Prairie Sky Orchard has been growing apples on Union Road since 1991, when the current owners turned five empty acres into what's now roughly 2,800 dwarf trees across 14 varieties.

Asian pears and raspberries round out the harvest, and a weekend food kiosk adds hot dogs and pulled pork.

Lang's Orchard runs u-pick apples on Secor Road outside Woodstock, weather permitting — a cold snap during spring flowering has forced the orchard to sit out entire seasons rather than sell an off crop.
