Our family has been growing apples, pumpkins and squash for more than 25 years. Apples are carefully picked, washed, sorted by size and quality, boxed, and then stored in our walk-in cooler. We grow the newer MN varieties such as Honeycrisp, Sweetango, First Kiss and others favorites. We use an Integrated Pest Management System to reduce pesticide use.

Insurance

$1 million – 1.9 million

Distribution

We wash our apples in our packing room sell them by volume in bushel or 1/2 bushel boxes. We provide free local delivery and can deliver free to multiple schools in the same district or multiple locations for small businesses.

Business Experience

We have been providing apples and squash to local schools and institutions for about 10 years. Our first plantings were in 1996. We can supply smaller wholesale quantities if needed.
