Since 2014, an apple a day…
Apple Orchard Reality.
Dream it.
In May of 2014, brothers Rick and Steve Blauert, along with their wives Tina and Shelly, planted the first 25 apple trees on the 3 generation family farm. As their interest continued to grow, they attended classes and visited a number of orchards throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin to collect information to make the idea for their orchard a reality.
Build it.
The spring of 2018, the Blauerts recruited the help of family in raising an 8’ fence to keep out all of the neighboring wildlife and planted their first 200 high density apple trees in the south orchard.
Grow it.
The summer of 2021 the orchard opened and is home to over 950 apple trees. Varieties include Honeycrisp, Zestar!™, Sweet Sixteen, SweeTango®, First Kiss®, Fireside, and Haralson. As Toad Lake Apple Orchard continues to grow, they look forward to sharing a place where you can come for the day and enjoy the outdoors and fun, fall activities with your friends and family.
