Welcome to Blossom Hill Farm!
Located just outside of Preston, Minnesota in the heart of Driftless Region, Blossom Hill is a small, family owned farm. We strive to grow the tastiest, most nutritious apples and delectable pork using the most sustainable methods available. We grow over 30 varieties of apples so no matter what your preference may be we are sure to have an apple for you! Our Orchard Market offers a wide variety of seasonal produce, baked goods and locally sourced items.
The Farmer
Dane grew up in Rochester, Minnesota. After completing a degree from the University of Minnesota he moved to the foothills of Northern Colorado. It was during his time in Colorado that Dane really put that history degree to work and took a job on a vegetable farm. After his first season he was hooked and knew that growing good food for people was his passion.
The Baker
Hillary grew up in Rochester, Minnesota. She attended the Apicius School of International Hospitality in Florence, Italy where she earned a degree in culinary. She brought her skills back to the states and worked at the best restaurants in Rochester. Hillary also lived in Colorado and it was during her time there that she and Dane met (even though they graduated from the same high school).

- Hard Goods: Pottery, handmade soap, cutting boards, rugs and candles are just a few of the unique, locally made products you will find in the Orchard Market
Pastured Pork
Pigs were a new addition to the farm in 2018 and what an awesome addition they were! Not only are they fun to manage, they also play a pivotal role in the orchard. We bring them into the orchard after harvest to help clean up all the dropped fruit that can harbor unwanted pests and funguses. We buy 40lb pigs in the spring from an organic farm just 35 miles away, raise them on pasture with a supplement of organic feed. Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing our pork.
Greenhouse
Weather you need flowers to create a beautiful flower bed, hanging flower baskets for your porch or vegetable starts for you garden, we have you covered. We are proud to carry Cowsmo Organic Potting Soil. The greenhouse is open from mid-April until the end of June.
