About Us
CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
Fireside Orchard & Gardens Inc. is a 50+ acre, family-owned orchard near Northfield, MN. We grow 27 varieties of apples, and we specialize in Minnesota-grown apples. We focus on Minnesota fruit because of our excellent temperate weather environment and the abundance of amazing apple varieties Minnesota has discovered. Our goal is to grow excellent apples and provide a wonderful family experience for our customers to enjoy the best of what Minnesota has to offer.
We grow favorite Minnesota varieties such as Zestar, Haralson, Fireside, SweeTango, Honeycrisp, First Kiss, and Keepsake, as well as other popular apples like Cortland and McIntosh. We pride ourselves on producing the highest quality, tree ripened fruit to give you the best flavor and eating experience possible. Our cold storage facilities guarantee crispness and freshness.
OUR GARDENS
We try to make the orchard much more than simply a store to buy apples. A lot of effort goes into the beautiful rose, perennial, and water gardens that are on the premises. There is a comfortable pavilion on which to sit and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells while you are eating your caramel apples and fudge on a sunny autumn afternoon.
You could even make a picnic out of it. We encourage people to take a moment out of their busy lives and “stop and smell the flowers”!
Thank you for considering Fireside Orchard for your group outing or event. Groups of 10 or more people must make a reservation with management prior to arrival. Please call 507-663-1376 to make arrangements. Ask Todd or Doug.
