Knowlan Family Farm

Our take

What the record actually confirms

Knowlan Family Farm is located at 3243 State Highway 34 in Burfordville, Cape Girardeau County, in southeast Missouri. Per the orchard’s own site, read September 3, 2026, it’s open 9am to 5pm Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays. The site makes a specific and notable claim: over 29 varieties of u-pick apples, which stands out as one of the largest reported variety counts among the orchards covered in this research.

The record also confirms a cider mill on-site, farm tours and field trips as offered activities, and both u-pick and pre-picked fruit available. Separately, Missouri Life magazine’s fall-flavors feature, checked the same day, describes fresh-pressed cider specifically at Knowlan — a detail that adds useful color, though it’s worth noting the orchard’s own site doesn’t repeat that specific “fresh-pressed” framing on the pages reached.

An unusually wide variety count, without the individual names

Twenty-nine-plus apple varieties is a genuinely large number — most orchards in this research either don’t name a variety count at all or list somewhere between three and a dozen specific named varieties. The catch is that Knowlan’s site apparently states the total without naming each one individually on the pages checked here. That means you can be reasonably confident there’s a wide selection spanning the season, likely including early, mid, and late-ripening apples, but you can’t know in advance whether a specific variety you’re after — say, Honeycrisp or GoldRush — is part of that lineup without asking on-site or calling first.

More than just an apple stop

Research notes on this record describe a broader u-pick lineup beyond apples: peaches, pears, blueberries, blackberries, and pumpkins are all reportedly grown here too. On top of that, the farm hosts field trips, birthday parties, and weddings, which suggests Knowlan has built out event infrastructure well beyond a typical seasonal fruit stand. If you’re looking for a farm that can serve as a venue as well as a picking destination, this is one of the more event-oriented operations in this research batch.

A lower-confidence map location

One honest caveat about this listing: Burfordville is a small unincorporated community, and the latitude and longitude used here are an approximate estimate for that community rather than a precise geocode of the Highway 34 address. If you’re navigating by GPS coordinates rather than typing in the street address directly, you may end up somewhat off from the actual farm entrance — plug in “3243 State Highway 34, Burfordville, MO” directly rather than relying on the map pin alone.

What’s missing

No specific 2026 season dates are given, and no pricing — per-bag, per-pound, or otherwise — is listed for apples or any of the other fruit. Given the reported variety count and multi-fruit lineup, pricing here could plausibly vary by fruit type or variety, but that’s speculation on our part, not something confirmed in the record. Phone number (573) 704-3831 is the listed way to check current pricing and what’s ripe before you go.

Bottom line

Knowlan Family Farm’s claimed 29-plus apple varieties, working cider mill, and broad multi-fruit lineup (peaches, pears, blueberries, blackberries, pumpkins) make it one of the more ambitious-sounding operations in this southeast Missouri research, especially combined with its event hosting for field trips, birthdays, and weddings. The gaps — no individual variety names, no 2026 dates, no pricing — mean a call ahead is worthwhile if you have a specific fruit, date, or budget in mind, but the breadth of what’s on offer here is genuinely distinctive compared to its peers in this batch.
