Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from our entire family!

Just like that, the 2018 apple season has come to an end.  Thank you to all who have come out and supported our farm and family.  It’s because of all of you we can continue to keep living this dream of ours.  We couldn’t be more thankful for that.

If you have any memories from the 2018 apple season or favorite things we did (*clears throat* “Cider After Dark”)  feel free to leave a comment!  We’d love to hear from you! I know we all enjoyed the season and have plans already to make next season even more magical!

Keep an eye on this blog, facebook, the newsletter, instagram, etc if we have any fun things happening “off season”.  I’m not sure if we will or not yet but you just never know what I’ll dream up next!

Hi everyone!  Just popping in to remind you that the 2018 apple season will start in less than one month!  We are planning on opening on August 15th from 9-5.  I’ll keep you updated on what varieties of apples we’ll have but my best guess is Paulared, Zestar!, Scarlet and Chenango Strawberry.  But – time (and the apples – they have to be ready!) will tell!

We’ll also have caramel apples for sure on opening day so if you’ve been craving them you don’t have to wait too much longer!

Keep an eye on the Lapacek’s Orchard instagram feed to see all the fun new things we’re getting ready for you this season!

Not only do the months fly by between apple seasons but the years fly by in our family too!

This shot was taken at the end of October in 2011 by Cory Schuren of Friends in Photography.  As I was preparing for this apple season I saw this picture and realized we probably needed an update shot since Pip is now four instead of 5 months! 

We had to change the pose up a little bit … but we got our updated shot!    Cory no longer lives in Wisconsin but luckily she was in town visiting and had a few minutes to squeeze us in for a up to date photo by the sign. 

I can’t believe how much the girls have grown!

Also … here’s a sneak peek at some new play equipment at the orchard this season.  We buried a boat in the backyard by the tire playground.  We’ve almost finished child proofing it for everyone to play on.  My girls have been enjoying it all summer!
