All Seasons Orchard

Our take

What the record actually confirms

All Seasons Orchard is at 14510 IL Route 176 in Woodstock, McHenry County, with a phone number of 815-338-5637 and a website at allseasonsorchard.com/pages/apple-orchard. Unlike most entries in this file, the 2026 season dates here are stated plainly and directly by the orchard itself: “2026 Season Dates: Aug 29 - Nov 1, 2026.” That’s about as clean a confirmation as this kind of record can offer — no inferred year, no generic recurring-pattern language, just an explicit date range tied to 2026.

An unusually long, unusually useful variety list

Eleven varieties are named directly in the record: Zestar, Gala, McIntosh, Cortland, Honeycrisp, September Wonder Fuji, Liberty, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, and Fuji. That’s one of the more complete rosters in this file, and it spans the full ripening calendar in a genuinely useful way. Zestar is typically one of the earliest apples of the season, ready well before Labor Day in a normal year; Gala and McIntosh follow into early-to-mid September; Honeycrisp and Cortland fill the mid-season stretch; and September Wonder Fuji, Jonagold, and standard Fuji run later into October. Liberty, Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious round out the list without a stated ripening window individually. For a visitor trying to time a trip around a specific apple, this is one of the more plannable entries in the file — provided the confirmed Aug 29-Nov 1 season window holds.

Scale: roughly 16,000 trees

The research notes describe All Seasons as one of the largest u-pick orchards in northern Illinois by tree count, with roughly 16,000 trees on the property. That’s a specific, checkable figure worth noting for anyone weighing orchard size against crowding or apple availability late in the season — a larger operation is generally less likely to run out of popular varieties on a busy fall weekend than a smaller farm, though the record doesn’t make any explicit crowd-level claim either way.

U-pick and pre-picked, side by side

The record confirms both u_pick and pre_picked options are available, which the research notes describe as a genuine farm-market alternative for visitors who’d rather not walk the rows themselves. That flexibility is worth knowing about upfront — if the day turns out hotter or muddier than expected, or if picking with young kids in tow sounds like more trouble than it’s worth, buying already-picked apples at the farm market is confirmed as an option here rather than something to hope for on arrival.

The real gap: hours and pricing

Despite the confirmed season window, the record is silent on daily hours and on what u-pick apples actually cost. The source note is specific about why: this information appears to live on separate calendar and pricing sub-pages that weren’t captured in the content fetched from the main apple-orchard page. That’s a meaningfully different kind of gap than an orchard that simply hasn’t posted a season date at all — here, the season is nailed down, but the practical logistics of when to show up and what you’ll pay are not. A call to 815-338-5637 would close that gap before a specific-day visit.

Activities beyond picking

A wagon ride, corn maze, and pumpkin patch are all confirmed, rounding out a fairly typical family-orchard activity set without the larger ride lineup some other northern-Illinois orchards in this file describe (no carousel or train mentioned here). That positions All Seasons as picking-and-classic-fall-activities focused, rather than a full agritainment build-out.

Bottom line for planning

All Seasons Orchard offers one of the more confidently dated seasons in this file, alongside an unusually complete variety list spanning early to late apples and a genuine choice between u-pick and pre-picked. The one thing worth resolving before you go is hours and pricing, since neither is posted on the pages this record draws from — worth a quick call to 815-338-5637 to fill in that last piece.
