7 Minnesota Apple Orchards You Need to Visit This Year

Girl holding Apple bag

There truly is never a better time to be in Minnesota than in the fall. One of our favorite fall activities is to enjoy a lovely hard cider and go apple picking at one of the many unique Minnesota Apple Orchards. 

This year we decided to explore some new Apple Orchards surrounding the Twin Cities. We tapped into our amazing Instagram community and checked out many of the suggestions that were shared with us. 

We compiled a fabulous list of Minnesota Apple Orchards for you to try out this year. Let us know which one you are most excited to visit!

1. Aamodts

6428 Manning Ave N, Stillwater, MN 55082

Aamodts is one of those Apple Orchards where you can spend the entire day, simply because there is just that many activities to do there.

In addition to Apple Orchards, they also have a Sunflower Field and a Grape Vineyard on site through their collaboration with St. Croix Vineyards.

We did a mini wine tasting and brought home a delicious Pinot Noir! Stop in their shop for handmade gifts and fall themed baked goods like Apple Pie and Oatmeal Apple Cookies. 

For adult beverages you have your choice of hard ciders or wine from their on site vineyards. We did a little of both! 

Another unique highlight of Aamodts Orchard is they have food trucks! Try their Apple Bratwurst, Honeycrisp Apple Salsa, or Apple Cinnamon Donuts. So good! 

2. Fireside Orchard 

2225 Lonsdale Blvd E, Northfield, MN 55057

Fireside Orchard and Garden

If you are looking for an Apple Farm that is a little smaller in size, this is a great option! Fireside Orchard is no doubt the most charming Apple Orchard in Minnesota! 

Right when you walk up, you’ll notice their pond and garden on site.

Relax under their giant pavilion and marvel at the string lights hung throughout the ceiling.

It’s the perfect spot if you are looking to plan a fall date night or want to get dressed up and take pictures with your girls! 

They don’t offer apple picking, but you can purchase their delicious applies from inside their shop. Make sure you grab one of their Apple Pies to go as well! 

3. Sweetland Orchard 

26205 Fairlawn Ave, Webster, MN 55088

Not everyone wants an Apple Orchard that comes with all the bells and whistles. Check out Sweetland Orchard if you are in the mood for a more private experience. 

This family owned Minnesota Apple Orchard allows you to walk through their 20 acres of land that they manage and operate with the help of their friends.

Unlike most Apple Orchards, this one has picnic tables scattered throughout the orchard so that you can have your own private picnic with a view! So smart.

Our favorite part about this Apple Orchard is their infamous white barn. Here you can purchase their delicious hard ciders and Apple Cinnamon Donuts. 

Dogs allowed on site!

4. Whistling Well Farm

8973 St Croix Trail S, Hastings, MN 55033

There are not many places that are offering Apple Picking these days due to Covid. So we were super excited that Whistling Well Farm was still allowing visitors to pick apples safely.

It costs $15 for a medium sized bag and $25 for a large. We did the medium size bag and left with plenty of apples.

In addition to an incredible Apple Orchard, they also have a popular Pumpkin Patch so you can do all your fall activities in one stop! 

Grab one of their red wagons and take a photo shoot fill it up with apples and pumpkins to take home. 

There is a small shop where you can purchase things like homemade Pumpkin Butter, jellies, and Apple Pancake Mix.

They also have a mini farm with goats and chickens that you can feed when you’re done feeding yourself! 

5. Afton Apple Orchard 

14421 90th St S, Hastings, MN 55033

Holding raspberries in a Minnesota Apple Orchard

Okay, so this is the only Minnesota Apple Orchard on our list that isn’t free to get in. But trust us when we say that the experience is worth the $5 admission price. 

What does that include? A tracker hayride that takes you around the entire farm. A giant swing made of wood. A playground utopia to drop off the kids.

They also offer Apple Picking, Pumpkin Picking, Strawberry Picking, and Raspberry Picking. We’d highly recommend Raspberry Picking because it’s a less crowded activity, and something that’s not offered at most Apple Orchards in Minnesota. 

It’s a little more commercial than the other Minnesota Apple Orchards, but a fun experience to do with the whole family. They even have a 15 acre Corn Maze to explore for an additional fee.

If you are looking for a kid-less experience than you might want to skip this one. 

Just know that this place fills up quickly, so make sure to get there early! 

6. Pine Tree Apple Orchard

450 Apple Orchard Rd, White Bear Lake, MN 55110

Pine Tree is another very popular Apple Orchard in Minnesota. 

Some of the highlights include a 30 minute Corn Maze, their Apple Cider Freezies, and a 6-acre Pumpkin Patch.  

They also offer Strawberry Picking through their dazzling Strawberry field earlier in the year. 

What’s unique about this Apple Orchard is that they put on special events throughout the year. So one day they might have live music. Another day it may be an organized jog through their orchard or a wine tasting.

You can check out their Event Calendar to see what cool things they have coming up! 

7. Applewood Orchard

22702 Hamburg Ave, Lakeville, MN 55044

The last Minnesota Apple Orchard on the list is perfect if your goal is to leave with a variety of apples.

Have you heard of Applewood Orchard in Lakeville? 

Here they have 14 different apple varieties that you can choose from—and you get to pick them yourself! Honeycrisp, Sweet Tangos, and First Kiss apples to name a few types offered. 

If you are looking for an affordable spot to pick apples, add this orchard to your list. 

And that covers it! We hope you enjoyed our list of the 7 best Apple Orchards in Minnesota. Comment below which ones you have been to already. And let us know if there are other Minnesota Apple Orchards that you think should be included on this list!

Cowboy Carter Act ✌🏼

Wunmi flew to LA to see Beyoncé the other week, so of course I had to find a stop on the tour to see Queen B, too!

📍 Chicago

She was worth every minute of the 1.5-hour traffic to Soldier Field 😭

But seriously—what’s the secret to surviving Chicago traffic without rage-crying?

Wunmi here! 👋🏾My sister and I love us some Vanderpump Rules (anyone else a fan?!) so we knew we had to hit up a few iconic spots while we were in LA. 

What we didn’t expect? - It was the 20th anniversary of SUR — and we walked right into a full-on celebration!! 😅🤗

We met Lisa and Ken, caught filming for the new season, and even got served by the new cast (!!). Truly a night for the books!! 

So if you’re planning a girls trip to LA and want your own Vanderpump moment — here’s how to do it:

1. Start at SUR for dinner — yes, the goat cheese balls are still on the menu! Don’t forget to order a PUMP TINI 🍸💓

2. Walk over to Tom Tom for post-dinner drinks and dancing (the vibe is strong)

3. Wrap up the next day with lunch at Something About Her — the sandwiches are cute, the branding is cuter

They are all literally down the street from one another (within walking distance) in West Hollywood, and all Bravo fan-approved. 👌🏾

Send this to your girl group and save for your next LA trip!

Locked up in Stillwater, Minnesota! 

We recently tested our team working skills together at @stillwaterescapeco and it’s no surprise…we had a blast and escaped the room!

Stillwater Escape Co. has three different escape rooms catered to all experience levels and group sizes, with another one coming soon. The rooms are so well designed—we can’t wait to try out all of them! 

Tag your bestie to take on the challenge! Can you beat our time??
