Established in 1987, strawberries were the main crop at Northwoods Orchard for over ten years while our apple trees matured. We are long-time vendors at the Rochester Downtown Farmers’ Market, direct-marketing our produce for over three decades. Fall 2002 marked the transition to an on-the-farm family adventure at Northwoods Orchard.
The Northwoods crew has worked hard to create an opportunity for a fun family adventure. Bring your camera, and come explore Northwoods Orchard!
For the safety of our guests, staff and farm animals, we ask that you leave your pets at home when you visit Northwoods Orchard. Service animals are always welcome!
IMPORTANT COVID-19 INFORMATION
We’ve worked hard to make your fall experience fun and safe – you will notice some changes this year.
- We are open Tuesday – Sunday from August 29 through November 1. This will allow you to enjoy the Orchard during the week if you prefer a quieter visit. Tuesday – Saturday hours are 10 AM – 6 PM. Sunday hours are 1 PM – 6 PM.
- Because of the need for household groups to be socially distant, we are unable to offer wagon rides.
- We’ve retooled our corn mazes – you’ll still be searching for boxes, although with a pencil rather than stamps and, unfortunately, the beloved treasure box is a victim of the current climate.
- On-site consumption of food is not an option this year, but you will still find those don’t-miss donuts and caramel apples, packaged and ready to go!
- We’ve tried to arrange our produce so that everything is available outside, but you will want to bring your face coverings – there’s an abundant crop of apples this year, and we may have to use some indoor space.
Please bear with us, enjoy the fresh air, and look forward to having all the things you love about Northwoods back again in 2021 (we’re all hopeful!).
EXPLORE NORTHWOODS ORCHARD!
Spend an afternoon with Northwoods Orchard, and get lost in the labyrinth as you wind your way through our contactless “Quarn” maze looking for those hidden boxes. Or try the smaller maze – just the right size for younger guests, with hidden boxes in a smaller and more confined area. Take a walk through the woods and orchard, and experience a beautiful rural Fall day!
Northwoods Orchard is just place for your Minnesota apples, pumpkins and other fall ornamentals.
There’s plenty of parking, so come visit us every week through October. E-mail us to reserve your gathering area and take advantage of special pricing for larger groups, or for weekday school field trips.
For the safety of our guests, staff and farm animals, we ask that you leave your pets at home when you visit Northwoods Orchard. Service animals are always welcome!
