Are you a freak for Firesides? Crazy about Cortlands?

You can purchase apples from a changing inventory of 50 varieties throughout the season – from long-time favorites to recent University of Minnesota introductions, including Minnesota’s new State Fruit, the Honeycrisp! Proceeds benefit the University of Minnesota’s apple research program. The AppleHouse is located 1 mile west of the Arboretum in Chanhassen on State Highway 5 and Rolling Acres Road.

For a daily update of available apple varieties call the AppleHouse Hotline at 952-443-1409.
