Irish Mountain Orchard

A Family-Owned Apple Orchard in the Heart of Southern Minnesota

At [Lee’s] Irish Mountain Orchard, we believe that fresh apples and family time go hand in hand. We’re the Lee family—Jacob and Leslie, alongside our children Iszabela, Vanndin, Liviana, and Creidin—and we’re honored to carry on the legacy of this beautiful orchard. What started in 1970 as a small retirement project has grown into a thriving apple orchard where families come to pick fresh Honeycrisp apples, enjoy the outdoors, and make lifelong memories.

Located in the rolling hills of Elysian, Minnesota, our orchard is home to thousands of apple trees, including Honeycrisp, Zestar!, Fireside, and Haralson. Whether you’re searching for the perfect apple to snack on, bake with, or bring home to your family, you’ll find it here. We also offer pears and other seasonal fruit as we continue to expand and grow.

Beyond apples, we’re building a place where traditions take root. Taylor, our son-in-law, is cultivating food plots for hunting experiences for outdoor lovers in the years ahead. We see the orchard as more than a business—it’s our family’s next chapter, a place where faith, hard work, and joy come together in the simple things: a walk through the rows of apple trees, a sunny autumn afternoon, a warm cup of cider shared with loved ones.

Come visit us during harvest season for U-pick apples, fresh cider, and fall fun. Whether it’s your first visit or an annual family tradition, we hope your time at Lee’s Irish Mountain Orchard feels like coming home.
