% or people wore one, and no one on the staff seemed willing to enforce their own guidelines. It was packed this Sunday afternoon, at the store, in the line for the hay ride to go apple picking, as well as just around the orchard, with hardly anyone social distancing or wearing a mask.I thought I would quickly buy some cider and apples before heading out, but upon walking into the crammed store, changed my mind, and we left.

Been coming here since I was a child and now can bring my son, it has grown more over the years and I love the kids area they have now. Each Octobers we go to Jacksons and cant wait to come again to get the Apple slushes, caramel apples, and to get a pumpkin!

Definitely a busy day to go. I love their products but the Covid precautions are lacking. I guess its because its so busy but people where Very close together and 3/4 of the people wernt wearing masks.

We like going here, especially in early- mid fall. Today was first time to visit with peaches coming into season. Peach ice cream and peach fried pie was on our menu, as well as some fresh picked peaches to take home. They had some very pretty potted plants in the garden center and planted all around the building.

We had a very good time. My grandson lived the playground, the hay ride and picking out his own pumpkin..

Really a special place. I’m from Naples, FL so when we moved here this place was something very new and different for my family. We love the apples and the Fall Festival they have.

It was excellent ! People that worked there was super nice and super busy ! Well go again when not so chilly.

Had a good time but extremely crowded and busy. Would recommend everybody to go just wear your mask

Love it there. Beautiful, family friendly, great food! Its not Fall til you visit Jacksons Orchard!

The hospitality at Jackson Orchard is phenomenal. I got stuck on the hill and they were there to help out in any way and every way they could.

We had a awesome day

It was an embarrassment. Nobody wearing masks and standing shoulder to shoulder. People packed into the hayride like sardines and nobody there cleaning or wiping off anything except 1 elderly lady picking up trash. At least the cashiers had masks on but good luck with the outbreak of covid cases from that mess.

I would have picked a better traveling petting zoo, the petting zoo company they used obviously hasnt heard of grooming their horses, most of the ponies in the pony ride were lame & unkempt looks like the hooves of the pony rides were not cleaned out.

Such a wonderful family experience for the pumpkin season. Would always recommend!

Great place. Nice play area for kids. Very affordable.

Over the years we have been to Jacksons Orchard dozens of times to get various fruits and vegetables ripe in season to eat them fresh. for cooking, or for canning and for making jams or pickles. Weve always enjoyed the variety that they offer and the prices they sell their produce for.

Even though I live an hour away, I am willing to come here for just apples. These apples are very fresh and sweet, unlike store-bought apples, which are freeze-preserved. Jacksons Orchard has many varieties of apples, desserts, and things to do. I would recommend coming here.

Love this place. I travel from Hendersonville TN at least twice a year for their produce

As always, loved it. It never disappoints.

This was our first time here and it was great! Everything was very organized, we didnt have cash and the girl at the register helped us out without issue. The play equipment was in excellent condition and everything was very clean. There was a variety of play options for all ages. The play also had areas of several areas of shade available which was much appreciated,! The hay ride was just long enough and there were plenty of apples to pick! We had the best time!

Great just so the kids could get outside and play.Beautiful day

Go here to get their candied jalapeños. I love them and this is the only place I know of who carries them. Their peach ice cream is delicious and their apple cider slushes are to die for.

I am thoroughly disappointed in Jackson’s Orchard. As a long time visitor, seeing that wearing masks is not enforced made me feel unwelcome, unsafe and disgusted. The Jackson’s themselves should be disappointed as well as the employees. It’s shameful. I will not be coming back ever again.

Absolutely enjoyed it! Fresh peaches in stock! Bought some salsa and other goodies!!

Fun place for the whole family especially around holidays. This is a beautiful setting of a working orchard where you can pick your own fruit in season or purchase various amounts of a number of different varieties. Fall brings in apples as well as several different kinds and sizes of pumkins and gourds. They also have prepared products from harvested fruits including jams and jellies, pickled vegetables, local fresh vegetables, honey and mixes for breads, pancakes and deserts. There is also a sack bar serving bbq, chips, ice cream, fruit pies and other treats. There is a huge playground(small charge $ to offset insurance costs) and farm animals to pet.

