Agritourism & Farm Experiences near St. Cloud, MN

St Cloud

Blueberry Summer is a blueberry farm in the St. Cloud area of central Minnesota, in Stearns County along the Mississippi River. Cultivated blueberries here ripen from mid-July through August, when u-pick farms open their rows. A search surfaced no website or specific hours, so watch local listings for opening dates during the short picking window.

Saint Cloud

Listed here as White Honey Tree Farm, this veteran- and family-run Saint Cloud operation goes by White Honey Bee Farm. It produces raw local honey and beeswax products alongside apples, vegetables, eggs, chickens, goats, and hogs. Its honey turns up at the Princeton, Sartell, Otsego, and Sauk Rapids farmers markets. The farm leans on natural food and low resource use across its diverse mix of crops and animals.

St. Augusta

Harvest of Horror is a seasonal haunted attraction on 30 acres at 4108 200th Street in St. Augusta, about 15 minutes south of St. Cloud. A tractor pulls hay wagons of roughly 20 riders through a corn maze and woods full of costumed actors, ending in a haunted house walk-through, a 20 to 30 minute trip. It runs Fridays and Saturdays 7 to 11pm around Halloween; tickets are $25, and part of the proceeds goes to a local nonprofit.

Clearwater

Blue Acres grows blueberries using natural methods on Franklin Road in Clearwater, selling both pick-your-own and pre-picked berries along with honey from hives on the farm. The setup includes a picnic area and restrooms for visitors during the summer picking season. The farm has operated since 2010. Blueberry ripening shifts year to year, so check the farm's updates before driving out.

Sauk Rapids

Sauk Rapids

Jack's Apple Farm on Highway 95 NE in Sauk Rapids grows apples without sprays or pesticides and bakes fresh bread on-site each morning. It's a small operation pairing the orchard with 'Jack's Fresh Bread,' with loaves baked early and sold alongside the fruit. Apples ripen through the fall picking season.

Saint Joseph

A & G Corn Maze cuts an eight-acre maze in two phases near Saint Joseph, a quick beginner loop and a longer 45-to-60-minute puzzle, named for the owners' two oldest kids, Akeelah and Gavin. The fall festival started in 2010 and adds a giant jumping pillow, goat fishing, human hamster wheels, human foosball, and pumpkins. It runs weekends from late September through late October.

Clear Lake

Brothers Paul and Gary Gray started Grayson's Berryland in 1983, and it grows strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries across about 10 acres near Clear Lake. Staff pick roughly 60 percent of the fields, leaving the rest open for u-pick; early morning tends to be the best time to fill a bucket. The farm sits near the junction of Highway 24 and County Road 8. Call (320) 743-3384 for what's ripe.

South Haven

A diversified orchard, flower farm and pumpkin patch on 50 acres in South Haven, growing standard Minnesota apples plus varieties bred on-site, including the KinderKrisp. The farm cuts flowers and salad greens and turns its fruit into pies, crisps and jam. Pick-your-own apples and a themed corn maze run in fall. The farmstore occupies part of an 1800s Yankee barn and stocks apples, jam and pies alongside local honey, maple syrup and crafts. Call (320) 236-7685.

Annandale

Sunny Acres runs a fall pumpkin patch off County Road 39 northwest of Annandale, in Wright County's lake country. Beyond a Facebook page, little is documented online, so the pumpkin season and hours are best confirmed there before a visit. This is farm-stand pumpkin picking in central Minnesota, roughly an hour from the Twin Cities.

Clear Lake

B&J Evergreen grows Christmas and landscape trees across a 200-acre spread in Clear Lake. In December you can cut your own or grab a pre-cut tree, plus wreaths and holiday greenery. The rest of the year the farm sells landscape-sized evergreens and shade trees. A working tree farm rather than a one-weekend lot.

Avon

T Berries opens for pick-your-own strawberries in June, usually 7 to 10 a.m. until the patch is picked out, at its Stearns County farm on County Road 9 near Avon. Buckets and take-home boxes are provided, and it's cash or check only. The stand also sells low-sugar jams and jellies, crock-fermented sauerkraut, local maple syrup, honey, and Minnesota-made BBQ sauce. Call for daily picking conditions.

Avon

Eichers Hobby Farm makes handcrafted goat-milk skincare in Avon, near St. Cloud: soaps, lotions, and creams from their own herd's milk. Everything is made in small batches on the farm using natural ingredients. The family sells direct through their site and at regional markets. A goat dairy turned soap workshop rather than a produce stand.

