Steele Orchard - Cullman AL

May not be the best year for apples with dry summer. We bought half a bushel of gala anpples to split with a friend and when we got home, the majority of them had cracked up. They were soft and dry and tasteless. Other small bag apples were good. However, I did make apple sauce with these apples and it turned out great. So even they are not edible as a fresh apple, they are good for making apple sauce. I did not add anything to it but was sweet and delicious.

I absolutely love the staff, they make you feel so welcomed. Everything I tried was delicious, the apple muffins were amazing. Definitely worth a stop. Plus there is the sweetest dog named “Little Bit” and she is a great welcoming committee.

One of the hidden gems in Cullman and only 10 minutes off the interstate. $10 for 1/4 pecks and tons of deals on seconds. If you can get there in September that have some of my favorite apples called Mutsu. But definitely check in all during the late summer and early fall for a good pick of all the different varieties they have. They also have group tours for families and schools that were so much fun especially for my elementary students. Oh and I almost forgot the frozen and fresh cider and the best fried pies!

Apple pies were why we went they were good had a good time looking around the store the slushy was worth the drive! We would have loved to have been able to pick a few apples but that was not an option.

What a fun place to go and pick apples and enjoy the fall weather! The little store has yummy goodies & slushies for sale and the staff is super friendly! We plan to come back again in the future!!
