Hidden Hollow Orchard
Apple season starts in August and lucky for us, there’s a great little orchard just on the Oldham County border in Louisville. Hidden Hollow Orchard opened on August 26, 2023!
It’s almost apple picking time! Hidden Hollow Orchard is just a short drive outside of Oldham County. The orchard welcomes you to pick apples and visit with the farm animals.
This small apple orchard offers families an opportunity to experience true apple picking together. Hidden Hollow Orchard is located just off of Old Henry Road in East Louisville. There are specific directions on the website for visitors to follow and a phone number in case you get lost. Directions can get tricky and you might feel like you’re lost, but trust the one-lane road that runs along the Fox Run neighborhood-you’ll get to the Orchard, promise. Here are directions that will help you navigate the 2023 road construction near the Orchard.
Once you arrive at the Orchard, find a spot to park along the gravel road and bushes. You will find the prices listed near an umbrella table, along with plastic bags to use, maybe an apple picker tool and some honey for sale.
Pick an open, mowed path and you will run into the rows of apple trees. The grass can be thick and tall, so old shoes or even rain boots are perfect for the orchard. Some of the grass near the base of the trees is tall also, so if your skin is sensitive to grass and weeds, pants or tall socks are recommended. Bring some buckets along with you or even a wagon for hauling your apples through the Orchard.
In years past, the rows of trees were marked with apple variety signs. We did not see any on our visit but did manage to pick 3-4 different apple varieties. If you pick a slightly bruised or blemished apple, use it to have a taste test.
Pack some carrots for feeding several ponies and bring cash (preferable small bills). If you want to stay a little longer, there is a picnic table and areas for a picnic blanket. There are a couple of tractors for children to explore, too.
Hidden Hollow Orchard is located at 3200 Apple Hill Road Louisville, KY 40245
