Specialty Foods
We Promote Wisconsin.
We love to promote the products of Wisconsin-based companies. Slack’s Jelly Farm, located in Lodi, Wisconsin, and Wildwood Specialty Foods, located right here in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, offer a unique variety of sweet spreads, dried dips, and soup mixes.
We’re also always on the lookout for small-batch artisanal products that compliment our orchard goods. Check out what’s new each fall!
Ecker’s Honey
The honey bears go marching...
Honey is extracted each year from hives in our orchard around the end of August. Our honey has floral undertones, as our bees work hard each spring to pollinate our apple blossoms.
Honey bears are available for purchase each fall or bring in your own jar and fill straight from our beautiful honey dispenser.
APPLE TREES & HONEY BEES
The perfect match.
Naturally, honeybees are the main pollinators of apples. Since apple trees cannot self-pollinate, the pollen from our other trees is necessary for the fruit to grow, usually requiring 1-2 beehives per acre for proper development and fruit set. In our beehives, apple blossom pollen is used to create some of the sweetest tasting honey you’ll ever experience.
