For over a century, Delicious Orchards has been a cherished destination in Colts Neck – but it’s the McDonald family who gave the country market its heart. What began as a roadside apple stand is now a 60,000-square-foot destination for scratch-made baked goods, pristine produce, and specialty groceries. Bill McDonald, who started stocking produce in the 1970s, now runs the family-owned business with his wife, Linda, their four children, and a growing crew of grandchildren.

Customer favorites like apple cider donuts, seasonal pies, and house-baked cookies continue to headline, while additions like the expanded fresh-cut fruit section and seasonal Honeycrisp apple cider offer tasty new discoveries. Families can enjoy lunch at the Cider Café or sip an espresso while taking in orchard views.

With nearly 250 employees, some having worked there for decades, Delicious Orchards isn’t just family-run – it’s family-grown. The McDonalds have built a culture that brings staff, vendors, and customers together like one extended family. Whether you’re stopping by for your weekly favorites or browsing the online gift shop to share Delicious Orchards with loved ones across the country, you’ll discover why customers keep coming back. Follow @deliciousorchards year-round for seasonal favorites, exclusive deals, and the latest happenings at the market.
