Beal Orchard

Our take

The short version

Beal Orchard is a small, longstanding family operation in Harper County, toward the southern edge of the greater Wichita apple-picking radius. Rather than specializing narrowly in apples, the farm grows a broad mix of produce — apples, peaches, tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins — sold through an on-site country store that offers both pick-your-own and pre-picked options.

An hours pattern worth flagging directly

This is the single most important practical detail in this record: Beal Orchard’s schedule runs Monday through Friday, 10am to 5pm, with a shorter Saturday window of 10am to 2pm, and no Sunday hours at all. That’s essentially the reverse of what many of the more festival-oriented orchards in this research offer, where weekend hours (and often extended Friday evening hours) are the main draw and weekdays are quieter or nonexistent. Anyone used to planning a Saturday-or-Sunday apple-picking outing should specifically note that Sunday won’t work here, and Saturday itself closes notably early at 2pm.

Both picking styles, at a country store

Third-party listings describe both u-pick and pre-picked apples and peaches available through an on-site country store, giving visitors flexibility depending on how much hands-on picking they want to do. That mirrors a pattern seen at a few other smaller operations in this research, where the choice between picking yourself and simply buying already-harvested fruit is built into the business rather than being an either-or decision.

A genuinely diversified small farm

Growing tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins alongside apples and peaches suggests Beal Orchard operates more like a general small farm than a dedicated apple destination. For a visitor, that could mean a worthwhile stop even outside peak apple season, if other produce is what’s currently ripe — though this record doesn’t detail a month-by-month breakdown of what’s available when. That diversification also means a call ahead is doubly useful: it can confirm both whether apples are currently ready and what else might be worth picking up on the same visit.

The honest gaps

No dedicated orchard website exists for Beal Orchard, which means a phone call to 620-896-7044 is the only reliable way to check current season status, apple availability, and pricing. Payment is cash-and-check-only, per third-party listings, so plan accordingly rather than assuming a card will work. No 2026-specific season dates, apple varieties, or pricing were confirmed in the sources checked.

Getting there

Beal Orchard is at 131 NE 100 Road in Harper, in Harper County’s Wichita area. The coordinates on file are a Harper city-center approximation rather than a geocode of the NE 100 Road address, so use the street address itself for navigation rather than a generic town pin.

Bottom line

Beal Orchard is a small, diversified family farm offering both u-pick and pre-picked apples alongside a broader produce mix, but its weekday-heavy hours and Sunday closure make it a different kind of visit than the weekend-focused orchards common elsewhere in this research. With no website to check, calling ahead is the only way to confirm current details before making the trip to Harper County.