We had a nice visit there. Got some peaches, peach ice cream.

Been here a couple times and each time has been wonderful! They have events to kick off different seasons; Peach Tasting Days, Apple Picking, and Pumpkin Fest. We drive up from Nashville and it is worth the trip!They have a consession stand that serves seasonal items. Most recently at a Peach Tasting Day I had a peach sundae with peach ice cream and it was DELICIOUS! During apple picking they have apple slushes that are yummy as well. They also have a variety of KY BBQ and drinks at the consession stand.Their produce and products are high quality. We love their apple BBQ sauce and onion ranch dressing. The apples and peaches weve purchased ripened within a few days and tasted delightful.

Rarely is there a place so awesome that when its full its lively and fun but when its realitively empty its quiet and good for the soul. The produce is always first rate the staff kind and helpful and the food amazing (dont miss the apple cider slushy made with their own apples or the peach sundays)

This is a very cute, family friendly place. We went in the middle of August, and there was still plenty to do for small children. There were still goats to visit, and plenty of produce to purchase. We bought some mennonite made bread, as well as peach butter. The playground is still open to the public, and we kept the attention of our toddler for two and a half hours easily.Were giving four stars simply because during our visit they were burning brush, and for some reason they chose to do this right next to the playground. We wouldve spent a much longer time at the orchard (and purchased more things like peach ice cream), had we not been worried about smoke inhalation.

Great place to bring kids for a few hours

Always a treat to go here. The produce is amazing and the people are kind and helpful.

Fun place to visit for the kids.

It’s been many years since I got the pleasure of taking my children to Jackson’s Orchard to enjoy fun afternoons of learning, play and good eating! I now live abroad, in an area known for its fruit production, where farmers could learn a bit from my friends back in Ky about selling their produce in an environment of great hospitality!

Nice variety of produce, plants, and treats.

Just a money pit..... go to Dennisons

Great place for fresh fruit and local produce

It was okay, we didnt get to do the hay ride cuz the line was all the way out to the parking lot. The petting zoo was cool, only thing I saw to improve was that the ponies were exhausted. There was a sign that said two bucks for adults and free for small kids but then they charged me for my kids. Overall though, my kids enjoyed it.

Family favorite. Weve been going to this orchard for three years. Great customer service, fun playground and always a good variety of trees to pick from.

Amazing goods, great customer service

The apple cider icee was great. My mother also really liked the peach ice cream. Have you all thought about making a peach icee?We bought a peck of the Snow king peaches and a bushel of the Cresthaven peaches. The Snowking taste great and weve canned the Cresthaven ones already.You can even pick your own peaches, which we didnt do, but its a great activity available for anyone of any age.

Overall great experience

Great day with the grandkids!!!

Great experience for family

We had the best experience there today! The guy working there, Christian, made the experience so much more enjoyable. He was very friendly, and knowledgeable about everything they have to offer. Im now a huge fan of their pickled okra.

They were busy today, thanks to Fall break, a lot of people were out enjoying the weather. You can come get pumpkins, preserves, apples, frozen or fresh cider to take home. Or like me, sit down with a peach pie and icecream sipping on apple cider slushie. Couldnt ask for a better fall tradition.

Great atmosphere with reasonable prices. The kids love the play ground and the apple cider slush

Best Apple Sider ever!

Really fun place for the kids. Reasonably priced, tasty food.

My grandchildren has a blast.

A fun place to take the family. We always go to the pumpkin festival held on the last weekend of September and every weekend in October. They also have a nice store where you can buy their products and other Kentucky proud products.

Ive been here a few times whether it be for the free concerts, apple picking, photography assignments or star gazing. Every time Ive gone, its been so beautiful and relaxing. The events that are held here are a lot of fun. Also, the food is great as well, waiting in line is worth it!

I love going here for fresh peaches in the Spring and Summer! They have lots of good homemade preserves, fresh veggies, and freshly made food to enjoy while your there. Its a fun place!

Great place!

Was recently there for field trip with our youngest. Rude staff, and was double charged for Apples and was not about to drive back over an hour for a refund. The main objective I have is the rude staff. Its suppose to be a family fun environment..Definitely a lot has changed there since my childhood days. Highly over priced!

