I can't speak for children's fun as this was an adults only party but we sure did have fun like we were kids again! They offer feed bags to feed the animals at just $1 a bag, apple canons, hay rides through the orchard and a jumping pillow! We were able to enjoy a warm bonfire too! The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating of our large group! Highly recommend this orchard for hosting events and can't wait to return to check out their day time activities!

They have a great little gift store with lots of local made treats and pre bagged apples. You can also pick your own. We did the wagon ride and corn maze. Wagon ride was fun. Corn maze was a bit of a dud, not super well kept and we were in and out of there in about 5 minutes. They also had some goats you could feed, a jumping pad and a pumpkin patch. There was also some outdoor seating and some live music which was nice. There is a little parking right in front and then some more on the side.

My wife and I have been habitue's of the Minneapolis Farmers Market for decades. When the Market…read moreis open we can usually be found there every weekend. Over the years we have developed a number of vendors that we patronize such as the cucumber lady, the asparagus man, the egg guy, and many others selling vegetables and other products that you just can't find at the supermarket However, this year of the pandemic (2020), we decided that it wasn't worth the risk to go to the market in person. We eat a lot of vegetables and didn't want to give up local produce so we decided to participate in Community Sustainable Agriculture (CSA) program. One of the vendors we patronized at the Market was Untiedt based in Waverly. They are one of the largest vendors selling mostly local products at the Market and we particularly liked their grape tomatoes and sugar cube melons. Since they are large they have an extensive network in the metro area for distribution of their weekly shares. We get ours at Wagners on Penn Avenue in Southwest Minneapolis. There is the added bonus of a small Untiedt vegetable stand in the parking lot which we use to supplement our CSA box. So far we have been very happy with our experience. Every week we get a nice variety of fresh veggies. Since there are only two of us at home now we debated about whether to get the family size or smaller sized box. We went with the family sized and are glad we did. However we do eat a lot of vegetables. Quality has always been high. It would be nice if you could customize your order each week but I understand that the logistics would be unmanageable. We miss going to the Farmer's market in person but the CSA box is a nice option to have.

We started with Loon Organics in June 2009. We received a monthly box of fresh organic vegetables every month through October. It was excellent and I would recommend highly.

You can also find them at the Mill City Farmers Market next to the Guthrie Theater all summer long.

He only talked to me a few times but knows that I am a meat eater, and tells me about the specials that he has on the meats. His customer service skills are on whole new level that I have never experienced before. I also asked for a few items to carry and told him that my family is gluten free due to celiac disease and he is actively trying to carry more gluten free items. He has even said that he can special order stuff for me if I ask him to. Buying the meat that they package there is also the best option as you know that it is fresh and weighed correctly.

Glenn's Super Valu is a fantastic, familiar owned grocery store. As you walk into the store you are…read moremet with a clean and organized environment with helpful service. The produce is quite nice and appears to be very fresh. Like any store, every once in a while you may find something sub-par, but if you show it to them, they are quick to fix it. Throughout the store, the organization and display of product is neat and tidy. When you get back to the meat section, you will find a great selection of quality meats. Like any small town grocer, the prices aren't always going to be where you'd like them, but supporting the small business helps keep costs down. There's no reason to not shop at this place if you live in the area. It is very apparent that Glenn and his family take good care of the place. And, they even insist on taking your groceries to your car for you!

The service is great, and the food makes it better. We were a party of 11, so we know we were going to have to wait longer to get our food.

You can still hear everyone at your table, carry a great conversation, all while enjoying g your meal. I'd like to checkout their lunch/dinner menu to see how that is.
