Fall colors and driveway to the orchard.


Ela Orchard is located in Rochester, Wisconsin. We grow many varieties of apples and pears, and we press fresh apple cider.

We sell apples and cider at our apple barn during the fall season and into the winter. We do not offer pick-your-own apples, but you can sample the varieties available and our goats would love to eat any leftover cores!

Hours and Varieties

As a result of a smaller than usual crop this year, the selection of apples available at this time is greatly reduced from a normal year, but for now there are still plenty of good choices for everyone. We may run out of some of the remaining varieties more quickly than others in the next few weeks, and we plan to close for the season on Wednesday, November 26th. 

The Apple Barn is open every day from noon until 5 p.m. The following varieties may be available depending on supply:

  • Apples
    • Golden Russet
    • Granny Smith
    • Ida Red
    • Lemon Lightning
    • Red Delicious
    • Rome Beauty
    • Winesap
    • PLUS, two new varieties to try from a neighboring orchard to help provide more selection as our apples run out
      • Sweet Zinger
      • Ludacrisp
  • Pears
    • Bosc
  • Cider
    • See the Cider page for the most up-to-date information
    • This week's pressing occurred on Wednesday, November 5 and consists mainly of Ida Red, and a small amount of Winesap, Rome, Bosc Pear, and smaller amounts of a few other varieties. You can find gallons, half gallons, and pints of cider at many of our markets and at the Apple Barn while supplies last.
