Orchards are a big part of what makes Door County a classic, picturesque haven. From the sweep of cherry blossoms in the spring to the last delicious Honeycrisp apple in the fall, Door County’s rural heritage never fails to shine through. Area orchards become a bustling epicenter of activity at harvest time as cherries and apples are plucked from their trees and delivered fresh to farm markets, or transformed into delicious homemade jams and baked goods. Stop in and sample to your heart’s content, and don’t forget to take a taste of Door County back home to share with friends and family. - Dina Boettcher Cherry (mid-summer season) and apple picking (early fall season) have become a tradition for many Door County visitors.
