Applewood Orchard is located in Lakeville Minnesota.
From 1995 to the present day the orchard has grown to a new building with a store of over 2000 square feet of area, over 9,000 apple trees of 16 varieties and various related products available, and entertaining things for a quality family outing.
A wood framed playground and hedge maze for our younger visitors, 25 acres of pick your own orchard for everyone, fresh grown pumpkins for the holidays and pie enthusiasts and in some years a corn maze of almost ten acres to get good and lost in.
Not to mention the antique John Deere tractors for the hay rides around the orchard.
With constant maintenance and improvements to the orchard we hope to see you come and have a great time with your families and friends for years to come (we always hope for great weather in the fall too!).
Keep an eye on the website as well as our Facebook page as fall comes around for definite dates when the orchard will be open and for availability of your favorite apples.
Applewood Orchard Hours & Picking Season
No matter where you go to pick your fruits and vegetables, u-pick farms will all have different open times and seasonal times based on many different factors.
We list ‘Open Season’ below as a general guide to when you can find what Applewood Orchard offers.
This seasonal open date can start in the middle or end of the month. Some u-pick farms are also only open for a short period of time. Depending on where in the country you are located, some produce may have very short seasons.
The actual business hours will vary based on the farm, where they are located and when their fruits and vegetables are ripe and ready for picking.
It is impossible to get a set standard on business hours or even an exact date of seasonal openings and closings.
For this reason, we try hard to be as accurate as possible with Applewood Orchard u-pick seasons. It is up to you to check with the farm to make sure they are open and what their hours of operation are.
Weather is also a factor in both the seasonal openings/closings and business hours of a farm. Weather alone can affect when a crop will ripen or even if there will be a crop available this year.
Too much rain, not enough rain and not enough sun can also affect the timing of when Applewood Orchard will have a crop ready for u-pick.
We have listed the contact information of Applewood Orchard below to help you with finding their open times and what produce they are currently picking. Some farms only have one produce they are picking while others will have many different fruits and vegetables available throughout the year.
Even if the farm only offers one item to pick, they may have a farmers market or fruit stand where you can buy additional items or goodies to take home with you.
We found that most farms have at least one social media account where they will list their seasonal opening and closings, including pictures of their produce.
If you are ever in doubt, please call Applewood Orchard before heading out to make sure they are open.
Thank You For Supporting Applewood Orchard
One of our main purposes is to support farms from all over the United States. Growing up our family would always make it a point to find a local farm to support and pick fresh apples.
Now our children get to have the same experience and learn what it means to support farmers who provide not only our fruits but also vegetables. This becomes a learning experience for them and a tradition we hope that they continue to carry with them.
Besides, going to a local u-pick farm is not only fun but gets you out of the house and active!
When you support a local farm like Applewood Orchard, you are supporting small businesses and the families that go with that farm. You are also promoting a healthier lifestyle and our mission for a sustainable food source.
Some of the larger u-pick farmers also support your local food banks. We would love to see a world where our smaller farmers are producing more of our fresh produce and can compete with bigger box stores.
If you have been to a local u-pick, you probably know the difference in quality of their fruits and vegetables compared to your local box store.
Again, thank you for supporting Applewood Orchard and please reach out to them if you are interested in visiting their farm. Make sure they are open before you head out.
