Group Tours
Pre-scheduled school tours are very popular at da orchard. 1000's of children visit Eplegaarden in groups each summer and fall. An organized tour of 1- 1 ¼ hours of presentation and hands on experiences and includes velkommen, background of orchard, and actual experience of plukkin and gradin apples. Minimum of first grade is required. In 2008, this includes a selv plukkin bag, two apples, a hayride, and our Eplegaarden coloring book, in addition to the wonderful, fun educational tour.
Preschool, nursery, daycare, head start groups, etc. have found Eplegaarden to be a fun place for a self organized, self conducted tour or group activity. Groups must register at the store prior to picnicking, receive written requirements, and verbal instructions for apple plukkin and prepay for apples prior to entering the orchard. All garbage must be taken back home with the group. No charge per child except for cost of produce (apples, pumpkins, raspberries) plukked. Note: Consider having each child brings a small bag with their name on it, which can be placed in our larger apple plukkin bags. For pumpkins, leader should bring a marker for putting names on pumpkins. In 2001 we also introduced an Eplegaarden Coloring book for the kids with many pictures of the apple farm.
Keeping children under control is expected of teachers and parents to insure safety and enjoyment of all. We have many picnic tables for your enjoyment. Please bring a trash bag and take any trash back with you generated from snacks, etc.
Travel Tours have found the orchard to be a vonderful stop in the Madison area.
Parties
Birthday parties, church picnics, business picnics, wedding receptions and anniversaries have been held at Eplegaarden. Call or better yet come out to the orchard to find available times, space and prices.
