Explore Some Apple Orchards Near Faribault

I love apples all year round, but during autumn, they are especially wonderful. Fall is now here, and for many people, that includes getting outside and enjoying the weather as much as possible, and possibly making seasonal treats as well.  Earlier I created a list of corn mazes in the area, and I thought it would be fun to also create a list of pick your own apple orchards in the area!
