Bittersweet Blessings Farm is a community-oriented farm offering a wide range of events and activities that are perfect for families. You can also explore our orchards and markets where you can find everything, from fresh fruits to collectibles.
About Our Orchard
Bittersweet Blessings Farm is home to an heirloom apple orchard. Established nearly 90 years ago, the fruits from these trees are firmer, juicier, and tastier than those in most grocery stores.
Still talked about as a local fall destination when the apples, pears, cherries, grapes, and plums ripen, the farm has a long history of providing fresh fruit to shoppers in southern WI.
