Family is a big part of business success at Misty Ridge Orchard in Oneida
GREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTE
After talking to Steve and Kerrie Gonnering about their business, Misty Ridge Orchard in Oneida, I couldn’t wait to gather the grandkids and visit. It turned out to be even better than anticipated.
The Gonnerings, who both have full-time jobs outside of the orchard, have created an absolutely wonderful place. There are apples, outdoor games, a petting zoo, bales of hay to climb on, swings, pumpkins, a sandbox, and a corn maze. Then, after hours of play, guests can cool off in the shop and enjoy a slice of apple pie, caramel apple, or cider slushie.
“We are off the beaten path (N5126 Advent Road), but once people find us, and once they experience us, they will come back,” Kerrie said.
That wasn’t their initial goal when creating a business on their 25 acres. What started as a plan to grow Christmas trees took a turn when the soil proved to be incompatible. That led Steve to consider apple trees...
