🍎Why Gays Mills is a Great Place to Grow Apples🍎
Sunrise Orchards sits among the hills of southwestern Wisconsin’s Driftless Area, where elevation and terrain create excellent conditions for apple growing. Our hillside orchards receive plenty of sunlight, while the slopes allow cold air to drain away rather than settling around the trees—helping reduce the risk of spring frost.
The hillsides also provide good natural drainage and air circulation, keeping the soil from becoming overly wet and allowing the trees and fruit to dry more quickly after rain. Warm summer days followed by cool nights help apples develop good color, sugars, flavor and firmness.
These unique conditions make the Gays Mills area an exceptional place to grow high-quality apples. Come visit Sunrise Orchards and experience the beautiful Driftless Area for yourself—enjoy the views, visit our orchard, and taste the difference that this special place can make in an apple. 🍎🌄
