The Apple Farm is the perfect activity for fall. It was fairly busy when we arrived but there is plenty of parking. There are quite a few stands throughout the farm offering wine, cider, and food. Along with the apple barn that has of course, apples and everything else fall flavored. I had an apple cider donut and am happy with the choice. Thor's Hard Cider was on site and the customer service was spectacular. They don't usually allow samples but being someone who doesn't get ciders often they allowed it. The cider was great! Highly recommend. For those of you that enjoy wine the Saint Croix Vineyards was onsite. The only downfall is that on a chilly day there is not much indoor seating and even outdoor seating was filling up fast at times.
My favorite apple orchard! It's family friendly, dog friendly, good for a date and friendly outing Food: concession stands- brats, popcorn, meat and cheese, fresh pastries, jams, pies, donuts, cookies and more Drinks: *Alcoholic- Cider from Thor's (dry-sweet) and wine from St Croix Vineyards (reds, whites and rose) *NA- apple cider, water and more We got an apple fritter, turnover, apple crisp, wine flight and a cider flight. The pastries were delicious! You can build your own wine flight but the cider flight is premade and has 6 drinks from dry- sweet. I would prefer to build my own flight. Two of the ciders tasted flat and didn't have much flavor. Service was great! Activities: Express tractor ride, petting goats, cornhole, pick your own apples, board games to play in the winery, walking around the orchard/winery Parking: plenty of free parking in the grassy areas Bathroom: tons of outhouses, handicap accessible and diaper changing table, sinks to wash your hands *Bring a blanket in case it's chilly and if all of the tables are full, there are plenty of places to sit on the ground! Such a fun Fall activity!
I was meeting my aunties for wine tasting before dinner. They were surprised there's a variety to choose from. This is located in the back of Aamodt apple farm, inside the Aamodt store there's a bar and counter to order the cider or you can do a flight to taste. We did 2 flights, both ranging from dry to sweet. Ginger fizz was pretty good. Order at the counter and then take the flights to a table of your choice. The store is huge, they have merchandise and goodies along the walls. Picnic benches in the middle, this felt like a self service vibe. Once we were done drinking, there were stations at the corners for garbage and dishes. They sell packs of ciders in the can to take home. Check out the events page for activities in the apple farm.
Apple Season! It's my local apple farm right here in the heart of Stillwater MN. If you're going during the fall season, lots of people and they all get there early. We arrived at 10:15 and the parking was already nuts. I have to say that it seems more organized this year vs years past and lots of more unique items to buy in the apple barn. At certain times of the year, they have pick your own apples too which is happening right now (this weekend). They have 2 small playsets for kids to play on. They have goats in a fenced off area. Lots of alcohol options (wine and cider) and na options too. We indulged in just regular cider and their honey crisp salsa and chips. It was unique but very tasty. They have a honey crisp express for kiddos but it wasn't running when we were there. Cute photo opps but it doesn't have as much other things to do compared to other apple orchards I've been too. We also purchased donuts and a honey lollipop in the shape of a bear.
Had to come here on our first 40 degree day of the year! Got a flight and wonderful charcuterie board! We were the only people here due to it being early and not warm out. Our server was amazing and offered samples of cider to help us. This place is on the 2025 pub pass as well so come out to Stillwater and check it out!!
I went here with a couple friends to hang out and enjoy the apple hotdogs and cider and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the hot dog was. It had an apple coleslaw topping, which I think could've used more apple, but the hot dog itself was really yummy! The ciders were great and they had sweeter and less sweet varieties to cater to different preferences. There's a winery on site too that has flights so that also seems like a really fun thing to do during a visit here!
We came on a Saturday at 10AM to experience some fall fun. Parking is free, and there is no general admission fee, which is nice. The first thing I want to mention is that they do not do PYO on weekends. I knew this, but I figured there would be enough to do besides pick apples. They have a large store where you can buy apples, baked goods, and other treats and gifts. We purchased some sweet tango apples, a cookie, and some honey sticks. They have a winery, a cider booth, and several other booths with snacks and food. It was 10AM, so while I did have a cider flight that was delicious, it felt way too early to partake. I think I would have a much better experience if I came later in the day. I would love to experience PYO, too, but my work schedule did not allow it.
