Fireside Orchard and Gardens

Welcome to Fireside Orchard and Gardens, a cherished family-friendly apple orchard nestled in Northfield, Minnesota, just a short drive from the Twin Cities metro area. Since our founding in 1971, we've been dedicated to cultivating a variety of apples renowned for their quality and flavor. Here at our orchard, you can find 27 of Minnesota's favorite apple varieties, including Honeycrisp, SweeTango, Zestar!, Haralson, and our signature Fireside, alongside popular choices such as Cortland, Regent, Keepsake, and McIntosh. Our apples are harvested with care to ensure tree-ripened freshness and delicious taste, creating memorable experiences for all who visit.

Our commitment extends beyond growing exceptional apples. We strive to provide an inviting environment for families to enjoy. Wander through our beautiful rose gardens and enjoy the serenity of our koi pond. Whether you're relaxing in our gazebo under the gentle sun or engaging in yard games on the south lawn, there's something here for everyone to enjoy.

Although we're currently closed for the 2024 season, we remain grateful to our patrons and friends for their continued support. Should you have any inquiries during the off-season, please feel free to reach out to us. We anticipate seeing you back when the season reopens, where you'll find our grounds lush and our apples just as delightful as ever.
