Peach-A-Palooza 2009

Summer time means lots of things for different people. For us, it means ripe, juicy peaches! Our family wants to invite yours to join us this Saturday, July 18th for our second annual Peach-A-Palooza. This event will be fun for your whole family. We’ll have all kinds of peachy treats like homemade peach salsa, peach barbeque, peach cobbler, peach ice cream and more! We’ll also have Durham Beef hamburgers on the grill along with some fresh sweet corn. Something new for us is what we’re calling “Touch My Truck.” Bring the kids to get up close to the big trucks that they see around town and want to inspect a little closer. We'll have a dump truck, semi truck, concrete truck, wrecker, and many more. Admission is free for everyone, so come ready for great local food and family fun! Peaches and sweet treats available all day. Touch My Truck runs from 10 - 2. It’s gonna be peachy!

Celebrate Spring at Hintons!

We are busy preparing the farm for a new year of crops and for the return of visitors! Make plans to join us for Hinton's Orchard's first annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 11 at 11 a.m. The egg hunt will have four age divisions with prizes for all. Hunt for eggs among the apple blossoms! We love fall at the farm, but are very excited about sharing the spring season at the orchard with your family. There is no prettier time of year here!

Our trees are coming to life with blooms popping up in the peaches and blooms are only days away in the apples. Our strawberry patches are awakening, and this past weekend our family enjoyed the first asparagus from our garden. We look forward to sharing it with you over the next few weeks! If you like asparagus, you will love farm fresh asparagus!

Hinton's Orchard opens for the year next Wednesday, April 8 at 9 am. We will be open Monday - Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm. Come see us for your flower and vegetable needs. We will have asparagus when we open and continue to add more fresh produce in the coming weeks. Local meat & cheeses are available as well. Call us to place an order for your favorite cakes, cookies, or pies from Hinton's Kitchen or stop in to see what is available.

We are all looking forward to welcoming you back to the farm. Jacob has missed all of the "company" and is looking forward to the Easter Egg Hunt!

Upcoming Events

It's a busy time of year around here right now and we've been seeing lots of you coming out for a visit. Thanks! We really appreciate that. I wanted to take a minute to put up some information related to the next couple of weekends. This weekend, October 4 & 5, we'll be set up at Lincoln Days Festival in downtown Hodgenville. If you're coming to the festival be sure and stop by for a visit. Joanna will be taking care of the booth in town, and Jeremy will be keeping things going at the farm. We'll be open as usual from 9am - 6pm Saturday. On Sunday, we'll be open from 1-6 pm. We'll have hayrides to the pumpkin patch, the corn maze, our play areas, and our bouncy castle. We'll also have hamburgers & hot dogs, caramel apples & apple turnovers fresh from the kitchen. We have a great selection of pumpkins and other fall items, ready for you to decorate your home or business. Make us your one stop for all you fall items!

Next Saturday, October 11th will be our 5th Annual Pumpkinfest here at the farm. We'll have live music, pumpkin painting and the folks from Green River Cattle Company will be grilling ribeye sandwiches, hamburgers, beef brats, and hot dogs. That's in addition to our normal weekend activities. A highlight of this year festival will be free tethered hot air balloon rides from 5-7 pm sponsored in part by LaRue County Farm Bureau Insurance Agency. We're hoping for a big crowd at the end of the day to enjoy this special treat, so plan to come early, have a big day, and then finish it off with a balloon ride. Pumpkinfest is a great day for us and for you, so plan on bringing the whole family out for a great time at Hinton's Orchard.
