Historic Weston Orchard & Vineyard

Our take

What the record actually confirms

Historic Weston Orchard & Vineyard sits at 18545 County Road H in Weston, Platte County — part of a small cluster of orchards in what’s known locally as the historic Weston “applejack” area, a short drive from Kansas City. Per the orchard’s own site, read September 3, 2026, it’s open daily, including Mondays and Sundays, from 9am to 5pm, and the record puts its 2026 u-pick apple window at August 1 through November 30.

Pricing here is more detailed than most orchards in this research batch. Admission runs $9.99 per person (ages 3 and up) on weekdays, jumping to $17.99 on weekends — a gap wide enough that it’s worth planning a weekday trip if your schedule allows it. Weston residents pay a discounted $12.99, active military $14.99, and children under 3 get in free. That admission price isn’t just a picking fee: the record states it includes parking, access to play zones, and a hayrack ride.

A wider lineup than the apples alone

Unlike many of the smaller, apples-only stops in this research, Historic Weston Orchard has built out a genuine agritourism park around the picking itself. The record lists a corn maze, a zipline, and pedal karts alongside the hayrack ride included with admission — enough to fill most of a day even if the apple rows themselves don’t take long to work through. If you’re bringing kids who’ll lose interest in picking after twenty minutes, this is one of the stronger options in Missouri for that reason alone.

There’s also a cider mill on-site, with cider donuts confirmed in the record, though neither a price nor a specific serving window for the donuts is given. Worth asking about when you arrive, especially if a donut run is the actual point of the trip for part of your group.

Four named varieties, out of a reported twelve

The record names four apple varieties available for picking: Honeycrisp, Fuji, Pink Lady, and Jonathan. That’s a reasonable spread across the ripening calendar — Honeycrisp typically mid-season, Fuji and Pink Lady classic late-season apples, and Jonathan an old, reliable mid-season variety still widely grown in Missouri. Research notes on this record mention that the orchard’s own site claims twelve total varieties grown, but only these four are actually named on the pages reached during this research. That’s a meaningful gap if a specific variety matters to your trip — there’s no way from this record alone to know what the other eight might be, or when they’d be ready.

One overlapping question worth resolving before you go

The source material behind this record describes a stated season of “May through November 2026” for the property in general, while the u-pick apple window specifically is listed as August 1 through November 30. Those two windows aren’t necessarily in conflict — an orchard with vineyard operations, other fruit, or spring events could reasonably run a longer overall season than its apple-picking window — but the record doesn’t spell out what’s happening on the property between May and the start of apple picking in August. If you’re planning an early-season trip specifically for apples, a quick call to (816) 640-4013 before driving out is the safer move.

Bottom line

Historic Weston Orchard & Vineyard reads as one of the more fully built-out apple-picking destinations in this Missouri research — daily hours across a long season, a real activity lineup (hayrack ride, corn maze, zipline, pedal karts), a working cider mill, and pricing detailed enough to actually plan around. The tradeoff is variety transparency: only four of a reportedly larger apple lineup are named, and the exact start of the apple-picking window relative to the property’s broader season isn’t fully spelled out. Neither gap should stop you from visiting — they’re just worth a quick phone confirmation if you have a specific apple or a specific August date in mind.
