Our patio has quietly become a keeper of memories. Some evenings, a couple sits down to celebrate their anniversary while the sun slips low over the fields. At the next table, a family gathers close for a birthday. Nearby, old friends catch up over a round of drinks as the sky turns gold. Our patio was made for moments like these, the ones too precious to let pass by, with open views, room to breathe, and the beautiful Iowa countryside stretching out all around you. 🌅

Apple picking may be done for the year, but pumpkin season is still going strong! 🎃

Sixty-four degrees, blue skies, and a pumpkin patch full of wonderfully round, lumpy, crooked, and perfectly imperfect pumpkins waiting to be picked. If you’d asked us to dream up a beautiful fall day, it would look a whole lot like today.

It’s warm enough to wander the patch in a sweater, cool enough for a cup of hot c***r afterward, and just about perfect for spending a little extra time outside. Grab a wagon, bring the family, and see which pumpkin gets to come home with you! 🍂

The shade sails have come down for the season, which means the patio is soaking up every bit of this golden October sunshine. ☀️

Come enjoy it with weekend brunch from 9am-2:30pm, where the patio is warm, the coffee is hot, and the orchard view is looking its very best. 🍂

After the frost we received last night, we are done with you-pick apples for the year! 🍎🎉

The trees have given us everything they had, through 25 straight days of rain in September and every sunny afternoon since. 🌦️

We’re intentional about how we care for the orchard, using an Integrated Pest Management approach with minimal intervention and spot treatments only when they’re needed. 🧑‍🌾

That means our fruit doesn’t always look grocery-store perfect. Some of our sweetest, most-loved varieties have delicate skin, and weeks of rain, humidity, and changing weather can leave behind spots, blemishes, or russeting (a rough, brownish patch on the skin).

None of that makes the apple any less delicious. In many cases, it just looks a little more like where it came from. 🐝

Right now, you can expect pre-picked apples to be available through the winter-time.

There’s something to look forward to at the farm every season, and winter is no exception. ❄️

Wilson's is open year-round, and next month, freshly-cut Christmas trees will make their way to the farm, ready to find a home for the holidays. Our Holiday Market will be returning, too, bringing a little extra warmth and cheer to the colder months. 🎄

And before we know it, the snow will melt, the first flowers will begin to bloom, and the whole beautiful cycle will start all over again. 🌱💙

It may not be summer anymore, but this warm weather sure feels like it, and Boon & Lambert are here to keep that feeling going. On Sunday, this Okoboji duo plays everything from the 1960s through today, with a special love for classic rock, pop, and the 90s favorites you’ll catch yourself singing along to. 🎶☀️

If you can’t make it out to the farm this fall, the farm can come to you! 🍎

Downtown Des Moines on a Saturday morning is a ritual all its own, with coffee in hand, neighbors stopping to chat, and the streets filling up with growers and makers from all over Iowa. Being part of that has been one of the true joys of our season, and it’s a privilege to serve this community every week. You’ll find us again this weekend with the last of our seasonal Mixed Berry C***r, our newest sparkling non-alcoholic apple c***rs, apples picked from our orchard, fresh sourdough, and apple c***r donuts that tend to disappear early! 🍩🥖

10/15/2026

Something landed in the cornfield, and ever since, the maze has felt a little… off. The paths seem to turn where they didn’t before, the stalks rustle when no one’s nearby, and every so often, a faint green glow appears somewhere it definitely shouldn’t.

Whatever came down from the sky has made itself comfortable deep between the rows, and it’s been waiting patiently for someone curious enough to go looking.

They’re friendly, we promise. (Mostly). 🛸

📅 Thursday, October 14 is canceled due to rain!
📅 Open Fri & Sat this week from 7pm - 9:30pm
🎟️ $12 online, $14 in-person

This is it, folks. The final week of apple picking for the season! 🥳🍎

With some beautiful fall weather ahead, we can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than wandering through the orchard, admiring the changing leaves, and hunting for the last apples of the year.

You'll have to work a little harder for them this time! The remaining apples are scattered among the rows at the very back of the orchard, so lace up your walking shoes, grab a basket, and consider it one last apple hunt before the season is through. And if you don't find quite enough of your favorite variety, our Farm Market has plenty of pre-picked apples to fill your bag to the brim! 🍂

Join us for a day of destruction! 🎃

On November 1st at 12pm, the pumpkin patch becomes a battlefield, and every leftover pumpkin on the farm is fair game. Hoist them overhead, drop them from as high as you dare, or bring the mallet down with everything you’ve got. The bigger the splat, the better! 💥

Every casualty goes straight back to the land as compost for next year’s crops. Few acts of destruction are this productive 😎

Your ticket includes admission to the patch and farmyard, plus a cup of mulled c***r to celebrate your victory! 🏆
