Farm Fresh Happenings from Minnetonka Orchards

Huh!

I was just at the orchard earlier this morning - here is the video of my dog Star.  She was in heaven - when I eat honeycrisps at home, she sits about 8 inches away from my face and stares at me... drooling the entire time.  This trip made her month.  :-)  Let me know if you have any trouble viewing it.
