9th Annual FUN(d) Raising Party is Coming Soon! Hope to see you all there!
Summer always seems to fly by—and somehow, it feels like it speeds up a little more each year. That’s not exactly ideal, especially when we’re trying to make time to get together with our three daughters, their families, and friends both near and far. Throw in live music events, caring for our home in Coon [...]
Spring is again in the air at Lost Creek Hippies Vineyard!
We again had a lot milder Winter this year, with not much snow and warmer temps. We could easily get used to this! As usual, keeping up with pruning the apple trees, fertilizing, disease spraying, and mowing is keeping us busy. Our orchard has grown to 35 trees, 4 of which are producing apples which [...]
The Fall party was a great success, colder weather on the horizon.
Happy Fall to everyone! We are currently having the type of weather, 60-75F days and 55F nights, that we would like to see continue until next May. Living in Minnesota, however, we always know that the evil cold snap / blizzard can be anytime, so …. Enjoy it! Our orchard apple harvest only took us [...]

Spring is again in the air at Lost Creek Hippies Vineyard!
After a pleasantly mild Winter, Spring is arriving with a vengeance, as usual. We’re presently struggling to keep up with pruning and fertilizing. It would be easier if we weren’t constantly going away to visit family and friends, but that’s life! Our 28 trees in our secured orchard area remain alive and sprouting, but our [...]
Happy Fall from Lost Creek Hippies Vineyard (Orchard)!
Happy Fall to all! Finally, we seem to be slowing down a bit. Our 4 established McIntosh apple trees produced several hundred apples, and 37 Honeycrisp newer plantings are growing, slowly. We’re expecting them to become productive in another 2-3 years… we’ve learned to be very patient. On a much happier note, our 7th Annual Fun(d) Raising [...]

Spring is in the air at Lost Creek Hippies Vineyard!
It feels like Spring at Lost Creek Vineyards and Summer is around the corner! We have continued to make gradual progress in our Apple Orchard. The orchard remains secured from the predations of deer and rabbits, with 9-10 foot high barbed wire fence, Irish Spring soap in socks, and twirling old CDs. We’re planting another [...]
