Dougherty Apple Orchard

A fourth-generation family orchard at Marion in Grant County, with u-pick apples across 18 varieties, run by Anna and her husband. Reviewers consistently describe the owners walking pickers out to the right trees and talking them through which varieties suit jam, pie filling or eating - a small, uncrowded, knowledge-led operation rather than an agritourism destination. Own cider, honey, and a good selection of pumpkins and gourds in autumn. Tractor rides. Google currently lists Saturday 10am-5pm as the only open day, so check before making the trip midweek. Not to be confused with Dougherty Orchards & Winery at Cambridge City in Wayne County - a separate and unrelated Dougherty family operation.
