Went to the orchard on a beautiful fall day and many people had the same idea. Overall, the things…read moreI liked is that they had a large selection of pick your own apples, a hayride to access those apples, one of the better petting zoos ive seen at similar places and a large playground that would do well for kids of all ages. The parts I didnt like is that even though the food selection was quite poor and the wait was even worse. I would definitely eat beforehand. Also I dont know if it was just the year, but even thoygh most of the apples were pretty tasty, some of the apples were mealy, even straight from the tree.

We picked some delicious KinderKrisp apples at Afton which were sweet and crisp but the other…read moreapples we picked were not nearly as flavorful or were mealy. The concessions options were a bit underwhelming and we ended up waiting in line for an hour for a hotdog and walking taco. I did enjoy the hay ride which took us around the orchard to different areas to pick. I also appreciated the wide array of animals in the petting area. The country store had a good variety of treats and we ended up taking home some apple butter and apple cider. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon but I'm not sure if I would return to this particular orchard.

As someone who lives in MN and can't get alcohol at the Aldi stores here, this has become one of my…read morefavorite Aldi locations. Everything else is like standard Aldi stores, but this one has a small alcohol section. I have been to other WI Aldi that have a bit larger selection, but I'm not going to drive 3 hours to Stevens Point; the half hour drive to River Falls is enough. I enjoy the selection of alcohol they have here, prices are reminiscent of Trader Joe's. The Winking Owl brand of wine are similar to 3 Buck Chuck. I don't think any have been more than $3. Kinroo Blue beer also similar to Blue Moon. If you have a little extra time for a quick drive, this is an Aldi to hit up.

There are loads of orchards and pumpkin patches to choose from but you really have to made a pit stop at Fischer's Croix Farm and Orchard. They have a super cute hay bail for kids/adults to climb on but I'll warn you.. you have to be PRETTY agile to get to the top.. There's also some goats and chickens the kiddies can feed along with a tracker ride out to the corn maze! (You can go on the ride without actually going through the maze). There are loads of different apples/pumpkins to pick your own or buy the preselected bags inside the shop! They're all super friendly staff that'll share their love of apples and really help you select the right one :) oh and there's also a food truck in case you get hungry!!

It was easy to find, since they have a lot of signs up which have arrows from the main road. The staff here are very friendly, approachable and kind. It seems to be run by an all women staff woo!! The parking is on the grass or dirt parking. Come as early as you can because it gets crowded pretty darn fast, and loud. The inside building has a lot of items you can purchase, like peanut butter, apple pies, caramel apples, and pre picked apples. They also have samples of each apple in their orchard. My personal favorite was their sweet sixteen apple. They have an outside area, with 1 goat for a petting zoo. They have hay bails for kids to climb, and some open area for them to roam around. They have apple trees spread out everywhere and it's labeled with what kind of apple each tree is. It's a perfect photo spot, they also thought ahead and have a huge family bench near the corn maze where you can take cute pics. The corn maze is challenging but doable for kids and adults. They have an APPLE cutout inside the maze so you can find it, something fun in addition to the maze. There's a wagon that takes you out to the maze or you can just walk there. They have wagon rides at 11 am sharp. The pumpkin patch was sort of a disappointment, because some of them were spoiled and others were fungated? The whole place is perfect for instagram pictures, and fall photo shoots. It's free admission, but the corn maze is $3 per person. The apples and pumpkins are charged based on how much they weigh. It was really affordable. They have new hours apparently so call ahead to confirm. Definitely a family oriented fun outing!

Whistling Well Farm was the perfect spot for a laid-back fall outing! I organized a trip there with…read moresome colleagues, and it ended up being such an easy, low-stakes way to spend time together outside of work. There was plenty of space to roam through the orchard, chat, and enjoy the beautiful scenery without feeling crowded. The apple picking was great--we had no trouble finding plenty of apples--and I also loved that the farm is both dog-friendly and kid-friendly, making it a fun destination for all kinds of groups. They even had live music while we were there, which added to the relaxed, festive atmosphere. Before heading out, we stopped by the little farm store and picked up some local goodies like jams and cider. It's those extra touches that make the experience feel special. The only minor downside was that the pumpkin patch was a little sparse when we visited, but the orchard and overall atmosphere more than made up for it. Whether you're planning a family day, a casual date, or a group outing with friends or coworkers, Whistling Well Farm is definitely worth a visit!

Contrary it's every reason why we enjoyed it. Highlights include: dog friendly, nice parking, friendly staff, proficient store with basic items such as honey, caramel, chocolate covered cherries, plush dog toys, coloring books, apples, etc. Outside you will find a pumpkin patch, goats and even a DJ with a dance floor. If you have kids, this is a great outing for the family. My group walked our dogs around the space, split come apple cider donuts and snapped a few pics by some of the fall decor. Notes: dogs are not allowed in the gift shop and there is a food stand that serves hot dogs, cider, chips and apple cider donuts. We did not see any alcohol onsite.

We have a couple of favorite orchards however after finding Maple Leaf Orchard, we have a new favorite. While we really enjoy a couple of orchards in MN, Maple Leaf Orchard is something special. We had just stopped at our favorite cheese factory just down the road. Instead of driving back into MN to visit one of our favorite orchards, we thought we would look for an orchard on the way home. Maple Leaf Orchard was right on the way. The first thing we noticed is how scenic the area is. Nothing but corn fields and hills around until you find this orchard. They are busy too. Lots of cars parked and people picking apples and a long line for fresh made apple doughnuts. We picked up a bag of apples, some apple cider and of course we tried the doughnuts. A hot fresh apple doughnut is a sweet treat. The apples were fresh and crispy. What makes Maple Leaf Orchard special is their apple cider is the best. I could tell right away after my first sip. The freshness, the flavor. Excellent! Our favorite orchard in MN has apple dandies. Now we have a new orchard for our favorite apple cider. I already finished their apple cider so we are heading back again soon for another round of apple cider. Great family owned orchard and ooh that apple cider is delicious!
