Description

Welcome to Opa’s Orchard, a Boutique U-Pick Apple Orchard in Lake County, IL

This is our 4th year opening up to the public.  We charge an admission to enter the orchard for everyone 3+. Adult admission tickets recieve a 1/2 peck sized bag and children tickets recieve a 1/4 peck for picking to fill and take apples home!  Admission tickets are broken down into time slots to limit the number of attendees in the orchard, so we can take the time and make sure everyone has a pleasant experience.  Please come to any employee for question, comments or concerns you may have while you pick. We’re happy to help!

We have approximately 1,500 Firestorm Honeycrisp apple trees and 500 mixed varieties for you to pick while you are here.  The orchard is located at 83 Landscape Supply Inc in Mundelein, IL.

Please note that this is a “small” orchard close to home. Easy to get to, easy to park, and a few activates to keep the little ones occupied in-between picking.  Plenty of fun photo ops for those Instagram stories! Don’t forget to tag us at #opasorchard. We do not have vast large trees upon hundreds of acres you would find in the country.  We specialize in a orchard style called the “Fruiting Wall”.  This is a high density dwarf apple orchard on a trellis system. Think of a evergreen hedge where you pluck apples off.
