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

This is our first year opening up to the public. Trees are still small, however apples are plentiful and yummy! This is a soft open with limited tickets available. We want to limit the number of attendees in each timeslot so we can take the time and make sure everyone has a pleasant experience for years to come.  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.

A Few Notes:

• Parking spots are limited. You must park in a designated parking space. 1 car space per purchase.
• Time slots last 1 hour and a half. You must leave by your end time so the next group can park in your spot and enjoy their time.
• Only short leashed, good behaved pups allowed. There is no off leash. You are responsible for your dog.
• This orchard is hidden within 83 Landscape Supply, it’s best to google us to find directions to the orchard. You will see signs when you arrive!
• For safety, no climbing trees/wires/etc. or swimming in the pond.
• No throwing apples. Drop unwanted apples for the deer to enjoy later in the evening.
• Tickets will be emailed to you automatically.
• Check-in at the main office upon arival.
• Events held rain or shine! For severe weather you will be emailed for rescheduling. If you do not receive an email, event will be held at original time.

Bzzzzzz…

Bees, wasps and other Insects are vital to every orchards health. They pollinate 10’s of thousands of flowers a year all within a narrow 1 week period. That being said, during harvest they can’t pass up the opportunity to get some sticky sugar juice from the apples. Please don’t be afraid of the insects, but be very careful when picking, especially where you grab and step. Insects might go into a defensive mode and sting or bite! If you are allergic or afraid of the possibility of being stung, we would be more then happy to pick for you! Just email us at opasorchard@gmail.com, and we can set something up!
