Aamodt's Apple Farm at Stillwater calls itself the "Home of Honeycrisp Apples", and its variety list is a tour of the University of Minnesota breeding programme.
At the time of checking: First Kiss and SweeTango.
In the barn: First Kiss, SweeTango, State Fair, Mantet and Paula Red. Zestar is days away, with Honeycrisp, Dolgo and Chestnut following in late August.
At the time of checking, State Fair was half price in the apple barn at $0.99 a pound.
The Apple Barn with a full bakery and menu, Thor's Hard Cider, and Saint Croix Vineyards on the same site.
Picking is 10am to 5pm daily. The barn stays open to 6pm, seven days a week.
Pro tip: First Kiss and SweeTango are both Minnesota-bred and both worth going out of your way for. First Kiss ripens in mid-August, which is astonishingly early for a crisp apple, and it is gone in a fortnight.
