Contact & location
Phoenix, AZ 85041
Where Orchard Community Learning Center is located
Orchard Community Learning Center is tucked into Arizona, on the outskirts of Phoenix. It's one of a handful of working apple farms in this part of the state that still opens the rows to visitors each fall.
The street address is 911 West Baseline Road, Phoenix, AZ 85041. That drops most map apps within a few feet of the farm gate.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Phoenix itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.
