Daniel & Carol Maurer embarked on an exhilarating journey: transitioning from the vast western prairie of North Dakota to embracing the vibrant urban lifestyle of Saint Paul, before finally discovering the delight of nurturing an orchard in the picturesque May Township near Marine on Saint Croix, Minnesota.

Driven by passion and a commitment to excellence, Bumblebee Orchard is a thriving, ever-evolving haven of fruit production. Alongside our favorite native pollinator—the endearing bumblebee—Daniel and his dedicated crew are on a mission to cultivate exceptional heritage and innovative varieties of apples, pears, pumpkins, and beyond. During the off-season, Daniel showcases his creative talents as a freelance writer and author.
