Cider and donuts are so so good I haven't tried the hard cider yet but I am sure they won't disappoint. The variety of apples are really good too, a no frills orchard carrying exactly what I wanted and came for read more

Brightonwoods Orchard - Donut stand - Farmers Market Near Me - Burlington, Wisconsin

Beautiful place to visit right after Aeppeltreaw Winery. There are loads of samples from cheese, apples, cider and jam. In season, they sell apple trees and pumpkins. The staff is courteous and very helpful. I purchased a mix to make pumpkin ginger bread. There were also other mixes to choose from. The cheese spreads were very tasty. They had an apple cheese spread that I would have purchased, but I thought that $15 for a small container was a bit much. The apple tree were only $22. I thought that was a bargain... I can't wait to get home to make the pumpkin bread! Next time I visit, hopefully it will be on a sunny day so that we can walk around the orchard. read more

I go to Brightonwoods for quinces. I do not know anywhere else to get them. They have several varieties of quinces. I use quinces to make quince jelly. I make some every year. Quince jelly is easy to make, just like making apple jelly. Quince jelly is like no other, with a sublime perfume. I plan to go to Brightonwoods this week for some quinces. I plan to make good jelly and enjoy it throughout the year. Quince jelly cannot be found in grocery stores, but can be bought online. (The French brand, Bonne Mamman is the best, after homemade.) read more

We just absolutely loved this place! And the apples are so fresh and delicious! You do not pick your own apples, but there is a huge selection in the barn to choose from. As well as pears, honey, spreadable cheese, apple cider, etc. As we were checking out we discovered they sell organic grass fed beef from a different farm, so we grabbed some of that as well! In addition to purchasing way too many apples, we wandered around the orchard looking at all the different apple trees and discovered a trail through a wooded area. Very fun! Wear boots - especially if it's been raining - and bug spray wouldn't hurt either! Lots of mosquitoes! Our daughter was beyond impressed with the 2 story tree house they have - she would have spent the whole time there if we let her. It was super cute!! There is a winery/distillery on site which added some fun for us! They do tours and wine tasting. We definitely left with a few bottles! All is all it was a great visit! We are so happy we stumbled upon this place - go check it out for yourself! read more

I visit Brightonwoods at least once in the late summer or early fall apple harvest season. There is something serene and pastoral about visiting here; I feel that it is certainly worth your effort to stop by and sample the apples and the many other products available for sale. Pictures tell more than a thousand words so for the full story, check the ones that I added from a recent visit. read more

Beautiful Orchard, Beautiful drive. The Apples are delicious . The staff are very knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. They have amazing cheese and pies. AeppelTreow Winery/Distillery is on the premises that have wonderful wine and spirits. You get to taste them too! Bong Recreation is a minute away. The orchard even has trails to check out. Great Day trip to the orchard! Definitely recommend read more

What a gem! I bought my Thanksgiving apple pie apples here this year and they made the BEST apple pie we've ever had! Try out the winery too - you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

My sister used to live about a mile away from this orchard. It's a fun orchard with a winery on site. They sell delicious apples. I love that they are pre picked. They sell cheese made with their apples in it. They support other local farmers as well. The wines are delicious and are also made from the apples and pears in their orchard. The owners are so friendly and are happy to teach all about their growing. Great place to stop by if you are looking for fresh, delicious and a large variety of apples. read more

Very disappointed. I drove here with the intent of buying a few gallons of apple cider. The farm is very clean and they had lots of varieties of apples. The problem came when I went to the checkout and asked for 5 gallons of fresh cider. I had checked out their cooler and it was fully stocked so I didn't think this would be a problem but when the lacy at the register rolled her eyes at me for the request I knew things weren't going well. She asked me to take frozen instead, at the same price because "That all we have". Since there had to be about 60 gallons fresh I didn't see why she wanted me to accept frozen for the same price as fresh and she wouldn't tell me more. I left without a purchase and won't go back. read more

The orchard grow over 130 types of apples. The orchard store is great for apple shopping. Not that there were 130 varieties being sold, but they did have many varieties I have never heard of. Also, they have the best apple cider I have every had. It is sweet ambrosia, nectar of the Gods! Also, there is a winery onsite. read more

