First time visiting Pine Tree Apple Orchard, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much there was…read moreto see and do! Upon arrival, I appreciated how much parking was available, especially considering how busy apple orchards can get during the fall season. They even had a parking attendant and police officer on-site helping direct traffic, which made the arrival process feel organized. Our first stop was the store, where they were letting visitors in by groups. Although there was a line, I thought they did a great job keeping things moving efficiently. Inside, there was a wonderful selection of apples, cider donuts, pies, turnovers, and apple cider. One thing I especially appreciated was the flexibility in purchasing baked goods. You could buy items individually or in packs of six or twelve, so you weren't committed to buying in bulk just to try something! We picked up some cider donuts and hot apple cider, which were perfect for a crisp October day. Another neat feature was being able to watch the conveyor belt where they sort the apples. I also learned that the orchard makes an effort to use everything and minimize waste, which made me appreciate their operations even more! One thing worth mentioning is that this is not a pick-your-own apple orchard. From what I learned, this is intentional to help protect the trees and maintain the health of the orchard for future harvests. While that might be disappointing for anyone hoping to pick their own apples, there are still plenty of activities to enjoy. Outside, there's a large pumpkin patch and a corn maze that costs just $4 per person. I thought the corn maze was well worth the price! It's fairly large and includes a fun scavenger hunt where you search for animals and letters to solve a riddle. If you complete it successfully, you earn a free apple! Such a fun activity to do with friends or family, and I loved that there was a little reward at the end. Despite visiting on a busy fall day, we never felt overly crowded or rushed while enjoying the activities. There were plenty of families with young children, and the entire orchard had such a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Another bonus is its proximity to White Bear Lake and several nearby restaurants. We were able to grab a bite to eat afterward, which made it easy to turn our orchard visit into a full afternoon outing. Overall, I had a wonderful first experience at Pine Tree Apple Orchard! Between the seasonal treats, reasonably priced activities, beautiful fall atmosphere, and convenient location, I'd absolutely return for another visit. A great way to spend a crisp Minnesota fall day!

They do not have pick your own apples and only offer a small tractor ride and limited times. There are no kid activities as you would see in other orchards and their prices are a little high.

Really a fun spot for easy but enjoyable fall-time fun. PARKING: the lot is often quite full in Fall but so far there's always been a spot! GROUNDS: well maintained especially for the number of people visiting WINE: really enjoyable and reasonably priced! BAKED GOODS: I absolutely love the apple cinnamon bagel (an objectively good bagel without the flavor but apple/cinnamon takes it over the top). The apple cider donuts are incredible as well.

Pumpkins? YES! Corn maze? YES!…read more Goats? YES! Not my first time exploring this wonderful pumpkin patch, and garden farm. They have a wonderful and wide variety of pumpkins, gourds, etc. You can pick out pumpkins close to parking or trek with a wagon to the pumpkin patch. We checked out the patch and found 2 pumpkins we liked but it was also towards the end of the pumpkin season so the pumpkin options in the patch are limited but great for photo ops. They also gave a corn maze (free) near the patch and it literally took us less than 8 minutes to get out. My husband and kiddo are QUICK! They have a handful of goats where if you bring quarters you can get food to feed them. We did a bunch and the goats were hungry! And there is a water pump nearby to wash your hands. They also have 1 donkey. Lots of amazing photo opportunities near the main store, greenhouses and barn. The barn was playing the Spookly pumpkin movie. The barn is very cool. Check it out. We spent $40 for our 3 nice sized pumpkins + long yellow gourd like pumpkin and 4 mini gourds. The pumpkins are a little pricey but it's all about the experience. Happy Autumn!

It's located in the scenic Scandia/Marine on St. Croix area on Manning Ave (15) just north of 4 almost 2 miles. This family owned roadside stand usually has signs to let you know what is available in season. There is enough parking for 10 or so cars just off the street. Whether it's fresh picked sweet corn, pumpkins, squash or other items the produce is either in wagons or set out on the ground for you to choose what you need. The prices are clearly listed and a lockbox allows you to pay for the items. Great idea, great produce and great prices! Love this place! Note for October 2017: We stopped by Saturday 10/13 the sweet corn is long gone for the season and and they were running out of pumpkins for the year. Squash and decorative gourds were still available. This area was hit with a Spring hail that damaged a lot of crops in the area including the nearby Berry Patch. This limited some availability this year.

This a top notch Farmer's Market, right up there with the Mercato Italiano in San Diego…read more Too many farmers markets are essentially entertainment for children with very few farmers selling very sparse fresh produce. The St Paul market had stuff for children, but it is a real farmers market with real farmers selling produce from their own farms. And it was a great selection of late summer products: sweet corn, tomatoes, sweet and spicey peppers, herbs, you name it. And there were a number of providers making breakfast dishes as well as a young woman singing her heart out. One of my haves was the poet at a manual typewriter composing and selling poems on demand. What a great idea! I got one for my sweetie. The market is under shed type roofing so it wasn't in the direct sun on a very hot day. It's a year-round market so don't miss it.

There are no dogs allowed in this market. There is often live music and there are also vendors selling breakfast sandwiches, tacos, Asian eats and everything in between. Being in Lowertown, it's mostly paid street parking. This is a MUST visit!! Saturdays and Sundays only.
