Pick-Your-Own Apples
If you are looking for an authentic farm experience, Annie's Orchard is the perfect place. Once you drive down our long dirt road leading to the orchard and look at the pristine land, you will understand what we mean. The orchards at Annie's feel secluded and like an escape from the hustle and bustle of the world. All we ask is that you treat our farm with the same love (we think that will be easy!) and respect we do!

Our address is 364 Route 526, Cream Ridge, NJ 08514. On Google and Waze, it might say Allentown, but this is us! We are technically in Cream Ridge, but Google has not fixed that yet.

You will enter onto a long dirt road. Please be aware of bumps...it will be a bumpy/dusty ride.
-
Follow that road (do not turn off of it) until you get to the orchards and see our orange shed! There will be signs to follow.
-
Please wear comfortable walking shoes to explore the orchards; they are a bit hilly, and sometimes mud can be present on wet days. Rain boots or other comfortable waterproof shoes for wet days.

Bring water, sunscreen, and a sun hat for hot, sunny days!
Royal Red Honeycrisp
It's just like the classic Honeycrisp but with an even redder skin. It's juicy and crisp with a sweet-tart flavor. It can be used for anything: fresh eating, baking, sauces, and pies!
AMRBOSIA
Aptly named, Ambrosia means a divine food or nectar consumed by the Greek gods to retrain their immortality. It is a sweet, juicy apple with a soft crunch. This apple has no acidity to balance the sweetness, so it has a very honeylike sweet flavor. Perfect for fresh eating, putting in salads, or baking and cooking purposes!
RUBY RUSH
From the breeding program at Rutgers University/New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station(NJAES), we love a local apple! The fruit is sweet, juicy, and aromatic, with a desirable crisp texture. Amazing for fresh eating and holding its shape well for baking, we recommend mixing it with another apple for applesauce to balance the sweetness!
gala simmons
A deep red Gala strain but with all the classic Gala characteristics! It has a mild, sweet flavor with juicy, crisp flesh. It is excellent for eating and putting into salads and can also be used for baking purposes.
