Blossom Hill Orchard & Farm

Located just outside of Preston, Minnesota in the heart of the Driftless Region, Blossom Hill is a small, family owned farm. We strive to grow the tastiest, most nutritious apples using the most sustainable methods available. We grow over 30 varieties of apples so no matter what your preference may be we are sure to have an apple for you! Our Orchard Market offers a wide variety of seasonal produce, baked goods and locally sourced items.

The Farmer

Dane grew up in Rochester, Minnesota. After completing a degree from the University of Minnesota he moved to the foothills of Northern Colorado. It was during his time in Colorado that Dane really put that history degree to work and took a job on a vegetable farm. After his first season he was hooked and knew that growing good food for people was his passion.

The Baker

Hillary grew up in Rochester, Minnesota. She attended the Apicius School of International Hospitality in Florence, Italy where she earned a degree in culinary. She brought her skills back to the states and worked at the best restaurants in Rochester. Hillary also lived in Colorado and it was during her time there that she and Dane met (even though they graduated from the same high school).
