Wilson's Orchard & Farm
2.7 miIowa City
The site of the Orchard was purchased by German immigrants, Leonhard and Catherine Degen Brack. The Bracks had met and married in Brooklyn, New York. Their path West took them West to Ontonagon County, Michigan. There, Leonhard worked in the mines. Their first born son, Peter, arrived in 1854. Shortly afterwards, Leonhard left his wife and infant son and traveled by boat to Dubuque, Iowa where he worked in the Mines of Spain. Highway 1, the military highway, surely brought him to Johnson County

The Big Apple Orchard

The Marti family grows 2,200 apple trees across 20-plus varieties on their property west of Mount Vernon, and the on-farm store sells what the orchard doesn't move as fresh fruit — fried donuts, baked goods, and honey. It's a weekend operation, open Saturday and Sunday, closed the rest of the week, which keeps the pace closer to a small family orchard than a full-time retail operation.
