Welcome to Ferguson’s Orchards in Galesville, Wisconsin, where family fun and seasonal joy come together in perfect harmony!
As soon as we rounded the turn and headed into the parking area, we both had almost the same thought come out of our mouths, “Wow, it is really pretty back here!”.
The orchard is surrounded by hills on three sides with rows and rows neatly planted apple trees. Classic red barn buildings are sprinkled below, and it’s everything you picture when you think of a picture-perfect cute farm!
The setting was beautiful, but what kept us here was all the fun stuff to do. We literally spent the entire day exploring the orchard and all the family-friendly activities on site.
From picking apples and pumpkins to fun agricultural attractions, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
We spent hours bouncing on the pumpkin jumping pad, navigating the corn maze, and cooled off with an apple cider slushie. This beautiful orchard promises a day full of fun and memorable moments.
