This was our first visit to Baker Orchard. One of our favorite activities in the Fall is to visit the apple orchards. Let me tell you about Baker Orchard. Baker is location in Centuria, WI. The last census for Centuria listed a population of 948. The day we visited, I bet most of the town was there!
Baker Orchard is set up a little different than any orchard that we have visited. There are a couple of small parking areas on their land which is very scenic and surrounded by trees. Then across the street there is a large field that holds much more parking. This is where we parked. You then take a short walk from the field, across the street and down a path to where all the fun is. Its kind of enchanting especially on cool crisp Fall day. The day that we attended they were also hosting an art festival. There were additional venders with food and items. The first we noticed was a small sitting area around a fire pit. I love the smell of a wood fire outside. The only thing that would have made that better is if I had some hotdogs and stick!
One thing we really liked about Baker is how open the Orchard is. Other orchards we have visited, everything is inside a building. At Baker the apples, cider and some food was set up on the porch. The lady that helped us was very friendly and allowed us to sample several apples including one special to their orchard. We picked up plenty of goodies. One tip for visitors. Bring a bag to help carry your goods. It helps when you find more than you can carry with your own hands. There are tours available, pick your own apples, hiking trails and more. One of the more beautiful and scenic orchards that we have visited. read more
