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 hub 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 fresh apple cider donuts, seasonal pies, and house-baked cookies continue to headline, while new additions—including the espresso bar and expanded juice area—keep the experience fresh. This fall, families can enjoy lunch on the patio at theCider Café, complete with orchard views and the return of the famous Apple Cider Slush.

With nearly 250 employees and many staffers having worked there for decades, Delicious Orchards isn’t just family-run—it’s family-grown. The McDonalds have created a one-of-a-kind culture where staff, vendors, and customers feel like part of something bigger. Whether you’re stopping by for your weekly favorites or shipping a gift across the country, every visit to D.O. feels like coming home.
