A 450-plus-acre Lake Cumberland farm operating since the 1870s with a pie shop and cafe — but the orchard's own site says U-Pick is only open 'at times in the year,' so this isn't a farm you can count on for walk-up picking anytime you like.
Haney’s Appledale Farm sits at 8350 Kentucky Highway 80 in Nancy, Pulaski County, anchoring the Lake Cumberland tourism region. Per the research notes, this is a farm of more than 450 acres that has been operating since the 1870s, growing over 25 apple varieties along with peaches, pears, and nectarines. The phone number on file is (606) 636-6148, and the site is haneysappledalefarm.com. The farm is open all week: Monday through Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 1pm-5pm.
This is the key thing to understand about Haney’s before planning a trip: the record quotes the farm’s own site directly, saying “at times in the year, we open our orchards to customers to pick their own fruit.” That phrasing is meaningfully different from an orchard that names a season and lets you plan around it — here, U-Pick access is something the farm turns on and off, and no specific 2026 date range is posted. In practice, that means the farm-stand-and-market side of the operation (open all week per the confirmed hours) is the reliable part of a visit, while pick-your-own access is something worth confirming by phone before you build a trip around it specifically.
The research notes describe Haney’s as one of the oldest working farms in the region — operating since the 1870s — and note that it’s sometimes described, per the Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce as cited in a third-party travel article, as “Pulaski County’s oldest continuously operating business.” That’s a striking claim, but the record is careful to note it wasn’t independently verified against a primary Chamber source during this research — it’s presented here as a secondhand claim worth knowing about, not as an independently confirmed fact.
Per the research notes, Haney’s grows more than 25 apple varieties, plus peaches, pears, and nectarines — a broader orchard than a single-fruit operation. No specific apple variety names made it into the structured record, though, so this listing can’t tell you whether early, mid, or late-season varieties are the farm’s focus, only that the range is described as extensive.
Two confirmed activities round out the picture: a pie shop and cafe on site, and school group tours. Together with the farm’s fruit-stand role in the Lake Cumberland tourism circuit, these suggest a farm built as much around visiting and buying as around picking — consistent with the “at times in the year” framing of U-Pick access described above.
Haney’s Appledale Farm is a genuinely long-running, large-scale operation with a real pie shop, cafe, and school-tour program, and a broad range of fruit grown across more than 450 acres. What it doesn’t offer is a predictable U-Pick calendar — the farm’s own words make clear that picking access comes and goes through the year rather than running on a fixed season, so a call to (606) 636-6148 before the drive to Nancy is the difference between a wasted trip and a good one if picking apples yourself is the goal.
Not stated in the record — the orchard's own site describes U-Pick as available only 'at times in the year' rather than a defined seasonal window, so calling ahead is the only reliable way to know.
you're planning a trip solely around guaranteed U-Pick access — the record shows this is only sometimes available, not a standing daily offering.
Sometimes. The record states the farm's own site says, 'at times in the year, we open our orchards to customers to pick their own fruit' — meaning U-Pick isn't a standing daily option, and no specific 2026 window is posted.
Not stated in the record. Research notes describe the farm as growing over 25 apple varieties plus peaches, pears, and nectarines, but no specific variety names are listed as confirmed data.
