Family-owned and operated since 1921, Williams Orchard in Rappahannock County grows peaches, apples, apple cider, garden vegetables, and raises beef cattle.

A Century-Old Farm in Apple Season
A farm that has stayed in one family since 1921 is a different proposition from a weekend attraction. The description we have is plain and unadorned: peaches, apples, cider, vegetables, and cattle. That is the old mixed-farm model of the Piedmont, and it suits an October visit, when apples and fresh cider are the natural draw.
One honest caveat: we have no recent social posts or fresh reporting from the farm, so we cannot tell you which apple varieties are in, whether cider is pressed this week, or what is on the stand. The sensible move is a quick call to (540) 675-3765 before you go. A 4.7 Google rating suggests visitors come away well satisfied.
How to Fold It Into a Rappahannock Day
Rappahannock is the heart of the Piedmont, and a farm stop pairs easily with the county's autumn calendar. Hill House Farm & Nursery in Woodville sells native plants and is open Thursday and Friday 8am to 4pm and Saturday 8am to 2pm, so a Saturday morning could combine the two. If you are building a cooler-weather outing around the arts, the RAAC Fall Art Tour, a self-guided tour of more than 30 studios and galleries and over 80 artists, takes place Sunday, November 1, 2026.
- Buy apples and cider to take home or gift to a host.
- Ask what produce is available that week rather than assuming.
- Bring a cooler for cider on the drive back to the city.
