Four generations of the Royal Oak Farm family live and work at Royal Oak Farm Orchard. Three orchards cover over 50 acres with more than 17,000 trees that feature 30 varieties of apples. Royal Oak Farm Orchard has one of the largest selections of winter squash available in one place in all sizes, shapes, & colors.

Young and old alike can take a ride on the "Royal Oak Express"- a 19th century replica train inspired by authentic railroad tradition. Hop on the "Royal Oak Carousel" and round up one of the 14 horses or take a seat in the chariot as you listen to old fashioned calliope music. Children love the large play group toys including a John Deer tractor, fire engine, train and more.
