The Orchard at Cross Plains

Our take

The short version

The Orchard at Cross Plains is best known locally for tree-ripened peaches, according to directory sources, and reportedly also offers apples, berries, and strawberries, plus picnic areas and wedding-venue bookings. It’s worth being upfront about the limits of this record: no official working website was located for this business, so every detail here comes from directory listings and a Facebook post glimpsed through a search snippet, rather than the orchard confirming anything about itself directly.

Peaches first, apples as a secondary crop

Directory sources frame this farm around its tree-ripened peaches specifically, with apples mentioned as part of a broader fruit lineup rather than the headline crop. If you’re specifically hunting for apples, this record suggests The Orchard at Cross Plains may be more of a secondary stop than a primary apple destination, similar in spirit to how Jaemor Farms in Georgia and Neal Creek Retreat elsewhere in this Tennessee section both lean on other crops as their primary identity.

Picking here may not mean walking rows yourself

This is the most important nuance in the record: a farm-directory description from plantgraph.com describes picking as “largely by order/drive-by,” which suggests a different model than strolling through orchard rows and filling your own bag. A separate farm-trail directory, usfarmtrail.com, describes u-pick apples, berries, and strawberries as available — a more traditional self-serve framing. With no official website to settle the disagreement, this record can’t tell you with confidence which picture is accurate, or whether both models might apply depending on the crop or time of year.

A long season, if the directory is current

The “seasonally open mid-May through mid-October” description, also from the farm directory, suggests a season considerably longer than a typical apple-only window — which makes sense if peaches, berries, and strawberries are all part of the rotation across the spring and summer before apples take over in the fall. That said, this isn’t confirmed on any site the orchard itself controls, so treat it as a directory’s characterization rather than a guaranteed schedule.

A venue as much as a farm

Wedding-venue bookings and picnic areas being mentioned alongside the fruit offerings suggest this property has built out infrastructure for events beyond simple produce sales — another point of similarity to some of the more agritourism-oriented stops elsewhere in this file, though here it comes with considerably less confirmed detail about how any of it actually operates.

Why this is the thinnest entry in the Tennessee section

Given the multiple, sometimes-conflicting directory sources and the total absence of an official website, this record can’t confirm a phone number, specific hours, apple varieties, pricing, or 2026 season dates. That combination of gaps — no direct source, no confirmed contact information, and conflicting descriptions of the picking model itself — makes this genuinely the least independently verified entry among the Tennessee orchards covered in this file.

What to do with this listing

Treat this as a lead worth investigating locally rather than a confirmed destination to plan a trip around. If you’re in the Cross Plains area and interested in tree-ripened peaches or a fall apple stop, it may be worth searching current local sources or asking around locally for up-to-date contact information, since none was reliably available for this record.

Getting there

The Orchard at Cross Plains is at 6900 Blackberry Lane in Cross Plains, Robertson County, Tennessee, in Middle Tennessee.

Bottom line

This is a directory-sourced lead rather than a confirmed visitor destination. The disagreement between sources on whether picking is open-field or call-ahead/drive-by is the single most important thing to resolve locally before planning a trip here specifically for apples.
