A is for aromatic, antique apples!

Firesides are an heirloom fruit introduced by the University of Minnesota Agricultural experiment station in 1943.

Although they aren’t the prettiest of apples and exhibit quite a bit of color variation, they make up for it by loving MN’s cold winters, and they thrive under our certified organic orchard management.

Come pick your own this Saturday and Sunday at Fruit Acres 🍎🍎

You can expect crisp, juicy, denser, greenish-white flesh that offers a mild and balanced sweet-tart flavor with subtle spicy pear tones.

Kept in the fridge, they store well for up to 6 months and retain their desirable characteristics in storage.

Fruit Acres is a third-generation family farm overlooking the Mississippi River. We strive to make our farm’s ecosystem better with each farming decision we make. In addition to growing certified organic fruit, we aim to increase pollinator habitat, teach our community about organic farming practices, and more. We’d love to see you up at the orchard!

PICK YOUR OWN certified organic apples at Fruit Acres this weekend:

Saturday and Sunday 12-4.

We’re opening up one of our absolute favorite pick your own blocks this weekend, the Cortlands and Firesides.

These are all the way in the back. Drive past the deer fences, the windmill, the big hay field and the pines and look for signs!

Every farming decision we make considers sustainability and environmental impact, and we work closely with our organic certifiers to make the best decisions we can. These apples have the last of some food grade clay on them because it makes insect pests ignore them and allows us to avoid (certified organic) sprays to deter insects. The clay washes right off.

A bushel of potatoes and heirloom shell beans. If I could only grow a handful of things in my garden both of these would be on the list along with sage, tomatoes, walking (perennial) onions and turnip greens. Easy, productive, delicious.
