In 1951 Gerhart & Else Sawatzky started an apple orchard on their family farm. From a working farm to an agri-entertainment destination, this land has been a staple in the Faribault community for over 70 years!
Apples 🍎
Our apples are the star of the show! With over 12,000 trees and 33+ varieties, we have been a wholesale and retail orchard for over 70 years!
Our varieties include:
First Kiss, Premiere Honeycrisp, Honeycrisp, Kinderkrisp,
SweeTango, Zestar, Chestnut crabapple, Haralson, Sansa,

Unfortunately, we were hit with a massive crop loss this season.
Hail damaged most of our apples resulting in many unavailable varieties.
We are optimistic that next year will be better!
