Summer is moving right along, and so are all these apples. You can see in the photo we have gained another whole inch in July. It is only a few weeks now until our early varieties make it to a handsome 3" girth, and are ready to pick. We are enthused about our bountiful crop, grateful for good weather and minimal hail, and pleased to have won the battle with bugs and scab.. So, you must come on out and see, and pick, of course. Here are the details:

Beginning Sat. August 19th we are open daily. Weekends 9AM-6PM, Weekdays 10AM-5PM The wagons will be rolling. BBQ available on the outdoor pavilion, Happily Apple hard cider tastings alongside. Sweet cider available, apple pies, turnovers, gourmet food items in the General Store. Carl the peacock will be strutting around as usual, and the new young 'uns often follow.

Opening apple varieties include: PaulaRed, State Fair, Red Baron, Chestnut Crab (Aug 26th) Zestar. For questions call: 952-492-2785

In the meantime, our Happily Apple and Cranberry Tart hard Ciders have been received with enthusiasm (because they are really good). So, check the shelves in stores throughout the Twin Cities -- especially the Western Suburbs and Rochester. Click on the Cider bottle photo to see where tastings are scheduled. We hope to have our Orchard Tasting Room open before Fall, so watch this site for updates.
