Wea Creek Orchard

Our take

What the record actually confirms

Wea Creek Orchard sits at 5618 S 200 E in Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, and is open 10am-6pm Thursday through Saturday and 12pm-6pm Sunday. The address, hours, and phone number (765-807-6142) all came directly from weacreekorchard.com when read on September 2, 2026 — a stronger footing than several other records in this batch, where the orchard’s own site couldn’t be reached at all.

The orchard’s own site also listed current-week ripe varieties at the time of the read: Mollies Delicious, Fuji, and Blondee. That’s a genuinely useful, dated data point — not a full-season guess, but an actual snapshot of what was pickable on September 2, 2026.

One of the longer confirmed variety lists in this research

Thirteen varieties are named in the record, all attributed to the orchard’s own site: Mollies Delicious, Fuji, Blondee, Ginger Gold, Pristine, Zestar, Early Mac, McIntosh, Paula Red, Gala, Gravenstein, Spartan, and Honeycrisp. That spans the full ripening calendar — Ginger Gold, Pristine, Zestar, Early Mac, and Paula Red are all early-season types, McIntosh and Gala sit mid-season, and Honeycrisp bridges into the fall crowd favorites. Blondee and Mollies Delicious are less commonly seen names compared to peers in this research batch, which is worth knowing if you’re the type of visitor who likes to try something you haven’t picked before.

Because the site listed Mollies Delicious, Fuji, and Blondee as currently ripe as of the early-September read date, and Fuji is typically a later-ripening apple, that specific combination suggests either an early strain of Fuji or simply that the site’s “currently ripe” list moves through the full 13-variety roster as the season progresses — the record doesn’t say which, so don’t assume this is the full late-season lineup yet.

A newer orchard with an unusual pairing

Established in 2008, Wea Creek is younger than most of the historic family orchards in this research batch, several of which trace back to the early-to-mid 1900s. It covers more than 160 acres with nearly 5,000 apple, peach, and cherry trees. What sets it apart most is the on-site Lavender Bee Company lavender operation, paired with wedding events hosted on the same property — a combination not found elsewhere in this list. If you’re picking apples with an eye toward also seeing (or photographing) a working lavender field, this is a genuinely distinctive option.

The festival dates, and why they’re flagged as uncertain

The site listed a Fall Fest for September 20 and a Great Apple Jam Festival for October 10. Neither date carried an explicit “2026” label in the page text checked during this research, which is why they’re treated as strong-but-not-fully-certain evidence that the 2026 season is running on schedule, rather than a locked confirmation. In practice, these are very likely current, but a quick check of the site closer to those dates is worth doing before planning a trip specifically around them.

Bottom line

Wea Creek Orchard offers one of the more solidly documented records in this batch — a real address, phone, hours, and a 13-variety list all confirmed directly from the orchard’s own site, plus a dated snapshot of what’s currently ripe. Its lavender operation and newer, larger-scale footprint set it apart from the smaller historic farms nearby. The one soft spot is the festival dates, which look current but weren’t explicitly year-confirmed, so double-check timing if a festival is the reason for your trip.
