Ferguson's Minnesota Harvest

Our take

The short version

Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest in Jordan is built around scale: a confirmed August 15 to November 1, 2026 season — one of the longest stated windows in this research — a flat $18 general admission, and a long list of large-scale fall attractions from duck races to apple cannons. It’s the Jordan location of the Ferguson family’s Minnesota Harvest brand, separate from the family’s seasonal storefront in Lake City covered elsewhere. If you’re picturing a quiet u-pick morning, this probably isn’t it; if you want a full day of organized fall entertainment with apple picking built in, it fits well.

An unusually long, dated season

The orchard’s own site states the 2026 season runs from August 15 through November 1 — a specific, dated confirmation rather than a general seasonal description. That’s a genuinely long window compared to several other Minnesota orchards in this batch, many of which either don’t post dated ranges at all or run shorter windows concentrated in September and October. If your fall plans are flexible, this length of season gives you more room to pick a date around weather or crowds.

One admission price, most attractions included

General admission runs $18 per person and covers the corn maze, petting zoo, wagon rides, and most of the property’s attractions, according to the record. Pick-your-own apples are priced separately from that gate fee — so budget for both the entry price and whatever fruit you take home. Hours differ slightly by day: 10am to 6pm on weekdays, and an earlier 9:30am start on weekends.

Three confirmed pick-your-own varieties, a bigger overall list

For pick-your-own specifically, the record names Honeycrisp, SweeTango, and Zestar. The property separately markets “50+ Varieties” as a tag, which almost certainly reflects the broader orchard’s total plantings rather than what’s necessarily ready to pick on any given visit. Zestar tends to ripen earliest of the three, with Honeycrisp and SweeTango following through the season — worth keeping in mind if you’re timing a trip around a specific apple.

Built for big groups and big attractions

The activities list here is long and festival-oriented: corn maze, petting zoo, wagon rides, a corn pit, duck races, apple cannons, a pumpkin patch, and a cow train. Per the research notes, this property leans heavily into large-scale fall entertainment layered on top of the pick-your-own rows, reading more like a fall festival destination than a traditional quiet orchard visit. That’s a real distinction worth weighing if your group’s preference runs toward one or the other.

No confirmed phone number or exact apple pricing

Two gaps stand out in the record. First, no phone number was found on the pages fetched from the orchard’s own site — if you need to call ahead, you may need to search the site directly or use a general contact form. Second, while the $18 general admission is confirmed, the actual per-pound or per-bag price for pick-your-own apples isn’t listed, so treat that as a cost to confirm on arrival rather than something you can budget precisely in advance.

Distinct from the Lake City location

It’s worth being clear about this: this is the Jordan property specifically, part of the Ferguson family’s broader Minnesota Harvest brand. A separate, seasonal Ferguson’s storefront tied to the historic Pepin Heights operation exists in Lake City and is covered as its own record — don’t assume hours, pricing, or activities carry over between the two.

Getting there

Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest is at 8251 Old Highway 169 Blvd in Jordan, Scott County, in the Twin Cities Southwest Metro region. Coordinates on file are an approximate area estimate, not individually geocoded.

Bottom line

This is a scale-and-entertainment pick more than a quiet-orchard pick, with a confirmed long season and a clear flat admission price. The main gaps — no listed phone number and unconfirmed pick-your-own apple pricing — are worth resolving through the orchard’s own site before you go, especially if a specific apple variety or exact cost matters to your plans.
