Oh My! I just read your message to me! EEEEEK!
I apologize profusely for not KNOWING you had sent an email to me, and for all I know.... you might already be my NEIGHBOR! If you HAVE relocated to our state, I give you a hearty WELCOME, but if you haven't moved yet and still want information, I'm more than willing to STILL help out!

There are over 300 varieties of fruit trees that bear fruit in our Eau Claire area! I am including a link to just one of many orchards in our area, and they list many of the types of fruit that are grown locally. There are apples, apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums, and a host of other fruits that are grown right here, such as strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries! Here is the link to their orchard:
