The 16 Best Apple Orchards in Wisconsin

Before leaving, check crop availability, picking dates, admission and reservations. A farm’s full variety list describes what it grows over a season, rather than what you can buy or pick on every visit.

Plan Your Orchard Visit

Choose your Wisconsin orchard according to the experience you want. For U-pick, confirm the day’s crop and any admission requirements. For heirloom varieties, cider or baked goods, a farm store can be a rewarding stop even without picking. Check official updates before a long drive, especially near the end of the season.
