Seaquist Orchards

Our take

The short version

Seaquist Orchards, two miles north of Sister Bay, is one of the largest fruit-growing operations in Door County by acreage — 1,200 acres of cherries and 40 acres of apples. The farm’s own site gives clean, explicit 2026 market dates: open May 7 through October 31. What this record couldn’t pin down is whether that 40 acres of apples is actually open for visitors to pick themselves, or whether apples are sold only through the farm market. That’s a real gap worth naming rather than guessing past.

A cherry operation first, an apple grower second

The scale here is genuinely large — 1,200 acres of cherries dwarfs the 40 acres of apples, and Seaquist’s regional reputation leans heavily on cherries rather than apples specifically. That doesn’t mean the apples aren’t worth a visit, but it does mean anyone coming specifically for an apple-picking day should treat Seaquist as one option among several Door County stops rather than assuming it’s built primarily around apple u-pick the way some smaller, apple-focused farms are.

Confirmed dates, unconfirmed u-pick status

The farm’s own site states, in explicit 2026 language, “Opening Day: May 7, 2026” and “Closing Day: October 31, 2026” — a genuinely clean, dated statement that’s more definitive than many of the vaguer season windows found elsewhere in this research batch. But that’s the overall farm market season, covering a period that starts well before apples would typically be ready. Whether the 40 acres of apples specifically are offered as pick-your-own, or sold exclusively through the market building, wasn’t answered by the homepage content reviewed here — it would take a look at the site’s dedicated Pick Your Own or Bakery pages, which weren’t part of the fetched content for this record. A direct call to 920-854-4199 is the fastest way to settle that question before a trip.

An unusual weekly schedule

Hours run 9am to 5pm, Monday through Saturday, with the farm closed on Sundays — except for two specific exceptions: Memorial Day and Labor Day, when it stays open despite the regular Sunday closure. That’s a specific, checkable detail worth building a trip around if a Sunday visit is otherwise off the table for you.

What isn’t in this record

No apple varieties are named, no pricing information is included, and — as covered above — the pick-your-own status of the apple acreage specifically isn’t confirmed. This record also doesn’t note a cider mill or cider donuts one way or the other.

Getting there

Seaquist Orchards is at 11482 Highway 42, two miles north of Sister Bay in Door County. The lat/lng on file reflects Sister Bay’s city center rather than a geocoded street address, so navigate by the posted address. As one of the region’s larger growers, it’s a reasonable stop on a broader Door County tour, particularly if cherries are part of your interest alongside apples.

Bottom line

Seaquist Orchards offers clear, confirmed 2026 market dates and real scale as one of Door County’s largest fruit growers, but this record couldn’t confirm whether its 40 acres of apples are pick-your-own or market-only. If picking apples yourself is the point of the visit, confirm that specifically by phone before making Seaquist the centerpiece of your trip.
