Growing quality apples for you since 1971
We will be closed on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th.
Celebrating over 50 + Years of Growing the Finest Apples for You!
Welcome to Fireside Orchard and Gardens! A favorite MN family-friendly apple orchard about 30 minutes south of the Twin Cities metro area, in Northfield, Minnesota.
We grow 27 favorite Minnesota varieties such as Honeycrisp, SweeTango, Zestar!, Haralson, and Fireside, as well as other popular apples like Cortland, Regent, Keepsake, 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 apples create lifelong memories!
We have gone to great lengths to make our grounds enjoyable for the entire family. Come stroll through the rose gardens and let your senses be amazed. Enjoy watching the Koi fish and wildlife at the pond. Sit, relax, and watch the sun cross the sky from the gazebo. Or play yard games with the family on the south lawn. There’s plenty to do, and not do here.
