Before you go

A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Minnesota.

  • Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
  • Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
  • Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
  • Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Lovely people! Lots of pigs to look at, as they eat apples, and they have a small store, but overall they sell wholesale. We went with the intention to pick apples, but that's not really offered. You can buy bags of apples, cider beer, honey and other items... But no apple picking!”

“Me and my Girlfriend stopped by the other day just to spend some time. Hoch Orchard did not disappoint! The lady there was very nice and let us try samples of everything. We got to feed little piggies apples too. Definitely going back next year.”
