Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard

Although not my first choice for a date, Melanie runs a close second - the first is yet to be determined.  We set out for MN Harvest Apple Orchard near Jordan, MN along old HWY 169 to spend a glorious afternoon among horses, apple dumplings and even (at the risk of sounding naughty for mentioning it) men in cowboy hats and Levi's.  Ain't nuthin' wrong with that.

We've visited a couple different apple orchards, but MN Harvest is by far my favorite.  It's set in the MN River Valley and is home to dozens of horses, trails, vintage barns, a petting zoo, and 53 varieties of apples that you can pick yourself, or buy pre-picked.

We didn't try out the Corn Maze or Trail Ride, but I know some folks who are very interested in doing just that, so I may be forced to go back out to MN Harvest and have some more fun.

MN Harvest is a great place for a family to spend a day if you're on a modest budget.  There is no charge to visit the animals (except for the petting zoo) and some of them will even smile at the camera for you.  Sweet.

Now, this is the life.
