Lodi apples on a tree at Ela 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!
