A small, appointment-only farm between Fernley and Fallon that grows apples alongside apricots and peaches — genuinely the thinnest-documented orchard in this Nevada group, with no public storefront or set hours, so a call is not optional here.
Mackie Farms is located at 577 Mason Rd in Hazen, Churchill County, in the Lahontan Valley between Fernley and Fallon in western Nevada. The record describes it plainly as a small, appointment-only farm growing apples, apricots, and peaches, without a public storefront or set hours. Both u-pick and pre-picked produce are confirmed as available, and school tours are listed as an activity — suggesting the farm has some experience hosting organized group visits even without a general public schedule.
Two contact channels are on file: a phone number, 775-830-1854, and an email address, mackiefarms@gmail.com. Payment is cash-only, per the record. Compared to the other two Nevada orchards in this dataset — Gilcrease Orchard’s large, metro-area operation with advance ticketing, and Agape Organics’ certified-organic Saturdays-only schedule — Mackie Farms is described in the research notes as a genuinely minor operation by comparison.
There’s no season_start, season_end, hours, pricing, or apple variety information anywhere in this record. That’s not an oversight in how this draft was written — it reflects what’s actually available. The sources behind this record are a pickyourown.org-derived listing and a ZoomInfo business record, neither of which functions as a rich, descriptive orchard profile the way a farm’s own website or detailed local news coverage might. No orchard website exists in the record at all.
The research notes are direct about this being the thinnest-documented of the three Nevada listings, and recommend the most caution of the three before planning a special trip around it. That’s worth taking at face value rather than filling in with plausible-sounding assumptions about what a “typical” small Nevada apple farm might offer.
Given the appointment-only model, a cash-only payment expectation, and the school-tour activity listing, this reads as a working farm that accommodates visitors on request rather than one built around daily public access. If you’re interested in visiting, reaching out by phone or email ahead of time isn’t just recommended here — it’s the only way in, since there’s no walk-up option described anywhere in the record.
The Lahontan Valley location itself is worth sitting with for a moment: the record places Hazen between the small towns of Fernley and Fallon in Churchill County, a rural stretch of western Nevada rather than a metro area. That geography helps explain the appointment-only, cash-only, no-storefront model described in the record — this reads as a working farm fitting visitors in around its own schedule, not a business built to run as a marketed public destination the way Gilcrease Orchard does inside Las Vegas.
Of the three Nevada listings in this dataset, Mackie Farms is the one to treat as a possibility rather than a plan. Gilcrease Orchard has confirmed fall hours, ticket pricing, and a defined public season. Agape Organics has a specific weekly schedule, named varieties, and a formal organic certification claim. Mackie Farms has none of that in the record — only a location, a crop list, and two ways to get in touch. That doesn’t make it any less real as a working farm, but it does mean this is the entry in the file where the honest answer to “what should I expect” is “ask the farm directly,” rather than anything this record can tell you in advance.
Mackie Farms is a real, small farm growing apples alongside apricots and peaches in the Lahontan Valley, and it’s included in this dataset because it does grow apples and does welcome visitors. But almost everything a visitor would want to know — when, what it costs, what varieties are available — isn’t in the record. Contact the farm directly at 775-830-1854 or mackiefarms@gmail.com before treating this as a planned destination, and go in expecting the most limited, least-documented experience of the three Nevada orchards covered here.
