Beasley’s Orchards & Gardens

We went out here for their Heartland Apple Fest. It was quite pricey at roughly $ 16 per person. I thought that was quite a lot to pay considering there was no food included and pumpkin purchases were also extra. Our daughter had fun, but there was only about 2 hours worth of activities and, if we wanted to stay and eat, we would have needed to fork over another $ 20. So, just for a family of 3, we paid about $ 25 per hour. We could have done quite a bit more for that somewhere else. Where we came from from the suburbs of Chicago, events like this were always free and funded by the food and item purchases on site, which I’m pretty sure Beasley could do as well.

I have seriously lived in this town for years and never in my adult life had I been here! What an amazing store attached to the orchard. Fresh fruits, juice, cheeses, pulp. Persimmon pudding is a family recipe passed down for generations, locating pulp has become a little bit of a challenge. One phone call and I was on my way. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Great Grandma’s pudding is making its way thru the holidays and I have found a hidden gem to shop local!

Beasley’s is a cute spot to come on a fall weekend to pick out a pumpkin or tour the apple orchard. They have a tractor ride that takes you to the fields, music, a corn maze, a cute shop with home made goods, a huge bouncy balloon, and a few food trucks. We were only able to go to the pumpkin patch, hay ride, and the store. When we went it was «dog days». It was cute to see all of the puppies running around.
The pumpkins are a bit pricey (based off of size ranging from $ 5-​$ 20). They have bundle deals for the activities, or you can pay for them separately. I can see where the money would add up, but it’s worth it if you make it an all day activity. The kids had a lot of fun — the guy driving the tractor even let our little guy ride up front with him! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is my second year coming here for the corn maze, etc. I can say that I have had a great time both trips. I haven’t visited here throughout the rest of the year so I cannot speak to those times. Only during the fall pumpkin rush. #ciderslushies rock!

We had a birthday party here for my daughter. We were so excited about coming to orchard and having the kids do an apple tour. We were told via email that we only had to pay for the children that were coming to the party. It was not cheap and I had payment ready at arrival. At arrival we were not greeted. We sat. I walked around trying to find someone who could help us. We were ignored. When the «tour guide» finally came she was took me in the barn and wanted payment. She then tried to tell me I had to pay for the parents as well as the kids. This was not what we had spoke about. Kids can’t drive themselves! Plus we had already settled on a payment via email from the «party coordinator». Long short short – we just paid for the kids. I was totally embarrassed. After the apple tour (that guest waited 15 min for) we were promised cookies and cider. (I had made goodies and brought them for the kiddos so I had plenty of food) but the tour guide only had cider for the people we paid for. She made a huge stink about it. I was mortified. Then after I tipped this tour guide (which I shouldn’t have even done.) She set the cider out on the table.
I always liked this Orchard but I tell you birthday parties are a total rip.
We have not been back since.
Moral of the story? Money does not grow on trees – but apples sure do.

What a great little gem out on the west side. I wish we would have known about this place sooner — we’ve been missing out!
We visited this past fall and absolutely loved it. The store has loads of great stuff — lots of apples (duh), other fresh produce, canned preserves, homemade noodles, and backed good. They also have a cider bar where hot cider can be purchased and a bakery where all those delicious apple products are born. Even if coming here weren’t an experience in itself I think we would still come just to buy apples. Their apples are better and less expensive than what you get at the store! Gotta love it.
This is a great little place and we’ll definitely be back next fall.

Beasley’s is a go to in the fall. Between pick your own pumpkins and touring the orchard and mazes, there’s plenty to do while slushy sippin. If it’s just you and a friend, or the whole family, you’re in for a good time. (Don’t forget to grab a gallon or two of their award winning apple cider!)

Wish there had been more activity but middle of the week probably suffers at the orchard, but plan to come back to walk CORNOPOLIS!

I love going here! So family oriented and fresh, not to mention the sweets and homemade goodies. Sometimes, because of the freshness, the price is a little higher than I’d like. However, I’ll always make it a point to stop in every fall.

Beasley’s is a staple in our family. Once Beasley’s corn is ready it’s pure excitment and purchased in large quantities weekly until the supply is gone. Beasley’s carries produce, apples, cider, jams, jellies, stew & chili mixes, cobblers mixes, pickles, sauces, applebutter, candies and many fun cookbooks. Pumpkins, gourds, mums, and straw bales were plentiful last weekend. Apple dumlings, apple pies, and peach pies had sold out and most of the bakery case was empty by 4:00. The last couple weeks the traffic has tripled with fall in the air.
The staff is friendly and very helpful if you need guidance on which type of produce you need for pies, crisps, pickles, sauces or apple butter. Take a moment and have a cider beverage in the café area. The cider is delicious and a fall must for our family. Ever year I purchase a few gifts for Christmas before they close for the winter.
Our family visits most orchards and farmers market on the west and south side and Beasley’s has never disappointed us. Two dozens ears of fresh corn prepared today, apple cobblers, pie, and apple butter certainly didn’t disappoint! I’ll be back later this week for my next projects.

Let me start out by saying I’m a sucker for fall. This pale irish skin is always happy with it’s not just acceptable, but encouraged to cover up when going outside. I love apples, cider, pumpkins, hay bales, corn mazes, mulled wine, stew, and chili. It was pretty much inevitable that I would love the fall festival at Beasley’s.
This corn maze was awesome. This was the first one I’ve been to that was planted into the maze pattern and not grown as a whole field and then cut, so that was pretty cool. As you do the maze, you get to markers. At each marker you answer a question on a sheet you get at the maze entrance and if you answer correctly, you are sent the shorter direction through the maze. There are four miles of trails through the maze, so it can make a difference! It took us around 30 – 45 min to get through the maze. The corn also blocks the wind, so it’s warmer inside the maze than it is out at the farm. It’s $ 8 per adult to go through the maze, and something less for kids (I don’t have them, so I didn’t pay attention). Today they were also giving out plastic bags to tie over your shoes to protect from the mud throughout the maze. HOT TIP — you are not too cool for the plastic bags. Take them and be happy you did.
We didn’t do the hay ride or the u-​pick pumpkins, but we did walk around and look at the vendors there for the festival, and talked to the very nice people Carousel Winery who were there doing tastings. We bought some reasonably priced mums ($ 6.99 for a pretty big sized one), of course a big bag of apples, some apple cider, and an AWESOME caramel apple with walnuts. The band that was playing was really good and helped you forget that it was a little too cold outside.
The only downside was that they charge $ 5 for parking. That put a bad taste in our mouth right off the bat, as we drove all the way from the far east side of Indy to go and nothing on the website mentioned the parking charge, but I do understand that it’s their festival weekends right now and it isn’t free to plant 7 acres of field just for corn maze, so we paid it, but it still would have been nice to know ahead of time.
Regardless, I love fall, corn mazes, and apple cider and the fall festival at Beasley’s really delivered.

This place exceeded all my expectations. I have been going to stucky farms up north for about 4 years and thought no other place could touch it, until I went here. Thus place is actually BETTER for kids, but worse for the experience of picking pumpkins. It has a ton of kid friendly things. Corn maze, hay rides, a mountain of hay for kids to climb on, dogs to adopt, food, fire pit, stage for a band, food vendors and a store.
It seems smaller than stucky but offers a better family experience. I like them both for different reasons, but this place is definitely worth checking out so you can make your own judgments.