We look forward to going every year to Get our pumpkin & apple fix.

We had a great time. Shopping was fun. Apple flavored bbq sauce? Excellent, .

Lots of fun things for kids to do! The apple slush is wonderful and our guide/driver for our hayride was very kind with a cute sense of humor. One of those things that Bowling Green has to offer that should not be missed!

Love it

Awesome

Ive been going to Jacksons for nearly 30 years and today was the last time I will ever go. I brought my small dog with me which I was carrying. When we pulled up I saw a couple with a dog on a leash, so I thought it was OK. As soon as I walked in this woman who was one of the cashiers loudly said SIR SIR ran around the corner and got right up in my face. Treated me like a five year old and told me I needed to leave because pets arent allowed. Extremely rude and loud manner though.I understand the rule. Thats fine, I made a mistake. She decided to cause a scene about it in a threatening manner, instead of politely telling me pets werent allowed. No reason to all but scream at me. Mr. Jackson deserves to have better employees representing what he has built there. As for me never going back. Another man who was working there came up while we were walking away and he was nice and I appreciated that. Told him it wasnt his fault. But the old angry miserable cashier needs to be let go. Jacksons Orchard is better than that.

Amazing family fun and outdoor events

Went for apple festival. Very nice place but one of the employees told my husband to go home because he was lying on a bench - which he was doing because of his recent knee surgery. Yes hes a robust man but his leg was clearly covered with incisions and it is a rough recovery. There were lots of other open seats available so it wasnt that. Would she tell a disabled person that he or she wasnt welcome? It felt nasty. Wont go back.

My family has a tradition of apple picking on Labor Day, so after seeing the website mention an “Apple Festival,” we decided to drive from the Nashville area to check it out - unfortunately, I’m not sure if the owners of this farm know what a festival is. Nothing at this slightly boring and small farm/orchard led us to believe any type of festival was taking place. The entire scope of the “event” consisted of a fruit stand in a barn, a concessions shack, a parking lot, and restrooms. Moreover, I imagine that what was available during our “festival” visit was most likely the same &$#% that’s available any other day. Oh yeah, there is also a lame pay-to-play area with slides that seems like an afterthought money grab effort from the owners in an obvious attempt to rip off millennials with five-year-olds. During our visit, we did pick apples, but were allowed access to only the Golden Delicious section (very limited - probably 50 trees total). When we got home and tried the apples they were NOT good - they tasted like over-grown dirty crabapples and were not crisp, juicy, or delicious. I give it two stars because the cider was decent and the cider slush was good - but any regular grocery store has similar products. The popcorn tasted like cardboard, the caramel apples were tiny, and when we asked for extra cups, the girl at the counter grabbed two by sticking her fingers inside them and handing them to us - after she had just touched dirty money/given us our change (so we just threw them away). Doesn’t anyone train food handlers anymore? I will say that the people running the stands seemed friendly- one lady mentioned that they have a “pumpkin festival” and invited us back - I pretended to be interested. I must also mention that the VERY steep, VERY thin, and VERY winding road up to the farm might cause your engine, or your heart, to explode... Sorry, but, we won’t be back and I cannot recommend going- there’s gotta be better farms than this.

I have been to Jacksons Orchard many times, But today after going with my child on a field trip I will probably never go back. I have not been treated that rude in a very long time . I was waiting to check out , I had an armful of stuff . I had a very hyper 5 yr old with me also so after waiting in line for ten minutes I was glad it was my turn and the check out girl just disappears and the other cashier said you will have to check out over here and put me back at the end of the line after I had already waited in one line. So when I said so I have to wait again she very rudely said no one else had a problem with hearing me !!! So then like I said I had a lot of stuff, plus a small child with me . I asked her if she could put the two small apple ciders in a bag please and she informed me very rudely most people dont need a bag there are handles on the cider ... She was beyond rude about me asking her to bag my stuff!! I had a 5 yr old... his pumpkin... Two candles... jars of food... and two containers of apple cider???? I refuse to go somewhere and spend 50$ plus and be talked to like that... it is supposed to be a family friendly environment and there was nothing friendly about that lady

Love this place, been coming here since I was a kid. Its changed quite a bit and has some really fun festivals a couple times a year. Definitely try one of the fried apple or peach pies!!

