Apples In Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a great apple producing state.The major apple growing areas are the Coulee county around Gays Mills, the Bayfield area and west central Wisconsin. Of the 100 varieties grown in Wisconsin, national favorites are the Jonathan, Golden Delicious and McIntosh. The McIntosh is an excellent apple for making applesauce because of its juicy pulp and rich tart taste.

In southwestern Wisconsin, along the Mississippi River, are steep-sided valleys with winding streams and rivers. These valleys, known as coulees, were untouched by the glaciers. Coulee Country is known for its apples and cheese, as well as its rugged beauty. The Annual Apple Festival held in Bayfield each  October just might be the last chance to get out of the cities and enjoy the kaleidoscope of colors and flavors.