Not sure if it was just too early in the season, but I didn't get the whole "apple orchard" feel you get at other places. It felt just like a big apple store (with not a huge selection of apples) with not a lot else. Didn't seem like they had a pick your own, or if there was, it wasn't signed well. It was ar least cool to try some of the hard cider by Thor's, which was a highlight of the trip.
This apple orchard is my favorite in Minnesota! They have the cutest little barn store with lots of baked goodies and all the apples you could think. They have a couple goats on site too, the winery here is pretty good and they have the cider from thors. I always get the apple brat which is to die for! Please check this orchard out if you haven't already, you will not regret it.
MA local MN classic apple orchard to visit allowing dogs! Bring your poochie if you can. This spot has been a favorite of mine to visit each season for the quaintness of the location as it definitely doesn't overwhelm. The parking can be wild as everyone parks where they feel fit on the grassy area. I recommend parking near the entry so that you can back out and exit during busy times. I also recommend going early in the morning to avoid the afternoon rush. The grounds are not super big and this orchard is a hit if you have small children as there is a playground, a couple of train rides and fields to run around in. For adults, there is mulled wine and an interior bar serving wine flights and beer. For all ages there are apple brats, cheese trays, apple salsa with chips, kettle corn, indoor market serving honey, everything apple, kitchen utensils and more. The best part about all the cashiers is that they are usually students fundraising tips to support local gymnastics, dance, etc. teaching them the importance of math and customer service. Lastly, I highly recommend doing the pick your own apples as you will purchase a bag and head to the trees to start the adventure. Enjoy!
Our pubpass brought us to Thor's Hard Cider which is on the campus of the apple farm. I had no idea this place existed. It's beautiful. Apple trees all around. Tables set up in the parking lot for access to St Croix Vineyard and Thor's Apple Cider. We had our grand pup with us and dogs are very welcome here. I'm not a hard cider girls so I wasn't sure what to order. The bartender helped me through that and I opted for a more dry option with hints of cranapple. It was delicious. Very refreshing after an hour of hiking at Afton State Park. I also highly recommend the apple salsa. It would be nice if it came with homemade chips but, even so, the homemade salsa was unique and delicious! Loved this place. Can't wait to go back. I also bought a bottle of rose wine from the vineyard on my way out.
It was empty when I visited on New Years Even weekend. Staff was friendly. We just got done with a private sauna experience that is offered in the same main lot and it was fun to pop in and see what was here. If you like honey sticks you can find MANY specialty varieties here. Apple salsa, apple jam, maple syrup (if it is midwest it is here). Hard cider flights (paid $20 for one flight and that was plenty for the two of us). (THOR'S HARD CIDER) They had holiday deals going on too. Favorite cider we went home with was winter solstice and semi sweet (the original) very smooth and simple. I would recommend to my friends to stop in if they are going down to Stillwater for sure.
It is strange going to an apple farm and not being able to collect your own apples but that's how it is here. You just go in the store and purchase. It's a very simple farm. There is a playground area setup for the kids by Rainbow playground. The truck takes the kids for a ride around the farm. You need to purchase a ticket. The store sells apples, fresh cider, pies and such. There is a food truck for food and a cider station. I have been to a few places before where they actually show you how fresh cider is made. That would have been a great experience. Or offer apple baking classes. But these are not offered here. It's very very simple. We just came to support a friend who was working.
On the way to Stillwater We decided to stop by for some ciders drinks. It's been years since I was last here. When my kids Was little and did some photo shoots There was a one person singer artist playing their acoustic songs. It was perfect day to spent the afternoon and pick some apples. The vineyard/apple orchard is a cute place for even a picnic but outside foods is not allowed. read more

