Our Story
We are Emily and Dillon Martin. We grew up in Maple Grove, MN, but have been a part of the New London/Spicer community for generations.
Emily's grandmother, Dorothy Lasher, grew up on Green Lake, and played with Dorothy Spicer at the castle. Many may know her for her "Deep Freeze" of treats on hot summer day.
Dillon grew up visiting his family's hunting land on Timber Lake for 25 years. His great grandmother and grandfather started their homestead on Lake Henry over 85 years ago. His great aunt & uncle are the wonderful Anna and Stu Erickson!
Old Mill Orchard was formerly known as Glacial Ridge Winery, then The Land. It has a rich history of memories, and we plan to continue with the traditions and creating new memories in the same way. Continuing with the Thursday night outdoor concert series, wine tasting and pairings, Grape Stomps, Murder Mystery dinners, picking apples, and much more!
