*WHERE TO PICK LOCALLY GROWN BERRIES [ [link removed] ]*

Nothing compares to the flavor of a freshly picked berry. Fortunately, fresh berries are something Minnesota farmers do very well. According to Minnesota Grown, nearly 200 Minnesota farms grow and sell strawberries, raspberries and/or blueberries, many offering berry enthusiasts a chance to pick their own!

*12 OF THE BEST FARM STAYS IN MINNESOTA [ [link removed] ]*

It’s no secret that Minnesota excels at first-hand farm experiences like alpaca selfies, pumpkin patches, and berry picking. Agritourism is taken to another level at the state’s many farm stays though, whether it's a night in a renovated grain silo, charming treehouse, or souped-up honeymoon suite.
