About Pine Tree Apple Orchard
The first apple trees were planted on the shore
of Pine Tree Lake in 1904. That orchard would one day be Pine Tree Orchard for Art Jacobson, a city boy from St. Paul, who dreamed of growing apples and living on the land.
In 1950, Art and his wife, Dickie, moved out to the orchard and eventually purchased it in 1958. They settled down to make growing apples the center
of their lives and the lives of their children.
Today, all six adult children are actively involved in growing and marketing apples. And now there are even grandchildren taking part in the operation. Each family member has his or her own special interest.
