I’ve always enjoyed driving to Boyd’s orchard (see the video above). It’s a wonderful drive through the rolling green fields of the Jessamine countryside into Versailles. The orchard itself is immensely fun. There is a gift shop, café, and playground. They even have a hay ride.

The Food!

In their café they have the standard food you would find in most American restaurants:
• Hamburgers
• Hot dogs
• Onion rings
• Chicken strips

The Apples

What makes Boyd’s orchard stand apart are the apples. They had every conceivable treat made from the juicy delicious fruit:
• Apple cider
• Apple slushy
• Fried apple pie
• And the list goes on…

Needless to say I ate more sugary treats than I should have. But it was well worth it!

The playground

There is a playground for the little kids with a small slide made of hay. For the bigger kids they have a larger slide that is several stories high, also made of hay. Sorry parents, the slide is only for the kids. Also throughout the day there is a hay ride around the orchard.

If you enjoy apples, I would recommend a trip to Boyd’s orchard in Versailles, Kentucky. Enjoy the drive and bring an appetite.
