| Welcome to the Straight River Farm website |
| -- Farm to table produce -- Faribault, Minnesota |
Welcome to the Straight River Farm website -- produce fresh from the
farm to your table. We're located a couple of miles outside Faribault,
Minnesota, an easy drive south of the Twin Cities of St. Paul & Minneapolis,
in rural Rice County.
Our orchard has expanded to 8 acres of trees; we have Zestar! and
Honeycrisp among our varieties -- and new trees were planted that will add
SweeTango to the list in a year or two. The apples page has more
information. We do not offer pick-your-own apples at this time.
Our strawberries are available to pick your own or to buy picked from June
to early July. Check the strawberry picking page for more information
about picking & buying strawberries, and the strawberries page for
information about strawberries in general.
Our small summer raspberry patch usually opens about July 1--just as the
strawberries are finishing. The raspberries page gives updated picking
information as it's available.
Spring 2011 saw the planting of 3 acres of blueberries. It will be several
years before they produce a crop, but we're excited to add this popular
berry to our farm.
