At FORWARD Worthington, we’re all about building strong communities, celebrating local gems, and yes loving our neighbors. And when this writers next-door neighbor is Nystrom Orchard, it’s pretty easy to do.
Located just south of Worthington, Nystrom Orchard is more than just an apple orchard—it’s a family-run business that fills our corner of Nobles County with the freshest fruit, delicious homemade goodies, and a whole lot of heart. From sweet cider and crisp apples to fresh jams and warm smiles, Nystrom’s makes every season feel a little brighter.
🍏 A Harvest of Goodness
There’s always something special about pulling into their driveway and stepping into the barn store. You’re greeted not just by the aroma of apples and baked goods, but by the people behind them who know their craft and care deeply about what they do. Their shelves are full of:
- Orchard-fresh apples of multiple varieties
- honey, breads, and beverages made with love
- Locally sourced treats and unique seasonal finds
They grow more than apples, but they grow community, and that’s just as valuable in our book.
đź“… Annual Events to Savor
Nystrom Orchard’s calendar is filled with events that bring people together:
- Spring Brunch Series: Celebrate Mother’s Day weekend with cider mimosas and seasonal dishes.
- Tasting Through the Orchard: Stroll through the orchard sampling dishes featuring their produce, complemented by bonfires and live music.
- Cider Weekend: Experience the annual season-end party with cider flights, flatbreads, and cheese boards.
- Old-Fashioned Pie Socials: Enjoy Dutch Apple Pie while connecting with neighbors in a nostalgic setting.
- Family Weekend: Engage in scavenger hunts, sack races, and more, fostering screen-free family fun.
- Private Picnics: Book a gourmet picnic experience amidst the orchard’s serene backdrop.
These events not only offer delightful experiences but also strengthen our community bonds.