I only have one word apple cider slushie well that was 3 words but they are great on a hot summer day. You should stop by Jacksons Orchard just a short trip out of Bowling Green. They have fruit, vegetables, apples, peaches, and watermelons. They also have a playground for the kids to run off a little of that energy. If you need a fun little get away out of the city this is a good stop.

Fun place for the family.

The drive up to the orchard is wonderful. The playground for the kids is large and plenty of space for children to burn of energy.However, if youre from out of state expect to be talked to like you are incompetent and know nothing. Simple questions get responded to with a very enthusiastic absolutely not as though you should have already known the answer.The young gentlemen was very nice and the manager listened and then made it a point to say not only the employee escalated the situation, but I as well.The problem is when youre employee doesnt know when to shut their mouth and I ask them if they are going to continue arguing with me in front of customers, to have it reversed and told that she wont have me being rude in front of customers.. im pretty sure I already tried to make that point, but ok manager we both escalated the situation.My advice. Unless youre a local or a returning customer, find another orchard..If you dont believe me idI check other reviews that are recent. I feel bad for Mr. Jackson that his employees, at least two, are so rude.

Too busy

Not impressed. I have been to several pumpkin patches etc..this is not the one i will come back too. Limited food items, bathroo.s put out of order, field trip DVD and DVD not working really. Its be better to get apples and pumpkins at the END of trip not in the beginning not very well organized or thought out.

When we where buying a pumpkin. The gentleman taking the money,was extremely rude. He was yelling at me, and being extremely rude about my service dog. Told me hed have his dog eat her. I was really shocked. Ruined are entire trip to the orchard,today. We might have been there 15 minutes and, left! We, will never go back. Reporting them to the BBB.

This place has a really great atmosphere. But unfortunately their business practices are not family friendly. They nickle and dime you for everything. They have pumpkins for sale in the front that are overpriced.So you would figure that paying for the hay ride out to the patch would be a little cheaper. Not even close! You pay for the ride to get to the patch just to find out the best pumpkins have already been picked by JO to sale up front. Total rip off. Save your money and pick one of the other patches around bowling green. This place is not recommended.

Went here last year in October and had a great time! It was way too easy to spend my money on everything :) would love to go back!!

Absolutely LOVE going here. It all just reminds me of home and the slushies were absolutely perfect!

The play area is great and very reasonably priced. Unfortunately they choose not to honor coupons, be indifferent to concerns of customers, there apple cider has no difference from apple juice, and there is staff is outright dishonest when dealing with concerns. We will not be revisiting this establishment.

My husband went to the orchard two weeks ago and came back with great nearly ripe peaches and sweet cantaloupe. He went the next week and came back with two cantaloupe, a seedless watermelon and two containers of peaches. The cantaloupe are not sweet or ripe, the watermelon looked like it had been picked a month too early (at least) and the peaches took so long to ripen they almost all rotted. Not happy at this point!! Threw the watermelon away after cutting it open and finding it BARELY red, let the cantaloupe set for several days before cutting one and it is not sweet at all and more than half of the peaches have large rotten spots on them. Quite frankly, think a refund is in order and not sure we will be buying out there again. Cant believe the difference between the first and second visits. It was like he went to a completely different place!!

My first time was amazing and my baby boy had fun my baby girl didnt really enjoy urself cause she was about 7 months old. Oh Yea there applecider slush on point

Really fun for the family, a date, or if you just really need a caramel apple.

The road to this orchard is horrific! You drive up this steep hill with barley enough room for two cars to fit. The playground was fun, but the line for the petting zoo, at least over 30 minute wait. Same wait to get some food. Bathrooms were out of service so there was porta potties, and nothing to wash hand with, no hand sanatizer NOTHING! What do your employees do?! Took hayride out to a measly pumkin patch and corn maze. We initially came to pick apples but that wasnt an option. Instead they must have picked them all to sell in their store for minimum 7.00 a bag. Very disappointed and wont be back!

All right place. they are kinda rude if you want to look at the apple trees.

We go every year. The kids love it
