“Can you imagine,” a gruff voice chuckled behind me, “thirty thousand apple trees?” A chorus of amazed murmurs rippled through the tour group as we stood before the entrance of Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest Craft Cider Bar & Orchard. A weathered sign, painted with a cheerful apple, beckoned us towards a sprawling orchard. This wasn’t just an orchard, though. Ferguson’s Minnesota Harvest Craft Cider Bar & Orchard is a testament to generations of dedication. For over four decades, this family-run business, formerly known as Sponsel’s Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard, has been a beloved destination. They welcome visitors to experience the simple joys of a day spent among the trees. While ownership may have changed, the legacy of the Sponsel family lives on. Topper Sponsel, one of the former owners, poured his heart into cultivating unique apple varieties. He gifted the world over twenty new types of apples, each with a quirky name like Plum Crabbie and Sugar Shack. Today, over forty thousand trees, bearing both classic and Sponsel-bred apples, stretch across three hundred acres. The spirit of innovation extends beyond the orchard. The Minnesota Harvest Craft Cider Bar & Orchard also boasts a charming Apple Lodge. Here, visitors can indulge in locally-crafted apple wine, savor a hearty brunch, and enjoy live music – because what’s a day of apple picking without a little toe-tapping fun?
