Located high above the scenic Kickapoo Valley, Sunrise Orchards offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Driftless region. Spanning 225 acres, our orchards produce up to 175,000 bushels of apples each year—a true reflection of the dedication and passion of four generations of our family.
Sunrise Orchards acquired Hillcrest Orchard in 2024, and it is now proudly known as Sunrise Orchards at Hillcrest. Just five miles east of our main location, at the intersection of US Hwy 61 and State Hwy 171, Sunrise Orchards at Hillcrest offers a smaller, convenient market - perfect for an in-and-out visit. Stop by to enjoy fresh apples and seasonal favorites, all with the same Sunrise Orchards quality you know and love.
During our harvest and apple-packing season, we’re proud to welcome over 130 hardworking team members, ensuring every apple reaches you at peak freshness. Our apples and cider are also available in stores across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. We invite you to experience the full bounty of Sunrise Orchards by visiting our retail store, conveniently located just above Gays Mills, Wisconsin.
While we don’t offer pick-your-own apples, Sunrise Orchards is a hub of fun and activity! 🍎 From our Fun Things to Do page to the many seasonal experiences waiting for you, there are countless reasons to visit. Best of all, there’s never an admission fee to enter or enjoy our events. Whether you’re savoring the flavors of fall or making memories with loved ones, Sunrise Orchards is where traditions blossom.
