Southwind
Orchards 45440 County Road 12 Dakota, MN 55925-4088 Phone: (507) 643-6255 Web: www.southwindorchards.com Southwind apples are grown on the choice hillsides of a broad, deep valley near the town of Dakota, which nestles on the banks of the Mississippi River. Here, their roots lie deep in the wind-driven loess soil that blankets a deep deposit of limestone rock. Kissed by the dew and mist from the Mississippi, they spend long hours bathing in the sun, gently ripening to full-bodied goodness. |
