Denmark Gardens Apple Orchard was established in 2010 by Patsy & Max Makuch. After retiring from dairy farming, they took a portion of the family farm and created Lewis County’s only U-Pick orchard as a retirement hobby! They have now planted 745 trees to date.

Patsy and Max enjoy the orchard with their families – kids, grandkids, parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews! If you visit the orchard, you will more than likely see a family member working or helping out.

We look forward to enjoying the orchard with you this Fall!

Applelishous Facts

One half cup of apples is only 42 calories
Apples contain no cholesterol or fat.
Apples are high in fiber, Vitamin A and niacin.
Apples contain iron and other trace minerals and are a fair source of Vitamin C
Apples are ranked No. 1 in antioxidant activity, compared with other fruits.
When you slice an apple, the cut cells of the apple are exposed to oxygen in the air, enzyems called polyphenol oxidase react to this injury and create the browning compounds. This is why apples turn brown when cut!
To prevent browning, dip the apple slices in a bowl of water mixed with lemon juice (2 quarts water / ½ cup lemon juice)
