City Orchard
Contact & location
Houston, TX 77007
Where City Orchard is located
City Orchard is tucked into Harris County, on the outskirts of Houston. 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 1201 Oliver Street, Houston, TX 77007. That drops most map apps within a few feet of the farm gate.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding Harris County back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Houston itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.
