Louisville Apple Picking Fun: Your Ultimate Guide to Local Orchards

August 22, 2023

Where to Take Kids Apple Picking Near East Louisville and Oldham County

Fall in East Louisville and Oldham County is most definitely on its way. With it comes all of our favorite East Louisville and Oldham County fall traditions! One of the best fall activities in my book: apple picking. There's nothing that says fall like that first bite from a crisp and juicy apple just picked from the orchard.

So we’ve gathered together information about East Louisville and Oldham County-area farms and orchards where you and your family can pick your own apples this fall. See our EVENT CALENDAR for more fun and CLICK HERE to sign up for our weekly e-newsletters to get fun info like this sent to you every week for free! 


Please note: We've listed as much information here as we can find on hours and prices. But it's always a good idea to check with the farm before heading out, as many pick-your-own apple farms have sometimes unpredictable crop yields and changes to their schedule! It's also a good idea to take cash, as some farms don't accept credit cards.
