Contrary it's every reason why we enjoyed it. Highlights include: dog friendly, nice parking, friendly staff, proficient store with basic items such as honey, caramel, chocolate covered cherries, plush dog toys, coloring books, apples, etc. Outside you will find a pumpkin patch, goats and even a DJ with a dance floor. If you have kids, this is a great outing for the family. My group walked our dogs around the space, split come apple cider donuts and snapped a few pics by some of the fall decor. Notes: dogs are not allowed in the gift shop and there is a food stand that serves hot dogs, cider, chips and apple cider donuts. We did not see any alcohol onsite.

If you have not had a chance to visit Rusty Bucket Acres, you MUST put it on your Bucket list (pun…read moreintended. LOL). Whether you live in Stillwater, MN, or live in Seattle, Washington - a visit to RBA is a must. The moment you drive up to RBA, you know that you are in for an experience to remember. Lorna and Shelly greet you with big smiles, positive energy and true joy in sharing the amazing animal sanctuary they have worked hard to build, grow, and maintain. The animals are the true stars on this farm. Each one of them has a gift just waiting to be shared. Maybe it is a hug from Zeke (one of the mini donkeys), or for you to kick back and lay on Dave (the mini cow) or let Kenny (one of the goats) snuggle up against you - you will be loved. These animals can pick up on how you are feeling, and they offer the healing capabilities they have to offer. Pull up a mat in the pasture and just let yourself relax. I have had the honor of volunteering AND visiting the farm multiple times and every time is a new experience. I'm so thankful to live close enough to visit as often as I would like. Make sure RBA is on your list too! Tips for when you visit: 1. Dress for a visit to a farm with LIVE ANIMALS: Know you will be licked, rubbed up against, sat on and loved on by animals. You will get dirty, and it is fantastic! 2. Don't be afraid of the animals: These animals are worked with every day, and they know you are there to learn and love. Let yourself love on them - let them love on you. 3. Help keep the farm up and running: It is not mandatory to donate, but I strongly encourage to do so. Whether it is $10 or $100, every dollar is spent to keep this sanctuary available for others to experience. If you can't give money, they also love when people want to come and volunteer. 4. Most importantly - have fun! It is an experience you will always remember!

They will be offering a calendar of classes (which will include a visit with the animals) where you will be using items from the farm to make works of art! They are open to the public (must reserve a spot), will take donations to keep the farm running, and will do private events. They keep adding wonderful new animals (alpacas, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, a pig, a horse and the donkeys - I've probably forgotten some.) If you are in need of some respite and relaxation, you must try Rusty Bucket Acres - and bring the FAMILY!

Went to the orchard on a beautiful fall day and many people had the same idea. Overall, the things…read moreI liked is that they had a large selection of pick your own apples, a hayride to access those apples, one of the better petting zoos ive seen at similar places and a large playground that would do well for kids of all ages. The parts I didnt like is that even though the food selection was quite poor and the wait was even worse. I would definitely eat beforehand. Also I dont know if it was just the year, but even thoygh most of the apples were pretty tasty, some of the apples were mealy, even straight from the tree.

The concessions options were a bit underwhelming and we ended up waiting in line for an hour for a hotdog and walking taco. I did enjoy the hay ride which took us around the orchard to different areas to pick. I also appreciated the wide array of animals in the petting area. The country store had a good variety of treats and we ended up taking home some apple butter and apple cider. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon but I'm not sure if I would return to this particular orchard.

Woodbury is a nice and leafy and fairly affluent suburb directly east of St Paul and when you're leaving town on the highway you'll probably drive right through it like I always do. There's plenty of typical Suburban stuff here and lots of leafy homes and crescents and closes and Colby facts (I mean Cul-De-Sacs, but maybe you can totally learn about Colby here, because I certainly have no idea what it is but my voice dictation apparently does), for you to buy property and raise a family in. It gets insanely cold for about 87 months a year so if you can handle that it's really the only main problem with living around here.

We are a long time customer and have always had pleasant experiences but not this time. Picked our own corn by peeling back the topmost portion of the husk to check color and kernel size. Did this for approx. 4 corns and purchased & paid for a dozen. After paying and while removing the husks, male owner comes over with at least a dozen corn in his arms and accuses us of "ruining" them all - asking why did we peel all of them back and that no one would buy them now. I responded that we didn't peel all of the ones in his arms and pointed out the ones that we rejected and why. He then stormed away and placed the corn that was in his arms into the bin for selling. If there is a different way to pick out corn then checking the kernels and color, then he should have educated us on his technique vs. yelling and accusing us of ruining the corn. I'm a big proponent of supporting local businesses, especially our local farmers, but this is one farmer I will no longer support due to his poor behavior.

I truly wanted to try the pre-made foods. We walked in and the lights were dimmed. It felt more like I was walking into an art gallery than an Asian grocery store. No one shouting. No funky smells. The produce section was what I walked into first. I was met with 4 green onions, 2 onions, a bag of bean sprouts, and a few fruits but all the produce were all wilted. At least everything else was neatly organized. Then we went to the sauce area, then to the ramen, then to snacks and so forth. All the products were at least 25% or more, higher in price than what's available in the grocers in St. Paul. Yes, you're paying more for the ambiance. Make the drive over to the hundreds of other Asian grocery stores there. I don't even live close and I make the effort to do my big grocery shopping in St. Paul for the price and variety. Anyway, I didn't see any or much SE Asian grocery items that would help me cook my dishes. Most items were catered to East Asian cuisine. Their precooked food area was sad. The pre-cooked rice looked mushy. The breads were dried and flaky. Disappointed to say the least. As an Asian person, I wouldn't frequent the establishment even in desperate times.
