Orchards near Poynette, WI

Poynette

Poynette

Lapacek's Orchard grows more than 50 apple varieties across the season on Kroncke Road in Poynette, with free admission to walk the grounds. This is a pre-picked orchard, not u-pick: you buy apples, cider, and cake donuts at the stand rather than picking your own. Kids can visit the goats and climb a tractor-tire playground. It reopens each year around mid-August.

Waunakee

Fabrita Orchard grows apples on Hogan Road in Waunakee, just north of Madison in Dane County. Orchards ringing the state capital open for fall picking and farm sales, drawing Madison families out for apples, cider, and the autumn season.

Cottage Grove

Door Creek Orchard is a sustainable heirloom apple orchard just outside Madison in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin — trees rooted in prairie, marsh, and woodland, stewarded alongside wetlands, native grasses, and pollinators because apples belong inside an ecosystem. The Griffith family welcomes visitors to share the fall harvest, September through November.

Montello

Apple orchard on County Road M near Montello in Marquette County, run under the Hamilton family name. Montello lies in central Wisconsin's lake and river country between the Fox River and Buffalo Lake. Small orchards here sell fall apples and cider, often pick-your-own, through the harvest season.

Fitchburg

Eplegaarden is a pick-your-own apple orchard and pumpkin patch on Fitchburg Road just south of Madison, its Norwegian name and barn-and-pavilion setting nodding to old-country tradition. Visitors pick apples straight from the trees and choose pumpkins from the patch, with cider, cider donuts, and caramel apples at the stand. The barn and pavilion rent out for events, and the farm sells seasoned apple firewood.
