Raw apple cider $7/half gallon - SOLD OUT in four days this week. Looking to do another pressing this weekend - watch facebook for updates, or contact us directly. We try to keep this in stock as much as possible, but would rather run out then waste plastic jugs (and we have to find time for pressing, lol).

Today and tomorrow are the final days to get in on our week 4 and grand prize drawings! Each bag of apples purchased at our farm store gets you an entry. Sunday we will draw for the week 4 winner, then throw all the entries together to find out who the winner is of an ARF hat and gift certificate!

Where to get our apples

ARF farm store, Saturday Mankato Farmers Market 8-12 Best Buy Lot, New Ulm Community Market and Co-op, Natures Pantry Farm, Wysiwyg Juice Co. (in their amazing juices!).

Other farm store offerings: tomatoes, onions, garlic, potatoes, eggs, apple butter, applesauce, apple rings (as available), raw apple cider (as available).

Week #2 of Drawings!

Weekly Drawings Through September 13!

---

We are celebrating our one year anniversary of our farm store, and the beginning of apple season, with four weeks of drawings, plus a final drawing at the end.

Every 3lb bag of apples purchased at our farm store gives you one entry into the drawing with that week, as well as for the grand prize drawing.

Each weekly drawing will be done on Sundays - win a free bag of apples, applesauce, etc. On September 13 we will do the grand prize drawing, where two winners will win either a new ARF hat or a $15 gift certificate!

Stop out to the farm Monday-Friday 9:00-7:00 or Saturday 9:00-1:00.

Enjoy this delicious Minnesota apple season!!
