It's become a lovely tradition coming to Knapton's in the fall! They have such a great variety, friendly staff, and always a really great harvest! Will come over the summer to get raspberries, but we always make it a point to come in the fall for apple picking. Apple picking is one of my ultimate favorite fall activities, we went this past weekend hoping for some Honeycrisp apples, but they weren't quite ready yet which ended up being a blessing in disguise because we picked a bag full of sweet tango instead. Honeycrisp has always been my go to, but I think my new favorite is sweet tango because I love their little size. Usually, I can't finish a whole Honeycrisp on my own, but I'll find myself eating two or three sweet tangos in a day! My husband and I are obsessed, and we may be coming back at least once if not twice before the season ends. read more

Everything from friendly people, good service, cool pumpkins, and fun got the coolest punk ever

Second time here to pick your own apples but we were a slow bunch this morning and so no apple picking but we got to take home what was already picked! We got to pick the fall raspberries and take was fun! I also did some weeding of the pigweed for purchase to take home! Definitely my favorite farm to go for all things and it's not a bad drive from Minneapolis! It was a busy morning today! Will have to come here super early to get in on the pick your own and I love that you can pretty much pick most of everything there yourself even corn! Another great service today and five stars all around! read more

They do have nice fruit but the service is just terrible. We went there twice. The middle aged men(seems like brothers) are very bossy when telling us what to pick and what not. I get it that you want certain rows to be picked but we are not your workers. Maybe try to be a little nicer? We picked a few pears by the apple tree, when checking out, we were asked, "don't you see the sign that says don't pick pears". I honestly didn't see the sign, there was at least two other families that picked pears with us. Maybe make the sign bigger??? Never coming back again. read more

My family visited Knapton's Orchard and did NOT feel welcomed or comfortable at all due to the fact that the majority of our time there, we were being stalked by the elderly man (known as "pops" or "Mel"). Our group consisted of adults and kids and, while picking raspberries, he drove up to us in his kart and just sat there... watching and lingering around us. Afterwards, we went to pick apples and he again followed us there... watching and lingering... and even proceeded to literally yell at some of the kids accusing them of "throwing apples" and stating - more than once during our time there - that it was "a serious apple-picking farm". Once we were finished, we went to the entry area to pay for our fruits, and again, he followed us there... watching and lingering, and he made sure we were all buying something and made it known that if no one was going to purchase anything, that there is a $4 fee for each person. I tried to tell him that we were all going to purchase something, but he was too busy calculating the $4 headcount to even hear me. Anyway, I finally make my purchase and of course voice my/our frustration of how we were being treated by him during our entire visit and how he did not make us feel welcomed or comfortable at all specifically only targeting us/our group the entire time. Of course the staff are this man's kids so of course they defend him claiming "he is the nicest man" and "he's not racist". Sure. Ok. I expected THAT response. I'm sure he is ... if you look a certain way. It's unfortunate our family outing had to end like that and that the kids had to witness such gross racism. Needless to say, you will never see us there again. We will be spreading the word to allies of anti-hate and anti-racism. read more

A family owned & friendly place to go to! This is our first Fall in the area and I found this place randomly on maps and decided to give it a try. So glad we came & the people were so nice and helpful. We had our own wagon for carrying the pumpkins and containers for the fruit and veggies. We did a full walk around the farm and spent probably a solid hour going around. If you are looking for local produce and fresh fruit this is the place to go! We got a bunch of stuff and 2 pumpkins for $22! If you're looking for activities and games this is not the place to go to. I would definitely recommend this place & will be going back another time! read more

Perfect family run business to support. Friendly and helpful gent, and plentiful berries and sour cherries to pick. We made sour cherry and red currant jelly from the berries we picked, which turned out awesome. The raspberries were sweet and the kids had a great time picking them. This farm is small enough that you can bring young children and is not too much walking for them. We will definitely plan to go back for apple picking time! read more

These type of places family owned, down to earth pick your own stands are getting harder and harder to find as the expansion of the twin cities continues far into the hinterland so I was glad to take the drive out Hwy 55 to this gem. My primary motivation was to pick some fall raspberries and I definitely over did that a bit - 7 lbs worth - but now have LOTS of jars of fresh jam, a bunch of frozen berries in the freezer for the long, cold winter. In addition to the beautiful raspberry patch, they have a large variety of apple trees. Fortunately, they had a wide variety already picked and ready as I was about done with the pick yourself urge. I also purchased some amazing, but small, "luscious pears" (a variety that was new to me) that were tremendously flavorful, a couple of pie pumpkins and some gourds. The big fear about places like these is that they get swallowed up by the ever expanding tracts of cookie-cutter, suburban McMansions and it wasn't hard to hear lots of nearby construction. But in talking to the proprietor, he assured me that they have no plans to sell, and that in fact he just planted a couple hundred more apple trees. Bravo! Definitely my new go-to spot for fall produce. read more

A nice pick you own farm with so many different varieties of apples. Of course you are going to have to come here more than once as they don't ripen all at once . I was really impressed with the honey gold. We came to pick a pumpkin in mid October but most of the pumpkins were already harvested and set up for display up front. We were late for the fall Raspberries by about two weeks. You'd think we'd be very disappointed but the kids still had a great time rummaging through the orchard hoping to find one of the last apples. Also we managed to find an illusive large white pumpkin, gourd. We did buy a bag of honey crisps and those we amazing. read more

Love this orchard. Really lovely people and produce. We go every year and are never disappointed.

