The
2026 Season
is finally here!
We are now open everyday 10am-6pm for self serve.
Updated 10/15/2026
The barn is open and the cooler is full of apples. We have our own Triumph and Pie Mix apples, along with Haralson, and Pazazz apples from Howling Moon Orchard. The jam varieties are rolling out as the fruit is processed, our orchard honey is ready to purchase, Abdullah caramel is here and caramel apples are stocked up! The freezers are also stocked with apple crisps and pies.
We are open for U-Pick Pumpkins and U-Pick Flowers (until a frost hits)! We've also unveiled this year's corn maze theme: Dolly Parton!
M.E.A. Week Activities!
- Find the Golden Pumpkin! From Thursday thru Sunday we're hiding golden pumpkins in the corn maze for you to discover. The prize for finding one? You get to take it home!
- Pumpkin Painting. Buy a pumpkin and paint it for free! We've got paint, feathers, pom-poms, googly eyes and more fun things to decorate your pumpkins with. We recommend bringing some cardboard or a box to transport your pumpkin home safely without paint getting on your car.
- Sunday and Saturday there will be Horse-drawn Hayrides! It's cash only, $4 a person, and runs from noon to 4pm.
U-Pick Apples are finished for the season. It's been a rough apple year, you can scroll down to 'A Note About Apples...' for details. But we still have SO MANY beautiful Jack'O'Lantern pumpkins for you to choose from!

This season we will be charging a service fee for all credit/debit transactions to help off-set the cost. Please bring cash or your checkbook to avoid the cost.
A Note About Apples this Season:
Orchards across the state and the country were hit hard by sudden cold temperatures this past spring. We faced a significant crop loss along with many others. However, we're focused on quality, not quantity. This season we're limiting the amount of apples people can pick themselves, and emphasizing smaller bag sizes to ensure as many folks as possible get to experience the magic of fresh apples. Please be patient with us!
Nitty Gritty of what this means:
-Each Apple Picking group is limited to one 1/4 bag. This is limited by GROUP, not household or carload. More bags can be distributed if you have more than 7 in your group. You can purchase as many pre-picked apples as you like.
- We have bought in apples from Howling Moon Orchard in Lake City, MN including Honeycrisp, First Kiss, Haralson, and Pazazz. We're thrilled with their quality!
We WILL have an above average Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin and grape crop this year however!
So you know, when it rains it pours at this here farm.

R E M I N D E R S :
DOGSDogs are allowed on the farm as long as they're leashed, and get along with humans and other dogs.
Our dog Doug will be off-leash during the season. He's very good with kids and other dogs, though he does bark a lot. Our newer dog Twig is also off-leash, but only during the week. He too is very friendly, but more *enthusiastic* about it. He is skittish of kids, but the more you say hello and offer pets, the more in love he'll become. |
SELF-SERVEWe are self-serve Monday thru Friday. This means no one will be behind the counter to assist you, but we do have a self-checkout system to run credit cards.
If you are uncomfortable with tech, please bring your checkbook, or a variety of bills so you can make exact change. |
PHOTOSProfessional Photography (i.e. if paid for your service) is allowed at a $20 per session fee. You may leave money in the barn, via the self serve slot. You're welcome to give us a heads up before you come, but no appointment is required.
Please encourage your clients to make purchases, tag us in anything you post, and/or credit us on your websites. We're first and foremost a farm, please avoid work spaces, work around pets, and do not pick anything without permission. |