Every fall, plan on taking a few trips here with my mom. It's kind of a special thing we like to do, since my parents live a few miles away. This apple orchard is awesome. Depending on when you go, they always have a fantastic selection of different apples (and pears!) available. The apples are reasonably priced (I have never found them to be overpriced at all), the staff is friendly and beyond helpful, and like any apple orchard worth their salt, you can get some free cider samples. They also sell apple jams, jellies, and pottery done by local artists. The kids always have a fun time, too - there's a huge treehouse they can play in. (Seriously, the treehouse is two stories. If grown ups were allowed, if consider going up there too.) Speaking if grow ups, check out the winery next door. They offer tours and samples! All in all, Brightonwoods is a fantastic way to spend a beautiful fall day, and support a local orchard while doing so. read more

My friend and I drove to Brightonwoods Orchard after we attempted to go to Apple Holler (about 15 minutes away), and were so disgusted by the outrageous apple-picking prices, we went searching for somewhere else. Brightonwoods Orchard is located on a gorgeous property with lots of trees. They have tons of different varieties of apples, which you can sample as you're shopping. The apples were delicious! Most were priced at $1.75/pound, with a few at $2.00/pound and Honeycrisps at $2.50/pound. They also sell cider (delicious, too, and apparently prize-winning, according to the sign in the apple barn). Oh yes, and did I mention they take credit cards? Even better, there is a winery called AeppelTreow Winery located on the same property. We were able to sample 5 different offerings for free (although you should bring cash to tip the kind folks serving). This place is great, and worth the trip! read more

The store at Brightonwoods Orchard had the most varieties of apples that I've seen compared to other orchards. There were some that I've never heard of, and they allow you to try any of them! Prices for most varieties was $1.75/lbs. They take credit cards as well. There's a winery on the property with a free tasting of five wines or hard ciders. read more

Brightonwoods is a great SE WI orchard. In the era of vanishing family-based agriculture it's great to have a place like this not so far. Their selection of antique varieties is unrivaled. That said, be prepared to buck up. Apples are very expensive here, as is the case with most orchards within reach of Chicago & Milwaukee. Now 2012 is an atypical year due to the spring heat wave and April freeze, but even last yr their crop was expensive. In fairness all the other SE WI orchards are the same, and some commercialized ad nauseum, and since Brightonwoods still has that old world feel it's one of the best in my book. We will continue to come here, but next yr we go back to our favorite orchard in SW MI where apples are 1/3 the price they are in SE WI. Central WI has great orchards too, Lapacek's in Poynette is another great one but inconvenient since we don't travel that way much any more. FYI as of Sat 9/22/12, honeycrisps were gone for the yr. They didn't even have a honeycrisp crop; they had to buy some crates from an orchard west of Madison to have any available for purchase, and limited their customers to 20 lbs each per visit. @ $3 lb for small honeycrisps, it's a wonder there was much of a mkt for them at all. read more

Great variety of Apples and Pears. They have a nice wine selection that is made from their harvest. A gem in the country where they make you feel at home. read more

Just left there. Great selection of apples although I guess that there is a shortage in the Midwest this year due to frost issues this past spring. Really a pleasant visit and loved the fresh cider and brought home about 5 of the many varieties available and gourds. read more

Sooo many varieties of apples - amazing. You can sample them before you buy. Nice description cards for each variety. Reasonable pricing. And, not insanely packed with tourists. The day we were there a farmer was selling his squash and veggies also. I would come back. They are good apples! read more

They do accept credit and debit cards!! YAY!!! Once again, the best apples I've ever tasted! We travel about a 100 miles to get them, and it's worth every mile! read more

An amazing experience! The apples--both new varieties and the old classics that you may not find anywhere else--are lovingly grown, picked, cooled, displayed. The owners have, it seems, unlimited knowledge of apples, so all your questions are answered. The cider is pressed right at the orchard, and it is the best. Although the apples are the main attraction, the tree house for young visitors will never be forgotten. And there's a winery that will pour samples. The liquors--both the pear and the apple--are wonderful. The champagne is crisp and pleasing--especially with cheeses. During the selling season, special events are held here, so check their website. But the best part of the visit is choosing apples, tasting cider and wine, and strolling around the beautiful grounds. Pumpkins, gourds, squashes, and other farm-grown veggies are available in season. Enjoy. This is a one-of-a-kind place. read more
