Check out the owners of Timberland Hills Orchard near Frederic WI (715) 653-2334.

They would have good experience in growing apples in far north WI and all the issues in USDA Hardiness Zone 3a and3b.

Be aware Bayfield, further north than you is a Zone 5a due to it's micro-climate influence of Lake Superior.

Hello,

   I have a property in Solon Springs, WI and I'm planning to develop  an orchard.   It will be more of a hobby/labor of love than commercial operation and I'm looking to hire some expertise to  help me do a preliminary "art of the possible" assessment.  I'm hoping to have a variety of fruit trees but primarily apple.  Please reach out if interested.

Thanks in advance!
