Minnesota's Premier Family Apple Orchard

Fun activities, beautiful flowers/sunflowers, nice people, great apple picking! Bonus: I called before their open hours and someone picked up the phone and answered my question almost immediately!!

Great place to take the kids/family! Great apples and market with salsa, cheese, beef sticks and other items. Hay rides, and animals.

This apple orchard was a lot of fun. You take a hayride to where the apples and pumpkins are. They also have food and games to entertain kids. They have a little maze in their sunflower patch. They also have an apple shooting gun. They have hay piles for kids to climb on. And it's not too far from the cities. Their apples were really good. They do a good job of allowing people to only pick the apples that are ripe.

Visiting Brand Farms has become an annual tradition for my family. The farmland is gorgeous and expansive. My kids love the hayride and activities, like the corn pit and climbing hay bales. There are also funny scarecrows and farm animals. The owners and staff are so friendly and seem genuinely happy to share their farm with the public. Unlike other apple orchards and pumpkin patches that have become increasingly commercialized, this feels like an authentic farm experience. It's affordable, too!

What a fun place to go and celebrate autumn! They have a fun hayride that takes you to some outdoor activities and pick your own apples. There's a field of sunflowers too. Nice variety of apples, jams, salsas, cheese curds, fresh eggs and honey too!

Loved this place for our kiddo's field trip! Pumpkin patch, apple picking, tractor hayride, giant pumpkin bouncy, apple cannons, hay bales to climb, and more! Highly recommend visiting for your fall fun! Also, their gift shop has amazing nummies, especially the honey butter and Abdallah caramel.

Went this past weekend with friends and a toddler and would highly recommend. They have a lot going for them. Great, affordable hayride past chickens and dairy cows to the pumpkin patch, sunflower field, apples, and food trucks. Beautiful land, great people, come support this fourth generation family farm. Apple Cider Slush was very good. Just wish they sold their cider so I could enjoy at home.

Awesome family farm! We got to pet calves, see lots of chickens, take a hayride out to the apple picking and pumpkin patch. Our hayride driver was hilarious and made the kids laugh. Reasonable prices for everything! We are excited to try the apple crisp, apple sausage links, and apple brats we purchased 🍎. Another plus is they accept cash, credit, or venmo. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you Brand Farms!

We had a great time here! Took the kids for apple picking and pumpkins. They loved the hay ride and it's much closer than some of them other orchards around the area.

We've been anxious to visit Brand Farms after seeing their farm stand reestablished on Akin Rd in Farmington. It's evident that this farm and the work they have put in to making it a fun family destination is a labor of love. So much thought and care has been put into the details including offering a signature treat, "The Brandelicious," setting up beautifully designed photo op stations and employing kind and friendly staff. We took the hayride to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard and played on the hay tower. One element that could have been made more clear is that you need to register for the hayride and pay for your bag for gathering apples prior to heading out to the orchard. I got in line with the other people there and figured this out by the time I checked out thru observing the people in front of me. Maybe it was posted somewhere and I just missed it. In the end, we left with pumpkins, a bursting bag of apples, a pie and caramel apples. But most important, we left with great memories! Can't wait to visit again soon!

Fresh apples, pies, delicious apple donuts with a hearty mini donut flavor, local farm fresh chicken roasters and ground beef (the best I've found locally!) Warm, family friendly atmosphere with gentle rescue dogs and baby calves to see and pet!! Love this family farm!!

Cute orchard! It is a quick drive for residents in the south metro! They have great items (ground beef, eggs, apples, pies, brats, sausages and whole chickens just to name a few) for sale at great prices...and you can't leave without the apple cider donuts...AMAZING

Had previously strong attachments to another orchard…but after visiting for the first time, we won't be going anywhere else! Apples are great, lots of fun activities our kids loved. Thanks for sharing your farm with us!

Extremely welcoming, and superb quality products including pastured eggs, apples, squash, and jarred items. Great fun for families.
