“My wife and I had an amazing experience here last weekend. We pulled in right after they had closed and one of the owners graciously spent about hour telling us about his life, family, apples, and organic farming. It was really fascinating to learn more about the benefits of organic farming and how there is so much product lost to bugs but how much tastier and healthier the apples are when they're grown how nature intended. We were fortunate enough to come at the peak end of season where the apples were falling off of the trees. They were the best apples I've ever eaten in my life. We picked picked sweet tango and zestar apples. They are hyrid varieties that are developed by the University of Minnesota. Seriously, the zestar was the best apple I've ever eaten. Visiting Fruit Acres Apple Orchard was an incredible experience and would highly recommend anyone visiting and picking some of these incredible apples.”
“We had the best experience at Fruit Acres. The scenery is absolutely beautiful with amazing views of the river bluffs. The drive to the orchard is incredibly scenic as well. The orchard is welcoming and quaint and the staff were all so kind. They went above and beyond and were all so helpful and welcoming. The apples were so delicious and abundant. Overall a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend to anyone.”
“We went for u-pick apples and didn't realize we had the opening time wrong. They still let us come in to pick and were so kind! Our entire family had so much fun picking! We made lots of delicious apple sauce, juice, cider and have plenty to make some crisp and fresh eating. We live over an hour away and stopped by chance but we plan to go back in the future!”
“Great orchard if you want to get away from the crowd! Beautiful scenery, friendly people, and lots of apples. Definitely will be making a trip yearly.”
“Very friendly and even gave us a free, ice cold apple to sample. The caramels are delicious. Apples scrumptious!! If you are close, worth a trip.”
“Loved that we could pick our own”
