Reid's Orchard

Our take

What the record confirms

Reid’s Orchard sits at 4818 State Route 144 in Owensboro, Daviess County, in Western Kentucky. It’s a fifth-generation family farm, according to the research notes, and one noted locally as among the first in Kentucky to adopt high-density apple orcharding — a detail about how the trees are grown and spaced rather than a claim about the fruit itself. The phone number on file is +1 270-685-2444, and the site is reidorchard.com. The farm is open daily, with hours of 9am to 6pm Monday through Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday.

A real, dated U-Pick window — with an honest asterisk

This is the strongest piece of information in the record: Reid’s Orchard’s own homepage carries a live banner, quoted verbatim in the source note, reading “u-pick Apples Sept 5th-13th after 13th call to see if still available.” That’s about as direct a piece of seasonal guidance as an orchard can give — a specific nine-day window, plus an explicit instruction to call after it closes.

The one asterisk worth flagging: the banner itself doesn’t print a year next to those dates. Given this research was conducted in September 2026, the dates were read as this season’s live notice rather than a stale leftover from a prior year, but the record deliberately leaves formal confirmation of the year unmarked rather than assuming it. In practice, if you’re reading this any time close to early-to-mid September, treat the window as current and call +1 270-685-2444 to double-check, especially if your visit falls after the 13th — the orchard’s own language suggests apples may already be picked out by then.

No confirmed apple varieties

Here’s the honest gap: Reid’s Orchard has a dedicated “Apples” section on its Apple House page, but per the record, that text block was an unfinished placeholder — essentially template text with no actual variety names filled in. That means this record can’t tell you whether Reid’s grows early-season apples like Ginger Gold, mid-season varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala, or late-season apples like Fuji — only that U-Pick apples are on offer during the confirmed window. The same goes for pricing: nothing on price per bag or per pound was found.

Beyond apples

The record lists a fuller slate of fall activities than many single-purpose orchards: a corn maze, a U-Pick flower field (a nice pairing if you want to bring home more than just apples), a “Reidland” play area for kids, and wagon rides. The farm is also known locally, per the research notes, for a long-running fall Apple Festival — though the record couldn’t confirm whether that festival is happening in 2026 specifically, so treat that as background context rather than a confirmed 2026 event.

General season context

Outside the specific U-Pick window, the record notes a broader “September & October: apples, pumpkins, and mums” framing from the Apple House page — useful for knowing the farm’s general fall identity, even though it doesn’t add a specific date beyond the Sept 5-13 U-Pick banner.

Bottom line for planning

Reid’s Orchard gives visitors one of the more specific, dated U-Pick windows in this file — September 5th through 13th — straight from the orchard’s own homepage, plus a corn maze, flower field, play area, and wagon rides to round out a visit. What it doesn’t offer is any confirmed apple variety name or price, and the orchard’s own site tells you plainly to call ahead if you’re arriving after the 13th, so a quick call to +1 270-685-2444 is worth building into the plan either way.
