Experience the Orchard & Flower Farm
Pick apples. Gather flowers. Make memories.
Rooted in Family & Minnesota Soil
Since 1985, Gilchrist Orchard has been more than a place to pick apples — it’s where families gather, memories are made, and God’s creation is celebrated. We do our best to steward the land He’s entrusted to us with care — using holistic, glyphosate-free practices, keeping our orchard pollinator-friendly, and growing food that nourishes both body and soul.
Apple Orchard
Fresh, hand-picked apples grown with care on the land God’s entrusted to us here in Minnesota. Rooted in family tradition and guided by faith, our orchard brings the beauty of each season from His creation straight to your table.
U-Pick Flowers
Our U-Pick Flower Farm is bursting with God’s beauty in every season. From vibrant zinnias to delicate blooms, it’s a place to slow down, breathe deep, and marvel at the colors He’s painted across the field. Gather joy, gather peace, and take a little bit of His creation home with you.
Seasonal Highlights
Our orchard and flower farm are open by reservation for a peaceful, family-centered experience. We believe in caring for the land God’s given us through organic methods, holistic stewardship, and regenerative practices. Every choice we make — from staying glyphosate-free to keeping our fields pollinator-friendly — is about honoring Him and producing fruit, flowers, and community that thrive.
Why We Grow
Rooted in family, faith, and Minnesota soil, Gilchrist Orchard has been growing apples since 1985 with a heart to honor God through the way we care for His land and the people we serve. We choose holistic, organic practices because what we grow is what we feed our own family. Our mission is simple: to share harvests that are honest, healthy, and full of the goodness only He can provide through the orchard.
Book Your Visit
Each season brings something new from God’s creation — from crisp apples and fresh-pressed cider to fields bursting with flowers. We can’t wait to welcome you, slow down together, and share the harvest He’s blessed us with.
