Ocheda Orchard has been the place for fresh locally grown apples for over 30 years. 

The first trees were planted in 1965 by the Donald Nystrom family.  Early plantings were standard size but more recent plantings are dwarf size trees. 

Chuck Nystrom, the current owner/manager has traveled from Washington  State to South Carolina in search of apple varieties suitable to SW Minnesota. However the Orchard continues to feature Minnesota-developed varieties such as Haralson, Sweet Sixteen, Zestar, and Honeycrisp.

Ocheda Orchard has approximately 5000 trees, and 25 varieties planted on 35 acres.