What a gem! Beautiful extensive family owned acreage property with several varieties of apple trees, pumpkins, fresh flowers, vegetables, herbs, enormous sunflowers and a tomato greenhouses. Perfect place to let the littles roam and explore nature. Raspberries are amazing and plentiful! We are so happy to have found this close and convenient farm and plan to become frequent visitors. read more

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! We brought our granddaughters for their first time, last year. They left happy and smiling! See you again, soon! read more

My all time favorite spot to get fresh produce. It's always so much fun to go out and pick raspberries, and other fresh fruits and vegetables. It's fun for the whole family really! The Knapton's are super helpful and friendly. I always appreciate them answering any questions I have and pointing me towards the best pickings on the farm. If I am in a hurry and don't have much time, it's great to be able to stop by quick and buy already picked product from the stand! This weekend, they even have an ice cream truck here! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys knowing where their food comes from and supporting local farms! read more

My fall to go fresh apple farm. Apples have a great selections and are tasty. There are bags of apples or you can go pick you own. Staff are very friendly.

We didn't expect racism and rudeness when we visited this orchard today, but yet there it is! My sisters and I were at the raspberry bushes with their kids. We are Asians. This man drove by in his cart, and I first noticed him, sitting there watching us, then he circled around us over and over again, constantly staring. Whenever he drove by other white families with little kids, he didn't pay any attention to them, but he continued to drive around us and watched. We started walking towards the apple trees in the back, and he followed behind in his cart. He pulled to the side, and I watched him walk around slowly behind the kids. Wherever they went, he was standing nearby. One of my nephews, who is 7 years old, pulled an apple from the tree, and another apple dropped to the ground. He started yelling, "I saw that boy throw an apple." I said, "He didn't throw it, the apple dropped." He replied, "I saw him throw it. This is not a playground! Get what you need and leave!!!!" We walked back to the front, and he followed us there, too. When it was our turn to check out, he made sure he was the one behind the counter so he could charge for everything he thought we picked. He asked my sister how full was the basket of raspberries before we got to the counter!!!! He also told my other sister that if we ended up not "buying" anything, he would charge $4 for each person in our group. Seriously?????? He didn't ask anyone else. I did complain about how he drove around and watched only us the whole time we were there to another guy who works there, but it turned out, the old guy is his father!!!!! Wow....the place is shit! Not only are they rude, and racist, but the orchard is tiny, and picking is slim! Don't waste your time or money!!!!! It's not worth it! He clearly was looking for a reason to tell us to leave. read more

We happened to stop by here on our way back from Apple Jack orchards. This is a family owned n operated farm, the people here are really nice, they took us around and explained how to choose n pick best raspberry. They had few vegetables like Beets, carrots, cherry tomatoes all ready to pick. My kids enjoyed picking strawberries, raspberries and Pumpkin. They generally allow Apple picking as well but today they weren't allowing, but they had the freshly picked Apple for purchase. Overall this is a nice fun place to spend day though they don't have other attractions like hey ride, animals etc. most importantly they don't have entry fees and prices are very economical compared to other places around. I will come back here before Halloween close. read more

The place is very big, and has a variety of plants, but it charges very unfairly! We had two small bags of apple, which they charged us $44, and two bags of variety plants, which they charged us $48. read more

If you're looking for pick your own ANYTHING this is the place! Wide variety of vegetables and fruits for picking. A little confusing at first for a newcomer but extremely helpful people there showed us the way. Smaller orchard but great apples and large pumpkin patch as well. read more

Lovely experience getting pumpkins and decorative gourds for halloween! Good selection of pre-picked pumpkins...im sure if we had gone earlier in the season, there'd have been more in the fields. That being said, even though we didn't find any good pick-your-own pumpkins, the farm was very picturesque and fun! Lots of raspberry bushes to pick (and eat) raspberries off of! The apple trees were a bit picked over, but again, i think we would have had better luck had we gone earlier in the fall vs. a week before Halloween. We ended up getting two GIANT pumpkins, about six decorative gourds of various sizes, and a jar of homemade raspberry jam (delicious!). Highly recommend this lovely small pumpkin patch and farm! read more

I went here raspberry picking with my family and boyfriend. We had a blast. My sister's toddlers really enjoyed running around the farm, looking and learning from everything. There is a nice variety of different things that you can pick. We went through the apple orchard and explored flowers. The employees were super helpful and kind. They have wheel barrows you can user around to help you carry items. Wonderful and personalized experience! read more

Stopped here for pumpkins this year since my regular pumpkin place was out of stock for the year already. I was very happy with Knapton's! They have a very large selection of carving and ornamental pumpkins, gourds, indian corn, etc., plus a huge pick-your-own patch as well. The man I spoke to (not sure if it was the owner, I never got his name) was super friendly and helpful. I was also very pleased because I brought my dog with me, but left her in the car figuring that she wasn't allowed. Turns out he was totally fine having her walk around and pick out pumpkins with me! The only downside I found with Knapton's was that there appeared to be only wheelbarrows to transport your found pumpkins, which is pretty much impossible if you are holding a dog's leash! I imagine it would be pretty difficult if you are holding a child's hand or carrying something as well, so wagons that you can pull would be a lot easier! I would definitely visit Knapton's again! read more

We originally came here just to pick our own raspberries but we came home with carrots, tomatoes, green and yellow beans, peppers, Brussels sprouts, and eggplant. This is a cute unique farm because there is such a variety of things you can pick from and it is so much cheaper than getting your veggies at a grocery store and your supporting a small business in the process. I highly recommend coming to this place because once you start picking it's so much fun it's hard to stop. The employees which I think we're family that owned it were very nice people. read more

We took our three young kids this morning and we had a great experience! We could pick so many kinds of produce and flowers ang they loved it. Smaller farm that feels cozy and easy to manage with littles. Definitely recommend! read more
