LIVE MUSIC at APPLECAMP

Due to the weather outlook this weekend, we are moving live music to Depot Hill Creative in downtown Stoughton on Saturday, September 19. Please check out the stellar lineup on our schedule page.

Important Update

The weather outlook for the weekend is dismal and shows no signs of improving. We have cooked up an alternative plan for live music on Saturday but are, sadly, canceling all other outdoor activities (except picking apples!).

We hope you will blow in the wind with us and come to the free show.

  1. Live music has moved to Depot Hill Creative on Saturday night starting at 6pm. Please see the schedule for the limited lineup.

  2. We will be bringing soup, apple butter, cider, and apples to the show. The spirit of Applecamp will live on!

  3. The one thing we can count on is the apples. Come pick anytime, rain or shine.

  4. If you have any questions, contact us.

  1. Our address is 718 Taylor Lane, Stoughton, WI 53589. Please drive through the red gates and take the long driveway to the parking lot.

  2. Please leave no trace whether you are camping or stopping by. This is a private property/event and we welcome kind and respectful friends and family to our home. Please RSVP if you plan on coming.

  3. We highly recommend wearing close-toed shoes (NOT SANDALS) in the orchard.

  4. All activities are at your own risk. Please be careful climbing ladders, paddling on the river, or running around like a feral child.

Frequently Asked Questions…

  • We are Nicholas Brigham Schmuhl and Liz Vanderwerff and we live on 6.5 acres south of Stoughton. We are the creative duo behind Cat Fish Clay.

    We have nearly 60 apple trees, an expansive lawn, and are right on the Yahara River. Seems like a good excuse to throw an apple-picking hoedown.

  • Yes, yes and NO! If you are coming to Applecamp, please RSVP so we have a sense of who is coming.

    Please do not bring your dog. Our dog is friendly with people but not with other dogs.

  • No. The only thing we do to the apple trees is prune every winter.

  • Yes! Please consider coming on Saturday, September 12 for a day of cider pressing. You can press your own juice and/or help us press a small batch of hard cider to be enjoyed next year.

    We have an old-school press and will (hopefully) have volunteers stationed to grind and press apples for you to take home.

    Please bring your own vessels!

  • There will be a portal potty available to transport you to another dimension.
