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
By Andrew Dyrdal – Albert Lea Tribune
Published Wednesday, January 13, 2010
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!

Hi folks!
I apologize for such a long pause between my last posting and now! Let me catch you up to speed…
Quite like previous years, the fall proved to be our busiest time at Seaquist Orchards Farm Market! As quickly as the leaves fell to the ground, we harvested and supplied several varieties of apples. Mr. Seaquist spent most of his days offering samples and advice in the Apple Barn. Standing beside my dad was where most people spent their time while in the farm market. But many kids and adults also found themselves in the greenhouse, trying to find their way through our straw maze. (This year the maze had a slide!) Families return on a yearly basis, simply to squeeze through the maze and grab a bag of apples. We thank you for returning and making our business a family tradition!
We closed the doors for the season on Halloween day. Thank you again for supporting our local, family-owned and operated business. We are so thankful! Speaking of thankfulness…Thanksgiving is fast approaching! And Christmas as well! Our family gets together and enjoys a feast, but not without first acknowledging that God has blessed us time and again, especially in regards to the business. Christmas time is another family time when we recognize, as a group and individually, how blessed we are! Enjoy the season with your family and friends! Feel free to email Kristin or myself with your family traditions! We would love to hear your stories.
As you wisely shop this Christmas, please consider shopping at our online store! We have already assembled gift boxes or we can personally gift wrap products you choose. To view the online store, click here. If you would like to call in your order, please call 920-854-4199.
Thank you again for making our season a good one! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! To God be the Glory!
Hi there! Exciting news!
Seaquist Orchards Farm Market has been nominated to be in the runnings for a small business award called Shine A Light. Through American Express and NBC Universal, the award is given. We are so excited to be a potential recipient! Please learn more and consider endorsing the farm market here!
Thank you so much for your support!
On the fruit front…
Fresh cherries will disappear within the next few days, but have no fear! We have frozen, dried and canned cherries. Early apples are here and more varieties are on their way! Pumpkins, corn, delicious cider donuts, the hay maze…all of these things are ushering in the fall, leaving cherry blossoms in the dust. We are hopeful that we’ll see lots of cherries next summer…
