A small heirloom-apple orchard and wildlife sanctuary along Floyds Fork with an unusually long list of eight-plus named varieties — but no confirmed hours, days open, or pricing, so calling ahead matters more here than almost anywhere else in this file.
Own site's current seasonal update says apples go half price starting September 7 (year not explicitly stated but posted as part of the 2026 seasonal update); no base price found.
Hidden Hollow Orchard sits along Floyds Fork near the edge of the Louisville metro area, in Jefferson County, at 3200 Apple Hill Road. Per the site’s own meta description, quoted in the record, it’s a “Louisville, Kentucky, orchard and wildlife sanctuary. U-pick and picked-to-order apples. Antique and heirloom apple varieties.” That dual identity — working orchard and wildlife sanctuary — is unusual among the orchards in this file and comes straight from the farm’s own framing of itself. The phone number on file is (502) 767-5245.
This is where Hidden Hollow stands out most clearly: the record lists eight specific named apple varieties — Northern Spy, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Winesap, Jonagold, Melrose, Red Delicious, and Grimes Golden. The research notes go further, describing a roster of 40-plus heritage varieties on site overall, ranging from Grimes Golden to the much less common Esopus Spitzenburg. That’s a genuinely distinctive angle for anyone specifically interested in heirloom apples rather than the handful of commercial varieties most orchards stock — this is one of the only genuine U-Pick options close to Louisville proper built around that kind of depth, as opposed to the Bluegrass region or farms further out.
The record quotes the orchard’s about page directly: “2026 Apple Season Has Arrived! Check for the latest news” — an explicit, dated announcement from the orchard itself that the season is underway. On top of that, the site posts a specific, checkable update: apples go half price starting September 7. No base price was found anywhere in the record, so it’s not possible to say what the discounted price actually comes out to, but the discount claim itself is directly from the site.
Here’s the honest catch with this record: despite fetching the homepage, an about page, a dedicated map-and-times page, and a varieties page, no formal table of hours or days open turned up anywhere in the material reviewed. The site’s layout is described in the research notes as an older-style image-map design, which may explain why this information wasn’t surfaced even from a page apparently dedicated to maps and times. That’s a real gap compared to most other orchards in this file, where at least a general hours range is confirmed. If a visit here is on your list, calling (502) 767-5245 ahead of time isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s close to necessary given what this record can and can’t confirm.
One activity is confirmed beyond apple picking: wildlife viewing, consistent with the site’s self-description as a wildlife sanctuary along Floyds Fork. No further detail — trails, viewing areas, or specific wildlife — is given in the record.
Hidden Hollow Orchard offers something genuinely different from most of this file: a deep bench of heirloom and antique apple varieties, U-Pick and picked-to-order options, a confirmed 2026 season with an explicit half-price date starting September 7, and a wildlife-sanctuary setting close to Louisville. The tradeoff is real uncertainty around the basics — hours, days open, and base pricing are all unconfirmed — so this is a call-first, then-drive situation rather than one you can plan around a posted schedule.
The orchard's own about page states, verbatim per the record: '2026 Apple Season Has Arrived! Check for the latest news' — and a running site update says apples go half price starting September 7.
you need confirmed hours or admission pricing before you go — this record couldn't find either on the site.
The record lists eight named varieties: Northern Spy, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Winesap, Jonagold, Melrose, Red Delicious, and Grimes Golden.
