Very straightforward process--choose your apple bag size (small or large) and pick from what's available. The website states their policies very clearly (ex: cash or check only, hours, apple selections, etc). The website's apple variety availability is more of a guidelines--when you get to the orchard, the staff will tell you which apple varieties you can choose. So if you are really obsessed with a particular apple type, call them to see if it's available for picking. This is almost purely an orchard, there's not an all year petting zoo or other attractions on all time. It's really easy to get to Eplegaarden from Madison, so it's definitely my U-pick orchard of choice.
