About Hidden Hollow Orchard

Enjoy heirloom and unusual apples at their best with the country fresh air and sunshine.

Seasonal News

Whether due to global warming or the vagaries of nature, the warm winter and late frosts nipped the buds and reduced the apple crop to nearly nil. So, sadly, we will not be open this season

Instead, the orchard will be allowed to become overgrown for the wildlife who like to sleep among the trees, shrubs, and tall grasses, and eat the seeds. (Which, believe it or not, they would enjoy in anybody's yard.)

Anyone wishing to visit to chat, carrot the horses, have a picnic, sit on the tractors, peruse the orchard, look for wildlife, or pat the kitties (who would be over-joyed), are welcome to come by appointment.

We are looking forward to next year, with some curiosity, to see if the nature will offer us a bumper crop of beautiful apples, so we may welcome our dear patient and charming visitors once again.

We mourn the loss of Misty the pony. She was so aged, nobody knew exactly how old she was. No other pony can ever replace her. But if anyone knows of an old pony in need of a retirement home, please, let us know.

Who We Are

Hidden Hollow borders on Floyds Fork, a stream running through Oldham and Jefferson counties, near Louisville, Kentucky. The watershed provides a continuous green space connecting farmland, forests, parks and low density development as it meanders to the Salt River. Hidden Hollow is a refuge for abundant native wildlife at the edge of an major urban area. Its surprising diversity of flora and feathered and furry families inspired us to protect and enhance the habitat, and to pass along what we have learned to others who may have a similar opportunity.
