He asked if I was from Faribault and when I mentioned I was there for an interview he was really encouraging which actually meant a lot. The place itself has such a cozy small-town feel. It wasn't busy yet since I got there around 9 a.m. so it was nice and peaceful. The decor is adorable and they also have a fun little grab-and-go/shop area with things like soaps, kids items, snacks, and random cute finds to browse while waiting. Food was hot, good, and affordable too. I got the Chicken Fried Steak and a Monte Cristo sandwich. Then of course I somehow left with a slice of cake AND another meal because one of the workers pointed at it and said it was really good. Zero regrets honestly. Definitely the kind of place that just feels welcoming the second you walk in.

My mom suggested we go to Janna's for a late breakfast. What a nice all around dining experience. I…read moreordered the Patty Melt and others ordered the classic breakfast, biscuits and gravy, and cinnamon roll. All the food was delivered perfectly and was delicious. The Texas toast on my Patty Melt was excellent with great sauce as well. Coffee was reasonably priced at $2.5 per cup and was extra hot with various choices of cream and flavored cream. Bonus, they offer free refill on coffee! You go Janna! Thanks for being tasty and customer friendly. I recommend you give Janna's Market Grill a try for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or to go order.

It's getting to be late October and I still hadn't bought my bag of Haralson Apples so in my quest…read moreto find some, I headed toward Northfield to the Fireside Orchard. On a weekday afternoon, it was mostly folks like me, out to buy a few fresh items. I could see the weekends being busier with families. The orchard has nice grounds to amble through, some tractors to climb and pose with, wagons to borrow, and a beautiful outdoor seating area. I found my apples and also picked up some honey. There were also jams, cheese, apple sauce, salsas, coffee, and wild rice options. Freshly baked goods and hot and cold apple cider were fall favorites as well. The orchard is only a short drive off the freeway so stop in and check it out.

We had ordered a tasting kit which had a large variety of food and drinks to try! We had the Cider Tasting Kit with additional add ons, such as the, Apple Tasting Kit, Heirloom Apple Tasting Kit, Odenthal's Jalapeno and Cheddar Beef Sticks, Shepherd's Way Friesago Cheese, Sweetland Orchard Cider Donuts, Sweatband Orchard Farm Bread Picnic Loaf, and the Vikings and Goddesses Apple Carmel Hand Pie's. Kits are available if you place your order at lease 12 hours in advance. If you do not order a kit, there are items available for purchase as well. You are free to roam to roam the orchard and enjoy all there is to offer. The setting was just the perfect spot for fall, with colored trees around and rolling hills. We brought our kit our to the orchard and had a picnic. We brought a quilt to sit on (there are some picnic tables available, but it is probably wise to bring a quilt to lay down to sit on just in case there are no tables available). Everything was incredibly delicious and I am planning to get back there again soon! It is dog friendly! I love when places allow dogs, it is but probably best to bring your dog only if it will not disrupt other guests or the animals that are on site (chickens, pigs, etc.).

Brand Farms really is a one-stop shop for fall fun! It gets quite crowded during the weekends but…read morethere is plenty of free parking after going down the gravel road leading up to the farm. There were attendants gesturing where to park which was helpful. After parking, there's a small shopping area where you can purchase baking and dip mixes, meat, eggs, jams, honey, and more. This is also where you can purchase empty bags for apple picking. You can pay with credit card or cash here. I tried the maple syrup breakfast sausage links and they were delicious, but definitely on the sweeter side. There is also a food truck where you can get apple cider donuts, and there were baby cows to see too! After exiting the shopping area, you can ride a wagon with straw bales over to the other area of the farm, or you can walk. It's a bit of a hike so I would recommend riding the wagon. The next area has so many activities: pumpkin patch, apple picking, paintball shooting, bouncy mats for children, and other little games and activities for children. There were so many photo spots as well. My favorite activity was the apple cannon, where you can pay $5 (cash, credit card, or venmo) for a bucket of apples, load them into a cannon, and blast them into old cars. The cannon is SUPER loud so bring ear plugs or ear protection -- my ears still hurt a little bit the next day. There was also live music and a couple food stands selling items such as apple cider and walking tacos. If you walk a little further you'll reach rows and rows of apple trees, sorted by type with clear signage. There were a handful of varieties to choose from, such as honeycrisp, sweet tango, sno-sweet, and crab apples. There were a lot of bees and mushed apples on the ground so I would wear appropriate clothing and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dirty.

We bought tickets online in advance, but there was no sign for online sales. Then once we finally found the right line there's only one iPad so the guy had to walk away to get it to scan our tickets. Once you get out of the main area (we ended up walking because only two trackers were going and the line was super long) it was good. We liked the lower area but the front was a total mess and took way more time than it needed to. Pretty disappointed. Hopefully they can fix the front area before next season. Also, there were SO many bees.

This store still had some holiday clearance. Cashier was nice and she needed to call for back up as it got busy. You pay and then bag or in my case put items in new laundry basket, at a separate counter. Aldi saves by not hiring people to rustle carts in the parking lot. Bring your cart back to corral and get your quarter back or give cart to a new customer if you are generous. The store is a couple of years old and still fairly clean. A plus is Hawaii Poke Bowls is nearby.
