We went November 1st, so it was past apple picking season, but they had a large variety of picked apples bagged up and ready to purchase. You could get a full, ½ or ¼ bushel bag, depending on your apple needs. We were going to choose Honey Crisp or Red Delicious, but then read the sign about the Melrose variety and decided to try those instead. Oh, my! Crisp, sweet and tart! That’s the nice thing about this place… there are signs describing the attributes of each variety so you know which kind is better for baking versus eating. Also, the prices and varieties are stamped on the bag handles. The bigger the bag, the cheaper the price per pound. Also available here were vegetables, jams, bread, popcorn, cider, ice cream, caramel apples, mums, all the usual Wisconsin fall items. If you didn’t make it to Door County this year, now you know where to go! 30÷2014÷34

Love the caramel apples here! Another perk is they have marshmallow cereal that tastes just like Lucky Charms marshmallows. They carry the Elegant Farmer pies, and their produce is great. Prices are moderate, and staff is very friendly. Great location for city folk like myself. Only complaint is they do not take credit or debit cards.

I love going to this little place. Such amazing fresh and mostly local produce and yummy apple cider. Most things are reasonably priced given what you are getting. Cash only which sucks, but I understand. Huge supply of produce and always seem to buy more then I has wanted too.

I love supporting local businesses, and this is one of my favorite! I stop in for apples all the time in fall and early winter! They have amazing prices and the yummiest fruit! Also a big selection. The«2nds» apples are even cheaper and perfect for baking/applesauce etc. Also, they have a large winter squash selection for waaaaay below grocery store prices. The other day I got 5lbs of Macs, 10lbs of Spartan(2nds — but they looked fine to me!), 6 medium to large squash, a sweet potato, three tomatoes, three bananas for a total of $ 19.50!!! (bring cash or checks — no credit cards!) **All in all a wonderful, must stop-in place! Support local!**

One main reason I go there(5 min. from my house). Fresh Apple Cider! Yum! Even last year with the horrible apple season, they still had cider I think past Christmas. I was seeing gallons in grocery stores for 8 – 9 $ a gallon. They were still selling theirs for 4 or 5 a gallon. They could have raised the prices but they didn’t. Very cool. Also other fresh fruits and veggies, fresh breads, various treats, apple deserts, others. Like a mini farmers market. Very nice people also.

This is the place that introduced me to Honey Crisp apples long before you could find them in every local grocery store. I’ve never done my own picking — just go in and choose from the abundance of flavors available. I love the vast amount of information available, as well. I still have their«calendar» on my fridge to let me know the approximate seasons of each variety and which varieties are best of each application(pie, sauce, eating, etc…) They also always have«seconds» available, which aren’t as pretty, but are cheaper and if you’re cutting them up — who cares?! They also usually have a variety of other fruits and veggies, plus the Lakefront Maple Root Beer another Unilocaler mentioned and caramel apples. This is also the only place I’ve found so far to have unpasteurized apple cider, which is the best option when home-brewing your own hard cider. I used to drive across town to go here, but now it’s just down the street and I think that’s probably going to be dangerous to my wallet.

Great place to get apples during season when you’re a city slicker. A wide variety to choose from, and pretty reasonable prices. Given the location, it’s hard to find a better place for Milwaukeeans to get their apple fix on.

I’VENEVERBEENTONEWBERLIN. I was passing through and stumbled upon Patterson Orchards which has been in business since 1967. Obviously mid August isn’t quite peak apple season but there were a couple varieties so I picked up a bag. They carry a ton of locally made products with some California and Michigan produce mixed in. They also sell Elegant Farmer’s pies — the ones that kicked Bobby Flay’s New York ass. PURCHASED: A bag of apples, pound of Yukon Gold potatoes, popcorn, avocado, one peach, one medium onion Bring cash as they do not accept credit or debit cards. Someone needs to show them the«Square». ***Unchain and Support Local Businesses***

I have been going to this orchard since I was a little kid, as it is only a couple of blocks away. They carry Lakefront Brewery’s Maple Rootbeer… I stock up every time I come home. Use it to make a rootbeer float and you won’t be disappointed. They are more than an orchard, providing fresh fruits and veggies throughout the season. However, they definitely peak during the apple season with 20+ varietys of apples. This is a great local spot!
