Apple Orchards In Watertown, MN, Set To Open In September

August 22, 2016 – – LuceLine Orchard, based in Watertown, MN, are proud to announce that their 2016 Season Opening is set for Saturday, September 3, 2016. From then on, they will have a variety of apples available for people to enjoy. This year, the orchard will also have a number of activities to spice up the event.

Terri Traen from LuceLine Orchard says: “We’re so excited to be opening soon. We have a fantastic season planned with lots of gorgeous apples, with flavors for every taste bud. Plus, you won’t spend a minute bored when visiting us, since we also have a lot of activities going on. Plus, our gift shop and restaurant will be open for business as well.”

Various kinds of apples can be obtained from the orchard. One variety that is already available is the Zestar, which is the season’s earliest apple and always gets people really excited. These sweet yet sharp tasting apples are incredibly juicy, and everybody loves them.

Meanwhile, the SweeTango will be available by early September. The parentage of this apple is really interesting, being a mixture of Zestar and Honeycrisp. Put together, it has created the perfect mixture of tangy and sweet apples. The Honeycrisp variety itself will be available by the middle of September, since it is a popular midseason apple. It has quite an aromatic flavor and has an excellent storage life. It is perfect for eating on its own, but can also be added to salads and desserts.

If you bike or run the Luce Line – make sure to stop by. Just a few minutes off the trail.”
