The 2026 apple harvest begins with a very small first picking of Lodi apples!

While the Apple Barn in Rochester is closed until Labor Day when more varieties will be available, we will start attending a number of farmers markets in the coming weeks as the apple supply allows. Check back here and our Markets page for updates.

For this weekend (Saturday, July 25th), we hope to bring just a few boxes of Lodis to the Dane County Farmers Market in Madison. Next week we will hope a larger amount of apples will be ready for harvest and that we can start a number of other markets. 

Closed for Regular Hours Until Fall 2026

A smaller-than-usual crop this year means that sales at the Apple Barn in Rochester have concluded as of Wednesday, November 25. We are so grateful for everyone's support this season, and we will hope to see you next year!
