Fall seems to be here, and in MN that means apples rule. Embrace the gratification that comes with hand-picking a food source right from the land. And the local land around is is plentiful. So get your nit-pick on, hit one of the following orchards and enjoy the fruits of your labor:

Aamodt's Apple Farm - Stillwater

All About Apples - Regional map

Afton Apples - Hastings, MN

MN Harvest - Jordan, MN
