Our Story
Orchard Creek Ranch (OCR) is an 80+ year old, organically maintained apple orchard located between Glenwood Springs and New Castle Coloramdo, off of I70 Exit 109. OCR grows heirloom varieties of Jonathan, Rome, and Double Red Delicious apples.
OCR U-Pick apple season begins around the last weekend of September and runs through October, weather and crop size permitting.
In addition to picking apples, which are sold by the pound, items for sale include organic fresh-pressed apple cider, apple cider vinegar, dried apple chips, apple wood chips for barbecuing and apple firewood. We also maintain honey bees and harvest our honey for sale each year as well. We have one of the first Colorado Certified Pure/Tested H**p crops and process our own quadruple-filtered H**p Oils (both pure and CBD). We process and sell a nice array of H**p infused lotion/body butter/lip balm and CBD Salve. We also have Lavender products for sale too! OCR also sells 100% certified organic grass/alfalfa hay.
Those wanting to pick OCR organic, heirloom apples are invited to pack a picnic lunch and bring the whole family. We recommend participants wear flat, sturdy shoes, a sunhat and bring drinking water.
