   Welcome to
Apple Creek Orchard!

~Formerly Ableman's Apple Creek Orchard~

Family owned and operated
agri-entertainment farm, store &
wedding venue 

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,
Stella, B-51, MacIntosh, Creston, Sweet 16, Cortland,
Wealthy, Keepsake, Snowsweet, Whitney crabapple, Snowdrift,
Black Arkansas, Evercrisp, Blondee, Sonya, Ambrosia,
Ludacrisp, Pie Blend (macintosh, cortland, wealthy), 

*BOLD is current in store
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!
