We drove 10 hours to enjoy all Carlson Orchards has to offer. We had tasted the hard cider a while back however, it is not available where we live so we decided to take a road trip. We were first greeted by Katie (who by the way has one of their ciders named after her) who was very friendly! We picked cherries as that is what was in season and they were amazing. They had 2 varieties and a ton of them so it was easy to fill our bucket! We then went to the cider barn where Amy and Pat helped us. They could not have been nicer and were so helpful in our decisions on what to order. We tried both flights which were delicious. Our favorite was the legends flight. We also tried the peach and apple pizzas which were to die for!!! They even have gluten free which is always a bonus for me! To top of the trip, Bruce and Frank the owners came and sat with us and told stories about the history of the orchard and how they have changed and expanded through the years. Katie continued to check on us throughout our stay and also helped with our purchase where we bought plenty of cider to be able to bring home and enjoy for quite a while! Carlson Orchards you have completely outdone yourself and exceeded our expectations. We look forward to a trip back!
