About This Farm
Lee Peterson Tree Farm at Becker has been farming trees since 1956, and the story of its apple orchard is worth telling properly.
What You Can Pick
Apples, at the U-Pick Apple Orchard. Christmas trees in season.
The Orchard Fence
Harry and Judy Peterson began tree farming in Becker and Orrock in 1956. After Harry died, their son Lee expanded the farm by adding an apple orchard. Their eldest daughter Linda and her husband Mark Hoffmann, a retired Special Forces veteran, asked to dedicate the fence surrounding the newly planted orchard to the fallen soldiers of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
There is a Veterans' Memorial on the farm.
Good to Know
At 59th Street and 149th Avenue, Becker. Phone 612-423-3441.
Pro tip: go and look at the fence. An orchard boundary dedicated to the dead of two wars, planted by the family of a Special Forces veteran, is not something you will find at another pick-your-own.
