About Us:
Redmond's Apple Basket Orchard is a family owned and operated orchard. Located on a hillside off of Hwy 44 just north of Ripon, WI. Our location is ideal for producing high quality fruit. Established in 2006, we acquired an existing Apple Orchard.
​
Each year we continue to plant new varieties as some heirloom favorites, expanding the orchard to approximately 5 acres. Our trees are dwarf and semi dwarf rootstocks allowing us to cultivate them easily.
​
Currently, we are home to 30+ different apple cultivars. You can find us selling our apples locally at Farmers Markets or stop in at our retail store located at the orchard.
​
At our retail store, you will find fresh picked apples and pears, freshly pressed cider, locally produced honey and maple syrup, and unique seasonal gifts.

Our Retail Location
Redmond's Apple Basket Orchard is a seasonal business open late August-November. Our longtime dream of selling directly from our orchard became reality when we opened our retail store fall of 2017. Here, we are able to showcase how and where our apples are being produced.
We invite you to visit our retail store located adjacent to our shed, overlooking the orchard. Inside you will be greeted by the smell of fresh apples and warm apple cider. Many of our family treasures, such as Grandma's dining table and a childhood church window, have been incorporated into the decor, adding charm and interest. We offer freshly picked fruit, apple cider, locally produced honey and maple syrup, and seasonal handmade and vintage gifts.
