Fieldstone Orchard

Our take

The short version

Fieldstone Orchard, in Overbrook in Osage County, is described by multiple regional guides as one of the largest u-pick operations in the stretch between Topeka and Kansas City — 38 named apple varieties, plus pears, plums, and berries, spread across roughly 12 acres dotted with seven ponds. An on-site “Cider Barn” presses its own cider rather than sourcing it elsewhere, a genuine point of distinction. The complication with this record is that the farm’s current website leans heavily toward a mail-order fruit business rather than a visitor’s guide, so several details that would normally come straight from the source instead rely on third-party descriptions.

An unusually wide variety count

Thirty-eight named apple varieties is among the highest counts in this entire research project, on par with or exceeding some of the larger commercial orchards covered elsewhere. That figure comes from multiple regional guides and directories rather than the farm’s own copy directly, so while it’s a consistent, repeated claim across sources, it wasn’t independently confirmed word-for-word on Fieldstone’s own site.

Two sets of hours that don’t quite match

Here’s a detail worth flagging directly: the farm’s own site states hours of 9am to 4:30pm, while third-party listings describe a different schedule — Tuesday through Saturday 9am to 5pm, and Sunday noon to 6pm. This record didn’t resolve which is more current, so treat the farm’s own stated hours (9am-4:30pm) as the more authoritative baseline, but confirm by phone if your visit timing matters, since the discrepancy suggests one source may be outdated.

Fresh cider, pressed on-site

The Cider Barn detail is worth calling out specifically: rather than trucking in cider from elsewhere, Fieldstone reportedly presses its own on-site, according to third-party guides. Combined with the described rolling-hills setting and seven ponds, this reads as a genuinely scenic, larger-scale property — assuming the third-party descriptions hold up, since they weren’t verified word-for-word on the farm’s current site.

A website built for mail order, not visitors

The most important honest note in this record: Fieldstone’s website, as fetched, emphasizes mail and online ordering — with processing times up to two weeks mentioned — rather than describing on-site u-pick hours and pricing in visitor-facing detail. That’s a real shift in how the business seems to be presenting itself online, and it means some of the specifics a visitor would want most — exact u-pick days, per-pound pricing — simply weren’t confirmed firsthand for this record.

Getting there

Fieldstone Orchard is at 7049 E 149th St in Overbrook, in Osage County’s Topeka area. The coordinates on file are Overbrook city-center estimates rather than a geocode of the E 149th St address.

Bottom line

Fieldstone Orchard is described consistently across multiple sources as a large, scenic, wide-variety operation with real cider-pressing on-site, but the farm’s current web presence is oriented toward mail-order sales rather than visitor information. Before making a special trip for a specific variety, call 785-764-6835 to confirm current u-pick days, hours, and pricing directly.
