prices vary by apple variety
Country Blossom Farm is the westernmost orchard covered in this research batch, serving the Alexandria lakes region of west-central Minnesota — well outside the usual Twin Cities and southeastern-bluff-country clusters most other records in this project fall into. It grows 13 named apple varieties overall (six confirmed by name here) and pairs u-pick apples with strawberries, raspberries, and a farm-to-table bakery, reading more like a multi-season destination than a single-crop stop.
Per the research notes, Country Blossom Farm sits well outside the geographic clusters that dominate this research — it’s the westernmost orchard covered, serving the Alexandria lakes area rather than the Twin Cities metro or the Mississippi River bluff country to the southeast. If you live in or are visiting west-central Minnesota, this fills a real gap that the metro-focused orchards can’t.
The record names SweeTango, Honeycrisp, Zestar, Sweet Sixteen, Fireside, and Haralson specifically, while the farm’s own tagging references 13 varieties overall — meaning roughly half the total planting isn’t individually confirmed here. The six that are named span a reasonable range: Zestar and SweeTango tend to ripen earlier, while Fireside and Haralson typically hold later into the season.
Beyond apples, the record lists a corn maze, u-pick strawberries, u-pick raspberries, and a farm-to-table bakery. Per the research notes, this reads more like a multi-season destination than a single-crop apple orchard — strawberries would come earlier in the summer, apples and raspberries later, with the bakery presumably operating across that whole stretch. If you’re the kind of visitor who likes returning to the same farm across different points in the growing season, that structure supports it.
The orchard’s own produce page confirms hours of 11am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday only — no weekday hours are listed. Season timing is described in general terms: apples running from “early September” through “late October,” rather than a dated 2026 announcement. That’s useful as a planning guide but not a substitute for confirming a specific date, especially since weekend-only access means missing a Saturday or Sunday could mean waiting a full week for another chance.
Rather than a fixed per-pound or per-bag price, the record notes that pricing varies by apple variety. That’s a real, if slightly frustrating, gap if you’re trying to budget precisely in advance — it suggests some varieties may cost more than others, likely tied to relative rarity or picking difficulty, but no specific numbers are given.
No cider mill or cider donuts are confirmed in the record. Admission pricing beyond the apple-cost note isn’t specified either. Given the address itself comes from a Yelp listing rather than the orchard’s own site, it’s worth double-checking the exact address against GPS or a call before making the drive, particularly given how far west this property sits relative to other Minnesota orchards.
Country Blossom Farm is at 1951 Englund Road SW in Alexandria, Douglas County, in west-central Minnesota’s lakes region. Coordinates on file are an approximate area estimate, not individually geocoded.
Country Blossom Farm is a genuinely useful pick if you’re in west-central Minnesota rather than the Twin Cities metro, offering a real multi-crop, multi-season destination. The tradeoffs are a weekend-only schedule and variety-dependent pricing without specific numbers — a call to 320-334-1620 can fill in both before you plan your trip.
