Wisconsin to the Core

Fall is the time for apples, pumpkins and outdoor fun for everyone. Sutter’s Ridge Farm in Mount Horeb, owned by Matt and Julie Sutter, features a variety of you-pick crops, fun games and amazing views of the countryside.

Sutter's Ridge Farm

Born and Raised

Matt and Julie Sutter are the third generation of Sutters to own the farm, which took on a you-pick style when they realized how much people really enjoy being on the farm and picking the fruit themselves.

An Apple a Day

Apples have a very long growing season, starting with pruning in March and ending with picking in September. Sutter’s Ridge Farm offers about 20 different kinds of apples.

The Apple of His Eye

A typical day for Matt Sutter includes feeding the farm animals, picking Honeycrisp apples before they fall on the ground and cleaning up the farm from the weekend before.

Sweet Treats

Pumpkin bars and cider are favorites on the farm, which are also sold along with apples at the Dane County Farmers’ Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Fun in the Country

Sutter’s Ridge Farm is open on weekends offering apple picking, raspberry picking, wagon rides in the pumpkin patch and a three-acre corn maze. It is interactive fun for the whole family!
