1. Blossom Hill Orchard and Farm in Preston, MN. Just a 10 minute drive from Lanesboro and located off of US-52, you don't want to miss the fall flavors at Blossom Hill. There are lots of apple varieties to sample and purchase, a case of baked goods your tasetbuds will love (apple turnovers, pies, kolaches, cookies, bars & more!), fall decor (pumpkins, gourds, and more), and local food items like honey, syrup, and snacks. This beautiful orchard on the hill will satisfy all the Fall flavors you are craving. And, on Oct. 4 they celebrate their 10th anniversary!
