We use the latest in Integrated Pest Management Practices (IPM) to care for our 28 varieties of apples grown at Southwind Orchards. We believe our maintenance and culture practice we use in our care for our tree ripe apples put us in the top rated growers of Minnesota. When you hear the crunch of your first bite from our juice ripe apples we know you will agree -Mmmm…- so good.
