We are currently closed for the 2024 apple season. However, we have lots going on in the off-season. Visit our Facebook page by clicking the button below to see what we are up to!

Yes! We have several U-Pick varieties available for you and your family to pick throughout the season. Not all apples are U-Pick and the available types change as new varieties ripen or rows become picked over. Please check our Facebook for the most up to date information on what is currently available!

We grow 32 different varieties of apples! They are not always all available as they ripen at different times in the season. Check out our Apple Varieties page here to learn more about each type!

We sell our apples in sizes of ~5lbs ( ½ Peck) and ~10lbs (1 Peck). Larger or smaller sizes are/ available for U-Pick for varieties. Prices vary depending on the variety and their availability in our orchard. You only pay for what you pick!

NO! We welcome all to come to our orchard to enjoy all we offer! Wristbands are available for purchase for children and families who want to play in the playground or take a wagon ride through the orchard!

We do! During harvest season, we have a children’s playground with a petting zoo as well as an adult playground at the cider bar! Stop in to enjoy local hard ciders on tap, our fresh pressed apple cider, or some homemade pizza.

Playground wristbands cost $6 and include the playground, petting zoo, and wagon rides. Super Mega Slide wristbands cost $10 and include the slide in addition to the playground, petting zoo, and wagon rides.

We ask that you leave your furry and/or feathered ones at home or in the car while enjoying the orchard. Service dogs are permitted at the orchard to assist visitors with a disability. As we are growing food, service dogs may not “do their business” in the orchard area. All business must be cleaned up by the handler.

Besides the tasty apples, our store and cider bar are stocked with drinks and snack options for you and your family. Follow your nose to the store and check out our warm bakery options or grab a gallon of our fresh pressed cider! While the kids play, head to the cider bar and try a flight of local hard ciders on tap and order a pizza for lunch!

We press fresh cider weekly using ONLY APPLES! Try the cider throughout the season to see how new varieties change the color and flavor of the cider. Our cider can be kept in the fridge for about a week or frozen for up to a year! Our cider is not pasteurized so while we maintain strict cleanliness standards, caution is advised for individuals with weakened immune systems.

We maintain wide paths throughout the orchard, so visitors who use wheelchairs are able to adventure, though rainy weather can make travel difficult. Our store building and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible as well.

Yes! We host a variety of private events in our venue space. Please visit our Private Events page to learn more!

Our orchard is open rain or shine! Duck under the covered porch or head into the store to stay dry. However, the children’s playground may close in the event of lightning in the area.

We accept cash, checks, and all major cards. Card transactions are subject to a 3.99% service fee.

Of course! Call us at (715) 370-4083 to reserve your favorite bakery treats for anytime the orchard is open.

No. Due to our food safety guidelines as well as our liquor license, all food and drinks must be from our facilities. We have a variety of beverage options, fresh pizza, ice cream, and bakery sweets available!

While many apples look red and ripe, each row of trees will ripen at different times. We ask that you only pick apples in the designated rows. There will be signage telling you what rows are open for picking once you get to the orchard.

The white “dust” on the outside of the apple is called the bloom of an apple. The outer cells of the apple will produce this powdery wax to protect the fruit from the sun and water loss. It can be easily buffed off on your shirt to produce a nice shine on your apples!

Families are welcome to take photos while at the orchard but we ask that any photographer who would like to use our space contacts us for permission prior to using it. All couples who book their wedding at Rock Ridge Orchard are welcome to take engagement photos in the orchard, just contact us so we know when to expect you!

The white netting that covers up our growing trees is meant to protect our trees from hail! Many orchardists can lose an entire harvest to a single hail storm. This way our apples stay on the trees throughout the growing season and are ready to be picked for you in fall!

We keep our trees covered until the fruit is ripe for harvest, so please don't pick underneath!
