Description

Embark on a delightful journey with the Orchard Walking Tours, where owner Dean Kreutzer personally guides you through a fascinating exploration of the orchard. Witness an impressive array of fruit trees, including Prairie Cherries, apricots, peaches, blackberries, and wine grapes.

Dean shares his innovative growing techniques, such as using containers and unique systems for non-hardy fruits, and showcases his 5000 raised strawberry plants for easy picking!

During the tour, Dean passionately discusses his fruit breeding efforts aimed at creating resilient fruit trees for the prairies. One of the highlights is the demonstration of a 100-year-old cherry pitting machine. This enriching experience is suitable for all ages and is wheelchair accessible, making it perfect for family outings and group events. The tour typically lasts 1.5 hours and is both fun and educational!