Great for meeting large groups, a wine/cider tasting with friends or a family trip! It does get busy in peak season, so be prepared. We got their pretty close to opening and didn't have to wait on lines at all. There are tons of baked goods and cider you can take home. IF you want to pick your own apples, you can do that too. The tap room is nice, and if you can get a spot on the porch, great! But you can also take your wine or cider flight to a bench. read more

Very family and dog friendly place! Service was great and they have an expansive parking lot that is free. We enjoyed the Thor's Hard Cider flight, it was a great way to try the different flavors of cider that they offer. We also had the apple brats for lunch which were really good. We walked around the orchard, went in the shop, and got apple cider donuts. Highly recommend Aamodt's if you are looking for a cute fall date spot! read more
STOP!!! Why we have never been here before today I will never know! Thors is in Ammodts apple orchard which is amazing itself. Today we finally stopped by with our pub pass and we loved everything about it. The outdoor area is HUGE. Plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy while sipping on your cider. The guy pouring the drinks was SO friendly and helpful. My Husband got Ginger Fizz and I got the Norse Berry. They were very tasty and not nasty at all!!!! We also got apple donuts to take home. Beautiful grounds and wonderful drinks. They also have a small concession stand with apple brats etc! read more

The brats this year tasted like puke not really sure where the apple flavor went.. There was also an odd "old fashioned" statue in the barn that seemed unusual to say the least. read more
If you want to find an amazing apple orchard look no further. Aamodts Apple Farm has so much family friendly activities. My favorite part is that it is attached to St.Croix Vineyards so you get double the fun! Parking is so easy in between all the apple trees you will always find a spot. They have so much seating outside and food trucks with apple brats and kettle corn. I loved the hard cider flights with my favorite being the jalapeño cider. You can also have wine by the glass or mulled wine in fall. They have a hayride through the apple orchard and wine vineyards and a smaller fun ride for the younger kids with petting zoo. I loved the store that had homemade jam, turnovers, apple cider and my favorite - caramel apples! read more

My husband and I brought our two kiddos here on a Saturday afternoon. Parking was a bit chaotic. There were a ton of people and there is t an actual parking lot. You just kinda park in the grass wherever you can fit. There is a lot more parking near the "exit" (which you can also enter from). When you walk towards the main area, there are two buildings to the left and a couple stands to the right. On the left is St. Croix winery. We sampled their reds for $14. Also to the left is the store. The store has already picked apples for sale plus baked goods and some seasonal wares. To the right is a wine stand and Thor's Hard Cider. We got the $20 sample. You get some good pours with these. They were excellent! We really all but one of the samples. There's also a playground and tractor ride(need a ticket). There isn't much for seating. Most people just say on the ground, so I recommend bringing a picnic blanket. The atmosphere is chill and beautiful. As of now, pick your own is only M-F. Since we came in a Saturday, we just bought the already picked which were delicious! We will definitely come back here. It's fun for the kids but also the adults! read more

They no longer have the brat I was drooling all over in previous reviews. Due to COVID, they serve you a naked brat. You can get a side of sauerkraut served in a plastic container. Busy place on the weekend with a lot of fur babies (dogs). read more

What a beautiful space! I stopped by about an hour before close to check off another spot on our Sidewalk Dog passport. This one is local for me, so I saved it for a spontaneous trip. It was a gorgeous day for it! I got the Norse Berry. It was sweet but not cloying, an amazing cider! What really won me over was the ability to freely meander the vineyard and orchard. What gift to this area! On my way out, I picked up a caramel apple, some salted caramel apple cookies (OMG), and a bag of first kiss apples. Prices are a little high (it came to $24 for 3 apples, 6 cookies, and 1 caramel apple) but the product is amazing. Those cookies are my new favorite cookies. read more
Went as a group of 3 when apple picking season was over but we still had loads of fun. It's a great spot for those fall photos, but there is also a food area with hard cider flights and wine to sample and share and food snacks such as brats, popcorn, chips and salsa, etc. and corn hole boards to play. The gift shop is cute with the usual goodies you would find at an orchard- jams, pastries, apples etc. They also had a goat petting zoo and train ride for the kids. read more

Thank you Aamodt's for the wonderful pick-your-own apples adventure! Our toddler had the best time-she kept all of us adults busy in the orchard! We bought the $20 bag to fill-that's a lot of apples to a little one! We enjoyed the apple brats and fresh apple cider after our picking fun! read more

It's "fall" in Minnesota, whatever that means, and it's time to head to the apple orchard! It was an unseasonably cool day, so we didn't spend much time outside or pick any apples. We did, however, pay our $3 for a quick little hayride, and then made our way to the barn for some hot apple cider. The cider was ridiculously good. The place was packed so it made for some tricky maneuvering, but we still managed to get in on the apple sampling and purchase our other goodies. I grabbed some apple cider donuts and we browsed the wine selection at St. Croix--sampling is $6. There are brats, kettle corn, hard cider, and other wonders to be found at Aamodt's. There's even a fire pit where you can have a quick warm up or sit and sip your beverages. read more

I couldn't wait to try this place out and was intent on waiting until the end of October to do so (my birthday), but curiosity got the better of me! It was a gorgeous sunny day to check this orchard out. Only a 33-min drive from Minneapolis. Plenty of parking and dogs are allowed, which I really appreciated since our pouch needed a bit of exercise! Thor's Hard Cider is located on the premises, as well as St. Croix Vineyard. In nice weather, there are tents outside serving cider and wine. We tried the cranberry and ginger flavors of Thor's. The cranberry came in a large bottle, which was served with a cup. Both were decent - not the most creative flavors but very refreshing on a sunny fall afternoon. You can also walk around the orchard with drinks, and there isn't a fee to enter like at other orchards. The gift shop has a nice variety of apples, souvenirs and of course, a cute little bakery counter where you can order apple cinnamon donuts - will have to go back to try these! There are also goats and a hayride comes through every 15 mins or so. We noticed little kids on an adorable tractor "train" ride too. Very cute orchard with lots to do and explore! read more
