Local Attraction: Jim’s Apple Farm

It’s apple time in Minnesota – and we’ve got a great selection of orchards here in Jordan. One of the most unique is Jim’s Apple Farm, which not only carries a large variety of pre-picked apples, but also boasts of being Minnesota’s largest candy store. With a barn full of every type of candy imaginable, from those hard to find classics to the latest sweet treat, you’ll find it here. A large number of varieties is Jim’s specialty – 87 kinds of licorice, 67 kinds of root beer – and the number posted outside is always growing. But they don’t stop at apples and candy. There is a fantastic bakery baking up pies and strudels – and a pie light outside let’s you know when the ovens are filling the barn with a heavenly aroma. And there are shelf upon shelf full of every preserve or pickled food you can think of. And there’s more – Pumpkins and Gourds. And at great prices – any gourd is $1.49, and any pumpkin is $3.98. And not just the standard orange fare – but white, and blue, and knobby ones that look like they are covered with peanuts. You’ve just got to stop by!

About TresaKnox

Owner/Innkeeper of Nicolin Mansion since 2003, I have had a lifelong passion for hospitality, decorating, and cooking. After honeymooning on Mackinac Island, my husband Kevin and I fell in love with B&Bs and began seeking them out for anniversary and birthday celebrations. We found mentors in New Ulm, created a list of features in the perfect building, and then fell in love with Jordan and the Nicolin Mansion. I should have started this years ago, as the process of restoring and creating our bed and breakfast would have been an interesting chronicle. We hope you enjoy the notes of an innkeeper's life and what one finds interesting, amusing, and noteworthy.
