Sapsucker Farms

Sapsucker Farms is a veteran-owned, MOSA-certified organic regenerative farm on 172 acres near Mora in East Central Minnesota, about 70 miles north of the Twin Cities. Jim and Debbie Morrison bought the land in 1997, became full-time residents in 2000, and over time established certified organic vegetables, maple syrup, honeybees, laying hens, and an apple orchard, along with plums, cherries, pears, and grapes. The farm has produced Yellow Belly Hard Cider since 2015, when it became a farm winery; cider making moved into a new 80-by-80-foot cider barn with a taproom and stage in 2019. The cider is made from the farm's own apples plus juice pressed from fruit grown by other Minnesota orchards, with expressions ranging from dry and semi-sweet to botanical, fruit, and wood-aged. Visitors can taste ciders and non-alcoholic farm-made drinks in the cider barn, walk the farmyard and hiking trails with beverages in hand, and attend weekend food trucks, live music, classes, and vendor events. Leashed dogs are welcome in the taproom and outside.
