Garwood Orchards

Stepping onto the grounds of Garwood Orchards is like slipping into a slower, gentler rhythm where the simple pleasures of the season come quietly into focus. Nestled just outside La Porte, this family-friendly farm and market unfolds with an inviting warmth that feels both familiar and fresh. The air carries the scent of ripe apples mingled with the earthiness of freshly turned soil, while soft chatter and laughter drift from the orchard paths and bustling produce stands.

Here, the pace encourages you to linger—whether that means meandering through rows of apple trees heavy with fruit, or hopping aboard a horse-drawn wagon that gently carries you across the farm’s charming landscape. It’s the kind of place where young and old find joy in discovery: picking fruit, spotting horses on a sunny afternoon, or simply wandering among vibrant mums and seasonal vegetables that speak of harvest time. The friendly faces behind the stands and in the shop add a layer of genuine hospitality that makes each visit feel personal, not hurried.

Garwood Orchards offers more than just fresh produce; it’s a mosaic of little moments that linger—the crisp snap of an apple bitten into on a chilly fall day, the sweet, fleeting warmth of a freshly made donut (a local favorite, though often snapped up quickly), or a cup of apple cider slushie that cools and refreshes as you explore. The variety and care reflected in every fruit, vegetable, and handcrafted apple pie reveal the orchard’s deep connection to the land and its guests.

Whether you’re making a yearly tradition of fruit picking, discovering new flavors at the farm stand, or simply soaking in the pastoral charm, Garwood Orchards invites you to slow down and savor the human moments woven through its fields. It’s a place where hospitality, harvest, and heartfelt welcome grow naturally together.
