A well-established Ozaukee County stop on Highway 57 with a detailed month-by-month hours calendar, though only one of its 15 grown varieties — Honeycrisp — is actually named.
Appleland Farm Market sits on Highway 57 north of Milwaukee in Fredonia, and it’s one of the more procedurally well-documented stops in this research batch, at least on hours. The farm publishes a genuine month-by-month calendar rather than a single seasonal announcement, which is useful for planning a specific date but means there’s no one clean sentence to point to for “when does the season start.” Apple-wise, both u-pick and pre-picked options are confirmed, but out of the 15 varieties the farm says it grows, only Honeycrisp is actually named in the content reviewed.
Rather than posting “open September 1 through October 31” the way some orchards do, Appleland’s site lays out hours month by month. For August through October — the heart of apple season — the pattern is Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and Sunday, 10am to 5pm. By November, that shifts to a shorter daily window of 10am to 4pm, a reasonable signal that the farm considers its core season to be winding down by then. Notably, the site’s calendar extends far enough forward that a January line references 2027 — a small tell that this is a standing, rolling schedule maintained year-round rather than a page freshly written for the 2026 season specifically.
The farm’s own site states it grows 15 apple varieties, but the pages reviewed for this record named only Honeycrisp specifically. That’s a meaningful gap if a particular apple matters to your trip — there’s no way to confirm from this record whether McIntosh, Cortland, or anything else is actually part of the lineup, even though the farm almost certainly grows a broader mix than just Honeycrisp. Treat “15 varieties” as the farm’s own claim and Honeycrisp as the one variety this research can actually stand behind.
The record confirms both u-pick and pre-picked apples are available, giving visitors a choice depending on how much time or energy they want to spend in the orchard rows. Beyond the fruit, a corn maze and an old-fashioned play area round out the family offering — the play area in particular is a nice touch for households with kids too young to want to spend an hour picking apples. Cider donuts are also confirmed, a dependable treat after a stop at either attraction.
Beyond the incomplete variety list, this record doesn’t include pricing — no admission fee, no per-pound or per-bag rate for apples — and no confirmation of a cider mill pressing fresh cider on site (only the donuts are confirmed). There’s also no explicit statement of a 2026 season start or end date beyond the month-by-month hours calendar described above.
Appleland Farm Market is at 4177 Highway 57 in Fredonia, Ozaukee County, part of the Milwaukee-area orchard cluster in this research batch. The lat/lng on file reflects Fredonia’s city center rather than a geocoded street address, so use the posted address to navigate.
Appleland is a dependable, well-scheduled stop with both picking options and solid family add-ons, but the variety documentation here is thin — just one of a claimed 15 apples is actually named. If a specific variety is the point of your trip, call ahead (262-692-2560) rather than assuming it’s on the trees.
No single season-dates statement is posted; instead the farm publishes a rolling month-by-month hours calendar. August through October hours are Mon-Sat 9am-5pm and Sun 10am-5pm, shifting to daily 10am-4pm in November — a fair proxy for when the farm considers itself in full fall swing.
