10 Best Apple Orchards Near the Twin Cities

Fall in Minnesota means crisp air, orange leaves, and the joy of apple picking

Thankfully, many charming apple orchards are just a short drive from the Twin Cities – each offering something special like Minnesota-grown apples, pies, hayrides, corn mazes, cider donuts and more. From family-friendly fun to delicious seasonal treats, here are ten local favorites you’ll want to add to your seasonal bucket list.

Fall also means cooler temps, and warmer gear for hiking, traveling and camping, like coats, boots and insulated bottles. Check out my storefront for a list of my favorite fall travel items!
