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!

Lodi apples are still tasting great this week! The Melba apples on our trees were not quite ready for a major picking yet, but they will definitely be ready within the next week.

While our Apple Barn in Rochester is closed until Labor Day when more varieties will be available, you can find us at these markets (and potentially a few more soon) in the coming weeks:

  • Burlington: Thursdays 3-7 PM
  • Madison: DCFM Saturday  6:15 AM to 1:45 PM
  • Shorewood: Sundays 9:30 AM-1 PM

Can't make it to a market? Contact us for alternatives. We're excited for the fall season ahead!
