Apple Barn Orchard & Winery
|
|
Apple Barn Orchard and Winery features an open orchard and a farm where you can pick your own strawberries, apples, and pumpkins when they are in season. They grow and sell 12 popular varieties of apples such as Honey Crisp and Cortland. The Apple Barn also makes all of their own apple cider and fresh cider donuts.
The farm is situated on land that has been in the Jacobson family since 1848. The operation is owned by Steve and Judy Jacobson. The orchard consists of approximately 40 acres being planted since 1976.
The strawberry season begins in mid-June until mid-July.
The winery is a new addition that specializes in a variety of fruit wines. All of the wines are made in small batches to ensure richness and quality. The winery offers delicious fruit wines such as apple, blackberry, and mulberry. Colorful variations include pear, cranberry and blueberry. Red varieties, so perfect for the holidays and gift giving include cherry, rhubarb and strawberry. Each flavor is created with the savory taste of homegrown fruits. The winery also offers wine tasting at scheduled times. Select a bottle for yourself, or share one with friends and family.

The website advertises free tractor rides.
The website boasts that it is open Tuesday-Sunday.
Who would have thought you couldn't get that FREE tractor ride unless you came on the weekend?
Needless to say I am overly disappointed. I had taken the day off for my son's 3rd birthday who loves trains and tractors to drive 60 miles from Milwaukee to Elkorn- only to have to tell my little birthday boy that they only give tractor rides to school groups. So as we tried to pick our bag of apples (we drove all of the way there?) the tractor kept coming by with school groups. He was so sad.
I tried to explain this to the manager or owner and all she had to say is why did I call to ask if the tractor would have been running- like it was my fault!? I said that when I came home I looked all over their website to see if there was anything and no- nothing to say it wouldn't run during the week. Why would I even think of asking? You advertise tractor rides- I expect a tractor ride. You advertise apples and pumpkins- should I have asked if you had any of those?
I am just a simple person with a disappointed 3 year old birthday boy.
Shame on you for ruining his birthday- and blaming it on me!
