Our Story

​

Welcome to Apples on the Avenue! Tucked away in Nashua, Iowa, our orchard began with a simple passion: growing fresh, high-quality fruit and creating a welcoming space for families to make lasting seasonal memories. What started as a dedicated effort to cultivate exceptional apple varieties has grown into Cedar Valley’s premier local destination for autumn traditions, crisp fruit, and homemade treats.

 

What We Offer

​

We specialize in growing a wide selection of heirloom and specialty apple varieties—from classic family favorites like Honeycrisp and Cortland to unique, flavorful heirlooms. Beyond the trees, we take pride in offering:

• U-Pick & Pre-Picked Apples: Hand-picked at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and crunch.

• Fresh-Baked Country Treats: Scratch-made baked goods, local honey, and seasonal goodies.

• A Family-Friendly Experience: Weekend visits designed for all ages to explore, taste, and enjoy the beauty of the orchard.

Our Commitment

​

As local growers, we believe in sustainable orchard stewardship and connecting our community directly to where their food is grown. Whether you are stopping by for a bag of pre-picked favorites, spending an afternoon in the trees with family, or picking up local honey, we aim to make every visit memorable.
