A family-owned Lawrence County farm since 1962 (on land dating to 1937) with a broader stone-fruit and berry mix than most apple-only peers, but the orchard's own site couldn't be reached, so u-pick availability and pricing remain unconfirmed.
Applacres is located at 9104 State Road 37 in Bedford, Lawrence County, roughly three miles south of town per third-party sources. Hours are reported as 9am-6pm Monday through Saturday and 1pm-6pm Sunday, and the phone number, 812-279-9721, is listed — but all of this comes from third-party directories (FarmZenda, Wheree, pickyourown.org) rather than the orchard’s own site, which wasn’t successfully fetched during this research on September 2, 2026.
The clearest seasonal statement available is simply “in season, you can pick your own apples,” per those secondary listings — a real confirmation that u-pick exists here, but with no specific 2026 dates, varieties, or prices attached to it.
What distinguishes Applacres from many other orchards in this research batch is the range of fruit grown beyond apples: peaches, pears, blackberries, and nectarines, per third-party sources. Most orchards in this list lean apple-only, with maybe a pumpkin patch added for fall programming. Applacres’ broader stone-fruit and berry mix suggests a farm that draws visitors across a longer stretch of the growing season, not just during a compressed fall apple window — though the record doesn’t specify separate seasons for each crop.
Family-owned since 1962, on a farm whose land reportedly dates back to 1937, Applacres has real longevity — comparable to several of the older family farms in this research batch, though not quite reaching the 1894 or 1922 founding dates claimed for a couple of peers. The farm also reportedly maintains a year-round retail operation selling apple butter, cider, and other preserves, which is a meaningful detail for anyone hoping to visit outside the u-pick season and still come away with something.
Because the orchard’s own website couldn’t be reached during this research, there’s no way to confirm current apple varieties, 2026 u-pick dates, or pricing for this record. That’s a real limitation: a visitor relying only on this record has a good sense of Applacres’ character and history, but not enough to plan a specific trip date around a specific apple. The honest move here is to treat the described hours and general seasonal statement as a starting point, then verify directly.
Call 812-279-9721 to confirm whether u-pick apples are currently available, what varieties are ripe, and current pricing — none of which could be confirmed from the sources checked in this research. If your visit is more about the year-round retail products (apple butter, cider, preserves) than picking itself, those may be available on a more predictable schedule than the seasonal u-pick.
Applacres brings real history (family-owned since 1962, on land dating to 1937) and a wider stone-fruit and berry selection than most apple-focused peers in this research, plus a year-round retail operation for apple butter and cider. What it doesn’t offer in this record is any confirmed 2026 pricing, variety list, or specific season dates — the orchard’s own site was unreachable, so a phone call is the only way to fill those gaps before visiting.
