As our 2010-2011 season quickly approaches, we are planning a celebration that will knock your socks off! We’ve got a few ideas up our sleeves, but we would like to hear from you! Any suggestions as to how we should celebrate and make the season great for you, please email Kristin Seaquist at kseaquist@seaquistorchards.com.

We’re looking forward to a year of celebration!

It has been the winter tradition for a group of Seaquists and their relatives to meet at a cabin in Upper Michigan for a long weekend. Each year, lots of love and laughter are shared! Skiing of all sorts, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, walks along the lake, movie nights, puzzles, knitting…We love to do it all! Here’s a glimpse of our fun together:

If you’d like to see more photographs from this and other trips, please join us on Facebook!

Hi folks!

We’re closing a bit earlier than blogged about yesterday, but we do have a date for you as to when we will reopen it – March 1st! Please come visit our site then! Sorry again for the inconvenience!

Hi everyone!

Just wanting to inform you that our online store will be closed as of Friday, February 12th until notified otherwise. It will be closed just a few short weeks; I will keep you updated on when it reopens. We’re sorry about the inconvenience!

Thank you for your patience!

Hi folks! It’s been a few weeks…

Hoping the year has started off well for you! To brighten this moment, here’s a short story:

Once upon a time there were two dreamers who sat upon a rock and vigorously dreamt. They dreamt of jams and apple cider slushies, plump cherries and hay mazes, full bellies and beaming faces. The dreamers (Dale and Kristin Seaquist, of course) pondered the ways to best serve and invite customers; “How will we do it?” they thought. Well, as dreams often do, they sparked initiative and the Seaquists hopped off the rock. They hit the ground running, and their dreams came to life!

Thank you for being a part of our exciting and driven reality! ( The rock mentioned does exist! It sits on the playground, right outside the farm market. During your next visit, take a seat on that rock and do a little dreaming of your own. )

It’s Clean Up Your Computer Month
Tips for Being Resolute in Your Computer Caretaking

As January begins, people trade fast food for fruit and flood the gym as they begin working on their weight-loss resolutions, but how many focus on their computer’s health?

National Clean Up Your Computer Month is an effort to remind technology owners to resolve to improve performance. A computer’s performance is affected greatly by what programs are installed on it and how files are organized.

As more and more of my work becomes connected to and done on various computers, I’m realizing the importance to maintain good “computer health.” Just a reminder for you to do the same; keep your computer well! (You don’t want to miss out on Seaquist Orchards updates! If you haven’t yet, please get connected to us via Facebook!)

Enjoy this winter day!

Hi folks!

“Happy New Year!” and a “Merry Christmas!” to you! Please enjoy the Ecard we sent out to our customers:

The Seaquist Christmas E-card

We hope you have started off the year with joy! Thanks again for sharing in our last harvest and season!

Captain Jeff’s potato salad mix quickly became a favorite item at Seaquist Orchards Farm Market. Last month, his story and salad were highlighted in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. We hope to sell many more of Captain Jeff’s salad mix next season. His product is topnotch! See for yourself at his website, www.captjeffs.com!

Good morning, fruit fans!

We have something special for you this winter and spring…gift crates! The gifts come with three items, tucked into a Seaquist Orchards pine crate. (Our logo can be found on both ends of the crate.) You can choose from an assortment of jams and jellies that are with or without added sugar, mustards, salsas and barbeque dips. We have 6 assortments to choose from, ranging in price from $16 to $23. It’s quite the deal! If you have not been able to visit our farm market, our online store is a good substitute. It  gives you a glimpse of the products we sell in our seasonal store, which is open May through October. If the crates perk your interest but none of the assortments suit you, please call us and we custom pack whatever you would like! We can be reached at 920-854-4199. Below, is the gift crate with three of our most popular jams: chopped cherry, whole cherry and cherry raspberry. To view the additional crates and other Seaquist products, please click here!
