Sponsel's Minnesota Harvest is located 12 miles south of Shakopee, between Jordan and Belle Plaine. Minnesota Harvest is one of America's premiere apple orchards, featuring twenty-five exciting new apple varieties that we bred right here on site, and seventy-five more varieties ranging from established favorites to the very newest introductions, including some "hidden gems." That's how we do our food and music, too...with variety and creativity, looking for remarkable results. We do birthday parties all through the winter. The only time we aren't able to set aside something special for your individual group is on the weekends from September 8 - October 28 due to the high volume of both horseback riders and orchard visitors. We would still love for you to come out and enjoy all the activities that are taking place during that time. We've hosted numerous weddings and wedding receptions at Minnesota Harvest. Our unique setting is perfect for couples.
