There was a time when all you could find at an apple orchard were apples. But today, in the picturesque rolling hills of Trempealeau County, you’ll find a little apple farm that offers fresh fall apples and so much more. Ecker’s Apple Farm is one of Wisconsin’s best apple orchards for fall fun. It has live music, a beer garden, food trucks, and lots of delicious apples. Grab your friends and head to Ecker’s: here’s what’s waiting for you.
On nice fall days, you’ll find a big crowd at Ecker’s. The orchard is in a rural area a few miles from the Village of Trempealeau. You’ll know you’re in the right spot when you see a stream of cars pulling off Highway 54.
But the farm does more than grow fruit - it brings people together. It hosts special events like weddings, and on fall days, the public is welcome to the farm to celebrate the season.
And of course there are apples – head inside the farm store and pick up a caramel apple, or a fresh bag of apples to bring home. If you would rather pick your own and enjoy the freshest apple you’ve ever tasted, that can be arranged!
