Five Generations of Apple Orchard Experience
Ecker's Apple Farm has been a family-owned orchard seated on The Great River Road near Trempealeau, Wisconsin since 1945. When Peter married Mary back in 1977, they began planting apple trees en masse to create the commercial orchard you see today. Since Pete died in 2009, Ecker’s has been an all-female-run farm, Simon lends a hand here and there…

Home to Hog's Back Brew Farm, Ecker's is now a must-stop craft beer destination open on weekends July through October. There is no admission cost; come walk our orchard rows and take in the fall colors with family and friends. Our Orchard Market is open each fall, brimming with specialty foods,

The orchard is our labor of love, please be part of it with us.
