Van Lin Orchards

“Van Lin's is a terrific orchard and fun place to take the family. Early in the apple season I love the First Kiss and other apples they have but in late season you cannot beat the Evercrisp. Everscrip are tasty, sweet apples that last forever in the fridge and Van Lin's will have them ready to go. The addition of cider, donuts, cookies and other edibles for sale/consumption along with creative wood carving's, candles, clever cutting boars and many other crafts makes this a must top and see on Tschumper Road in LaCrescent ... just a short 20 minute hop from LaCrosse. Kiddos can have fun shooting baskets, playing cornhole or enjoying a corn maze. Enjoy your visit there and tell Rick the owner that Gary sent you there. :)”

“If you’ve seen a previous review of mine I commented about how I was illegally denied access with my service dog and was treated very disrespectfully by an employee there but I would like to give an update on that and change my rating of Van Lins. I got in contact with the owner Rick, and he was very nice, understanding and apologized for what happened. He educated the employee that I dealt with that what she did wasn’t okay and he invited my service dog and I back to the orchard and we will be going next week. The issue was resolved and I’m very happy to have been able to discuss this with him and have the situation resolved.”

“Wonderful Apple picking. Much less crowded than orchards nearer the Twin Cities, many of which don’t let you pick your own. Packaged 1sts and 2nds also available with great quality at a reasonable price, for those not up to picking their own. The free corn maze was a fun activity for our boys. Enjoyable talking to the owner. One of our favorite orchards.”

“Best apples I've ever eaten! Van Lin Orchards is truly a gem of a place, beautifully situated higher up on the bluffs with a commanding view of the green rolling hills below and beyond. What a great way to spend a sunny autumn afternoon picking and eating apples right from the trees. Give all your senses a feast and enjoy!”

“Loved everything about our visit to your orchards. The pumpkins were affordable and fun to pick! The apples are large and juicy! The organic apple cider was my favorite part along with the two ponies. I hope to come back year after year.”

“Our family really enjoyed our visit here in 2023. There was a kitten for the kids to play with, 2 ponies, corn maze, small play area, and lots of apples. Staff were very friendly. We plan on visiting again this year as well.”

“Delicious apples, amazing prices, Rick is a great guy. Bought four bushels of seconds and are very impressed by quality! Thanks Rick!”

“Great environment and the best apples I've ever eaten! Good prices and way quieter than large apple orchards”
