Practices

Collegeville Orchards focuses on seasonal activities and direct-to-consumer sales. They offer pick-your-own apples from Labor Day through October, pre-picked pumpkins starting late September, and a petting zoo with goats, sheep, alpacas, and other animals. Wagon rides, pumpkin painting, and retail sales of apples, pumpkins, antiques, and crafts are available.

Offerings

The orchard sells over 20 apple varieties by the 1/3 peck, 1/2 peck, 1/2 bushel, and bushel. Pumpkins include mini, pie, and jack-o-lantern sizes, available through October. Store items range from fresh produce to fall decorations and antiques. Seasonal activities like wagon rides ($3/person) and pumpkin painting ($4 with a small pumpkin) add to the experience.

Visiting

Located in the Collegeville Hills near St. Cloud, the orchard is 2 miles from St. John's University walking trails. Open daily for apple picking and store visits, with pumpkin patch access starting late September. The petting zoo and wagon rides operate during store hours, and pumpkin painting is available weekends and by request.
