There are two additional businesses on site with food/snack options. 

The winery also has snack options, see below: 

1) Thor's Hard Cider* 

  *Thor's - Just like the Minnesota seasons, our food menu changes throughout the year. Once in a while we've got food trucks (check out Facebook for events), the brat shack is open in the autumn season, and we've got a rotating seasonal menu when it's not apple season. Some of our more frequent offerings include smoked pulled pork, apple brats, pretzels with cheese dip, and apple salsa with chips. We just ask for you to not bring your own food in (although - we do understand severe food allergies). Kitchen stops taking orders 30 minutes prior to close. 

2) Apple Farm - Aamodt's Bakery & Store**

**Apple Farm - Aamodt's Bakery & Store Menu Options:  Chris’ Apple Brat Aamodt’s apple brats are famous among Twin Cities orchard fans. Chris’ Apple Brat comes topped with crunchy coleslaw, chopped Honeycrisp apples, crispy bacon and savory bleu cheese. It’s an explosion of flavor and texture.  Original Apple Brats & Hot Dogs You just can’t go wrong with a delicious hot dog or apple brat served fresh and hot on a cool fall day.  Honeycrisp Apple Salsa Try our unique Honeycrisp Apple Salsa! Minnesota grown Honeycrisp apples with a little spicy kick make it a unique culinary experience. Goes perfectly with plate of crunchy chips.