Becker

Cut-your-own Christmas trees are the draw here, with short-needle spruce from four to twenty feet plus a smaller supply of white pine, balsam, and Fraser fir. The Petersons have farmed trees around Becker since 1956, and Lee later added an apple orchard, so fall brings U-pick apples before the December tree season. Trees grow naturally green. Bring a saw or borrow one at the lot off 149th Avenue.

Monticello

Brad and Bess Munsterteiger have run this Wright County farm since 2000, opening for pick-your-own strawberries in June and blueberries in July. Picking containers and carry-home flats are provided. Garlic follows in August, and cut-your-own flowers run from late June into fall. The couple keeps honeybees too, selling honey, lip balm, lotion bars, and beeswax wraps year-round. Daily updates on what's ripe post to their site and phone line.

Royalton

Pick-your-own strawberries run a short window here, roughly late June into mid-July, before the farm shifts to its fall identity as Triple S Pumpkins. The Gerads family grows more than 50 varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds, with a swing trail winding through the woods out to the patch and farm animals for kids. David Stish first bought the Royalton land in 1978 and ran it as a cut-your-own Christmas tree and berry operation. Open weekends from mid-September through October.

Buffalo

Woods' Edge Apples is a family orchard three miles north of Buffalo on Highway 25, growing pick-your-own and pre-picked apples in varieties like First Kiss, SweeTango, Honeycrisp, Zestar, Snow Sweet, and Haralson. It also offers u-pick raspberries, pumpkins, and squash, and manages the orchard with integrated pest management. A gift shop carries work from local artisans, and the farm runs hayrides and keeps friendly animals. Apple picking continues into late October.

Albany

Strawberries Galore & More is a pick-your-own strawberry farm near Albany that Tammy Frericks planted in 2019, starting with two acres of berries and a half acre of asparagus. Beyond strawberries it sells honey, sweet corn, fall-bearing raspberries, pumpkins, squash, gourds, and homemade jams. The farm sits on County Road 10 in Stearns County. Picking dates depend on the season, so confirm before heading out.

Eden Valley

Open since 2004, this family entertainment farm near Eden Valley centers on a 19,000-square-foot maze, plus giant slides, two mini-golf courses, five bounce houses, pony rides and a corn pit. A petting area lets kids feed goats, pigs and bunnies, and school groups come for programs on animal care and dairy farming. It holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. Find it on State Highway 55; call (320) 453-6901.

Big Lake

A Christmas tree grower operating near Big Lake since 1979, Tallakson's also sells at the seasonal Big Lake Farmers' Market from June through October alongside produce, plant and craft vendors. Business records list it under wholesale Christmas trees, and directory addresses conflict between Big Lake and nearby communities. Details online are thin beyond the tree business and the farmers-market presence.

Buffalo

A meat farm outside Buffalo in Wright County, west of the Twin Cities. The name points to Angus cattle, the black-hided beef breed common across central Minnesota, though little about the operation is published online. Direct-from-farm beef sales are typical for a farm of this type in the area.

Princeton

The Historic Deglman Farm in Princeton traces back to 1934, built around a dairy barn raised in 1946 that now anchors weddings and events. The barn loft holds up to 250 guests, giving the property a rustic, working-farm backdrop rather than a built-for-show venue feel. It's run as a family event business more than a produce or u-pick operation.

Monticello

Fresh Acres Farm runs a fall festival on 72nd Street NE in Monticello, in Wright County northwest of the Twin Cities. The festival brings a corn maze, pumpkin patch, petting zoo, inflatables, a combine slide, and a corn cannon, with admission around $13. The farm grows non-GMO produce, opens a sunflower field in August, and raises pasture-raised animals. The corn maze reopens in mid-September.

Monticello

Fresh Acres runs a fall festival on 72nd Street NE in Monticello, open Fridays through Sundays from early September. Two farmers left corporate careers to start the place in 2016 and added the first corn maze in 2018. The larger maze covers about 2.3 miles of paths, and a smaller one suits kids under 8. Admission also covers the pumpkin patch, petting zoo, inflatables, a corn pit, and weekend wagon rides.

Elk River

Goracke Trees is a small tree farm listed on County Road 14 near Elk River, in Sherburne County northwest of the Twin Cities. Very little about it is published online, so hours and current stock are best confirmed with the farm directly.

Princeton

Princeton

JQ Fruit Farm and Orchard grows pick-your-own blueberries on six acres of roughly 10,000 plants raised herbicide- and pesticide-free, plus u-pick apples with a half-peck minimum and raspberries. It sits on 33rd Street outside Princeton in Mille Lacs County, north of the Twin Cities. Berry picking runs midsummer and apples in early fall, and the farm makes its own products from the harvest.
