Fall is right around the corner, and it isn’t complete without apple picking. Spice up your autumn with a visit to The Orchard, a charming little family-owned business hiding deep in small-town Texas.

Idalou is a small West Texas town with less than 2500 residents, but it's hiding a big secret: one of our state's most expansive apple orchards. This quaint little place will be your new favorite fall destination.
