 Wills Family Orchard is located in the rolling hills of Dallas County, Iowa. Our small family orchard lies high above Panther Creek to the east and the South Raccoon River to the south and west. When you visit the orchard, our ridge-top location will give you a reason to go for a walk, not only to enjoy the fresh air and exercise but to enjoy the scenic views.
Our orchard is the perfect get-away, located only 20 minutes west of Des Moines. Please come and visit us and take in the sites and sounds of the countryside and take home that fresh country taste found in each one of our orchard products. 2009 Apples are Sold Out! 2009 Season Hours

Wills Family Orchard apples have been certified organic since 2000. This means that we do not use commercial synthetic fertilizers and a whole host of insecticides and fungicides. Raising apples organically in Iowa is without a doubt a very difficult thing to do and not many try it. We use only organically approved products. This does make our work particularly challenging. We've cooperated with Iowa State University on a number of different research projects. While we believe that we've mastered some organic apple growing methods we will be the first to say that we've made plenty of mistakes and that we're still learning.

We still have a tremendous crop of high quality pumpkins and it looks like this weekend (October 17th & 18th) just may be the weekend you've been waiting for. So come on out and take in the fall colors; pick up some apples, apple treats & and bring home a wagon load of your favorite pumpkins. |
