Welcome to Ferguson Orchards in Galesville, Wisconsin, where family fun and seasonal joy come together in perfect harmony!
As we turned the corner into the parking lot, we almost simultaneously thought, “Wow, this is really beautiful!”.
The orchard is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with rows of neatly planted apple trees and classic red barn buildings scattered below. This is the perfect and lovely farm you imagined!
The setting is beautiful but what kept us here was the variety of fun activities. We spent almost the entire day exploring the orchard and all the family friendly activities on site.
From apple and pumpkin picking to fun agricultural attractions, there's something fun for every family member.
We spent hours jumping on the pumpkin jump, running through the corn maze, and cooling off with apple cider smoothies. This beautiful orchard guarantees a day full of fun and memorable moments.
