The orchards at Ferguson’s date back to the 1870’s. Apple trees were initially planted and have been growing strong ever since. The Ferguson family took over the original Galesville Orchard and has been growing apples and providing family fun since 2001. In their continued growth, they purchased Eau Claire orchard in 2011 and then added another orchard in Chippewa Falls just four years later.

Ferguson’s Orchard in Galesville, Wisconsin provides excellent fun in the fall for families. Enjoy fun with your family while wandering through the vast orchard, and picking the perfect pumpkins for yourself. A tradition many families come back for year after year is wading through the massive pick-your-own pumpkin orchard, looking for that one pumpkin that is perfectly round and just the right size.

Your little ones will find hours of fun in Farmer Tom’s Barnyard. They offer a wagon ride through their beautiful property, where you can enjoy the incredible views and learn some history of the farms, apples, and pumpkins that grow. They also have a giant spinning apple for you and your littles to take an exciting ride on! Get a little competition in with their pedal tractor race track. All ages are allowed to race around the track on their pedal tractor. Kids love to run around and climb on the hay pyramids and then visit the farm animals! If that wasn’t enough fun for the family, making it through the corn maze is another family favorite. They offer an on-site country store where you can get the best pastries, local jams, syrups, unique gifts and delicious caramel apples. There is an admission fee for Farmer Tom’s Barnyard and Apple Orchard, but the country store, pumpkin patch and picnic area is free!

Their orchard in Eau Claire, Wisconsin offers much of the same fall family fun as does Galesville. Grab your special pumpkin while strolling through their large orchard. Their kid-friendly entertainment at Apple Blossom Park also includes wagon rides, a giant spinning apple, pedal tractor racing, hay pyramid climbing, farm animals and a corn maze where you hopefully won’t get lost. The orchard in Eau Claire also features a country store with wonderful pastries, local jams, syrups, gifts and caramel apples. They were voted as the number one fall family activity by Chippewa Valley Family Magazine!

Field trips are fun, memorable and educational at Ferguson’s Orchards. They offer a 60-minute tour for Mom’s groups, preschools, elementary schools, church groups and others. These apple-themed tours give an age-appropriate and exciting talk about apples and/or pumpkins. They will teach your littles how apples and/or pumpkins grow, how to pick their own and will be able to take one home to eat!
