Looking for a way to spend some time outdoors and satisfy your craving for something deliciously sweet? Then you should consider paying a visit to Oakwood Fruit Farm. The charming farm features nearly 200 acres of orchards, apple trees, and vineyards, but that’s not all. There’s also a bakery, store, and packing facility, which you can tour. Take a look:
Nestled in the hills of beautiful Southwest Wisconsin, Oakwood Fruit Farm has been in the business of fruit for more than 100 years.
Farm visitors can explore the grounds or, for an extra sweet treat, can opt to pick their own grapes. Keep in mind, the apples are not available as u-pick.
Of course, you can always purchase already-picked apples - among other things - from the retail shop and bakery, which is located in the heart of the orchard.
The merchandise doesn’t end with apples, though. The shop also carries jams, jellies, maple syrup, honey, unique gifts, hand-woven baskets, and arts and crafts.
Offering more than shopping, the retail store also features an observation window, so you can get a behind the scenes look at the farm’s packing process.
Oakwood Fruit Farm is open August 18th – October 31st from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and November 1st – 30th from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. The farm is also open in December “until the apples are sold out.” For more information, call (608) 585-2701. You can also visit the Oakwood Fruit Farm website or Facebook page.
Address: 31128 Apple Ridge Road, Richland Center, WI, 53581
