Red apples blossomed in the cheeks of kids as they jumped their ways into the scenic Minnetonka Orchard. It was our first visit to a U Pick Farm where consumers get to pick, choose and harvest the produce. Apples were everywhere – on Earth, trees and in the hearts of the visitors! Clear open sky, vast green Earth and natural splendor of the place did wonders to our spirit. The decision to pick apples on Labor Day at the start of Fall was not a bad idea at all. Here are some pictures of the place for you.
Kids having a field day!
We took a ride in the famous John Deere tractor.
A lovely red barn – firsthand experience of farm life.
Friendly livestock and a maze created in a cornfield at the background.
Apple field beyond.
Some delicious blackberries.
A place right in the nature’s lap!
There were other amazing things including a hay fun stack, food zone and play area for kids. As we made our way back to our car with a bag full of the delicious fruit, I admired the concept behind the place. How easily it connected us, the disconnected town folks, back to Mother Earth.
Lovely post!!! I live in apple orchard country…we know that school has started when the apples are ready for picking 🙂

Thank you Tonya! You get to live this fun everyday. Although I know what a hard life it is being a daughter of an agriculturist. My husband loves farm life and I often tell and show him your blogs😀

Thank you. Yes this is a kind of direct marketing strategy which is immensely beneficial for farmers. I think if this gets adapted in India, it will be great😀
