Fall

We will be open Saturdays and Sundays this fall from 10:00-6:00.

Since our operation is mostly outdoors, we close when the chances for rain are >50% or when the projected high is below freezing.

We grow varieties developed by the University of Minnesota, heirloom varieties, and cider varieties; and we manage our orchard through minimal intervention.

Apple and pear varieties are organized chronologically from early season varieties to mid- and then late season varieties. To see what’s currently available at the orchard, visit our Facebook page or look on Instagram.

What to Expect

Visit us for a quiet day full of simple pleasures in the country: a stroll in the orchard, delicious flavors of hard ciders to sample, chickens, and the beauty of nature.

When you plan your visit, consider doing any of the following:

  • Reserve a tasting kit! Tasting kits accommodate up to four people. Choose a basic hard cider tasting kit and add some extras to it like a dessert cider tasting, pastry, or cheese.

  • Plan a picnic! We have pastry, cheese, bread, and cider donuts that you can use to prepare your own orchard meal, but also feel free to bring your own food (please just don’t bring beer or wine, which isn’t supported by our liquor license). We have picnic tables by the barn and in the orchard too, or bring a blanket and a lawn chair. You can buy hard cider to round out your meal.

  • Stroll the orchard! Although we don’t do pick-your-own here, we welcome you to take a walk in the orchard and see what there is to see. We grow over 100 varieties of apples plus pears and tart cherries. Between the orchard flora and the chickens, there’s plenty to take in.

  • Learn something new! There’s a lot to learn here from the tasting notes included in the kit to special events that we hold throughout the season or even just from talking to us. We love to talk apples and cider!

  • Shop and dash! Maybe you just need to pick up some apples. And some cider. And a few donuts since you’re here. And add a pack of Odenthal’s beef jerky. That’s just fine that you need to make a quick stop! We’ll miss being able to talk to you, but we understand.

A Bit More Information About Our Tasting Kits

RESERVATIONS FOR TASTING KITS ARE REQUIRED 12 HOURS IN ADVANCE. Tasting kit fees will be refunded in full for cancellations 24 hours in advance or if we close the orchard due to poor weather conditions.

If you come to the orchard without a tasting kit reservation, that’s okay! We won’t be able to get you a tasting kit because they take a good deal of advance assembly, but you’re still welcome to stroll the orchard, purchase cider and snacks, and plant yourself at a picnic table to try and keep your food away from the chickens.
