Watch our orchard grow …
Our vision for Cider Blossom Farm is to preserve and enjoy heirloom and cider apples through sustainable farming.
Door County is beautiful! The county has a long heritage of apples (and cherries, of course), which have an affinity for its unusual geology and soil. We’re glad to grow here!
Our orchard got its start in 2020, but we’ve never been too far from trees.
We’ve planted apples common before Honeycrisp, Gala, and Red Delicious displaced many local varieties. Our favorites include Macoun and Wolf River. One you need to eat now, and the other is terrific in sauce (and saves a lot of time peeling because the apples are so big). But apple cider is making a strong comeback, so we also grow several foundational, and single-variety, cider varieties.
Door County also boasts good soil for lavender, and with all those flowers, we keep bees at our orchard year-round. We are serious about our pollinators’ health. We manage our orchard to keep you, them, and us around to enjoy honey, lavender, and apples.
Thanks for stopping by!
