North Star Orchard LLC

Great selection of apples, the variety is amazing as well as the flavors.

We LOVE going to North Star for our weekly produce pickup! They carry a variety of products; fruits, vegetables, nuts, local meats & dairy, syrup, canned goods, and crafts. The employees are always kind and helpful. I find their prices to be pretty reasonable for locally sourced food, plus they offer things that are difficult to find in grocery stores (pawpaws, Asian pears, and chestnuts, for example). We love the immense variety of apples- it is so fun to get an assortment and sample them at home. North Star also has an art loft where you can view a different gallery display each month. It is so wonderful to see a store working with other small farms and businesses, as well as supporting local artists. They are only open during the height of the growing season, so don't try to make a trip in the middle of February! I would give them 10 stars if I could!

Excellent selection of apples including many heritage and locally-developed. They have other fruits and produce as well but we go just for the apples. Helpful, friendly staff. I only wish they were open more often.

Update: After two more visits, my opinion hasn't changed. Made a great pie from their apples. And they're Doctor Who fans, too.

Update (October 2020): Fruit, veggies and the limited supply of prepared food remain excellent -- "best of breed" in many cases. But I added this edit to note that they're handling the COVID-crisis issues extremely well. But things change rapidly these days so if you'd like to get their great stuff but aren't happy about going in (with a mask of course) call them to arrange for parking lot pickup.

Update (August 2021): This year’s apples are beginning to come in and there’s a great selection of fruits and vegetables. I don’t think I mentioned that they also have locally made crafts and artwork. But the artwork is for the most part upstairs and it’s not handicapped accessible.

We love North Star Orchards for the apples of course. So many varieties with many heirlooms you just can't find elsewhere.....

But please don't miss the fantastic collection of fresh farm raised veggies in addition and other local food a d craft items offered for sale.

Its s nice, well stocked place for fresh fruits and veggies. I did find it more expensive than other comparable locations.
