A six-generation Ohio River Valley farm near the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport, farming the same River Road site since the mid-1800s — but as of this research, the farm's own live U-Pick list hadn't yet flagged apples as ready.
McGlasson Farms sits at 5832 River Road in Hebron, Boone County, in the Ohio River Valley near the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport. Per the research notes, this is a six-generation, family-owned fruit and vegetable operation that has farmed this exact River Road site since the mid-1800s — one of the few genuine U-Pick apple options in this part of the state, according to the research notes. The phone number on file is (859) 689-5229. The farm is open daily: Monday through Friday 9am-6pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am-5pm.
The record draws an important distinction here between the farm’s general self-description and its live, current-season status. McGlasson’s own text lists “our apple orchard and pumpkins in the fall” among its pick-your-own offerings, alongside strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries — so apples are clearly part of the farm’s identity and standing lineup. However, at the specific time this record was researched, the site’s live U-Pick banner listed only blueberries, blackberries, and peaches as currently in season; apples hadn’t yet been flagged as ready, and no 2026-specific apple dates were posted anywhere on the site.
That’s a genuinely useful distinction to carry into planning: this isn’t a farm where apples are uncertain as a category, but one where the exact 2026 timing wasn’t confirmed as of this visit. Calling (859) 689-5229 ahead of a September or October trip is the practical way to close that gap, since the live U-Pick list is clearly the source of truth the farm itself uses to communicate current availability.
Small but practical: the record notes that mcglassonfarms.com had to be fetched over plain http because its https certificate has expired. That means visitors navigating to the site directly may see a browser security warning. It doesn’t reflect anything about the farm’s operations, but it’s worth knowing before assuming a broken-looking page means the farm itself is out of business — this is a website-maintenance detail, not a farm-status one.
Beyond the pick-your-own fruit program, the record confirms a pumpkin patch and a roadside market on site — consistent with a farm that clearly leans into a full growing-season lineup (strawberries and blueberries earlier, blackberries and peaches into summer, apples and pumpkins in fall) rather than a single-crop operation built around apples alone.
No apple varieties are named in the record, and no pricing is given for U-Pick apples or market produce. Given that apples weren’t yet flagged as in-season at research time, that’s not surprising — but it does mean this listing can’t offer specifics beyond “apples are part of the farm’s fall lineup; check current status before visiting.”
McGlasson Farms is a genuinely long-running, six-generation operation in a part of Kentucky — near the airport, in the Ohio River Valley — where U-Pick apple options are relatively scarce, which makes it worth the drive if the timing lines up. The honest caveat is that apples hadn’t been flagged as ready on the farm’s own live list as of this research, so a quick call to (859) 689-5229 in September or October is the way to confirm before making the trip, and don’t be alarmed by a certificate warning if you visit the site directly.
Not stated in the record — call ahead in September/October, since the site's live U-Pick list only had blueberries, blackberries, and peaches flagged as in-season at the time of this research.
