Poor customer service! We booked a wedding to be catered (and secured the date with a deposit)…read more We received the catering menu options by email - 2 attachments were email showing options and pricing. When we contacted both the catering manager and the owner, to discuss the details of the food we wanted, we were told one of the menus they provided was not an option. (The menu that we wanted to use). The owner was extremely unprofessional. She openly admitted she had made a mistake by sending the menu and "learned her lesson". When I then asked about using my deposit toward salads for the wedding, grooms supper or if I could use it for a future graduation party, I was rudely told NO. AND she would not reimburse my deposit, even tho she admitted that she was at fault. They handled this situation unprofessionally and in a rude manner. I would never trust Tutti Fruitti for a catering event.

You'll pay 10X as much at the average grocery store compared to Batts Apple Orchard. I've been coming here since I was a little kid and the orchard has only gotten bigger and better. -Justin H

Great Orchard. They have a variety of apples including honey crisp and fireside! You can pick…read morethem yourself or they have apples ready to go. It is a beautiful orchard and an excellent option if you are in central minnesota or the Brainerd area. Super family friendly. Only downside is that they are only open weekends during the apple season (not that I have time to go during the week anyway).

All were very good, but fairly dry. A beautiful newly renovated old barn has been turned into this new attraction here. We went for the first time on a chilly Saturday in November, so my only suggestion would be to add either a fireplace or a pot bellied stove in there, as there was no heat and drinking cold cider it was a bit chilly! But a great concept!!

She was extremely rude when all she had to do is come up politely and say "sir, you can't pick from that tree but these ones you can". Honestly it was distrusting how she treated him. One person kinda ruined it for us coming back.

For more than 30 years, we've been traveling to my wife's hometown of Alexandria, Minnesota to…read morevisit family. "Alex", as it is known to the local community, is in the heart of Minnesota's beautiful Lake Region two hours northwest of the Twin Cities. This area serves as a very popular summer vacation destination as Midwesterners flock to the area for recreation on the state's 10,000 beautiful freshwater lakes. As a city-kid, I affectionately call this area the "boonies" as I ponder it's location less than 90 miles from the border of North Dakota! One of the simple summer pleasures in life up here in the northern plains is what I consider the world's best sweet corn. It is picked fresh daily at the local farms and is sold out of the beds of mid-century, medium-duty pickup trucks. Hoffman's sells their sweet corn out of a green, late 1940s REO truck at the corner of Nokomis and 3rd Ave. You can't miss it! The stand was managed today by an affable 20-something female college student who personified this state's "Minnesota-nice" reputation. I purchased two dozen ears and qualified for a 3rd dozen free...so we'll be happily enjoying sweet corn all week! When vacationing in the area, Hoffman's can't be beat for some of the very best sun-sweetened Minnesota corn-on-the-cob that I've ever had. Five stars down to the last kernel.
