In October, the orchards team up for the St. Croix Valley Apple Fest. The St. Croix River Valley Apple Fest is held at area apple orchards. Enjoy apple picking, crafts, corn mazes, hayrides and more! At many of the orchards you can pick-your-own apples, berries and pumpkins or you can purchase them already picked. Some of the orchards offer hayrides, corn mazes, crafts live animals and other fun family activities.
