Weston's Antique Apples — Local services in New Berlin

If you've never been to the Weston orchard, waste no more time! Get there! Run by the same family for nearly a hundred years, the apple varieties here are exceptional, antique varieties that you won't find in your grocery store. The flavors are incredible! The experience going to the farm itself, is also wonderful. They sell from the beautiful old barn, which looks down over the hillside apple orchard. They also grow pears, cherries, make cider, And have workshops on tree grafting, among other things! A couple times a year there is an event at the small historic site across the street, which also makes visiting the orchard a fun afternoon experience, cuz you can tour the group of historic buildings there during those events, by the New Berlin historic society. If you can't make it to the farm, they sell their fruit at the West Allis and Madison Farmers markets. My family and I have been going there for years, and I now drive over an hour to get there! Cannot recommend...

The fruit is in crates inside of their barn, and you choose what and how much you'd like. It's weighed, as most is sold by the pound (with the exception of plums and peaches). If you like fresh fruit, you need to go...

Westons is great. I’ve been going there for apples for the last 5 years or so and they’re always friendly. They’re the only place around that has these varieties of apples that I know of. I’ve taken a couple classes with them as well and they are very knowledgeable with IPM practices to reduce the amount of chemicals they use. For their grafting class they bring in an expert of grafting and all things apples, Dan B, to teach. I will continue coming here to purchase apples (even though I now grow my own thanks to everyone...
