It’s peak apple picking season, and as visitors return to their favorite apple orchard, they may notice fewer activities being offered.

To kick off the fall season, many families spent their weekend at Pine Tree Apple Orchard in White Bear Lake admiring the big red fruits.

“Maybe once a year, it’s always kind of fun just to get fresh apples off the trees. And then of course here they have the apple donuts, which are really good,” said John Carlson of Blaine.
