The apple trees are planted across 100 acres and start blooming the beginning of April with white blooms.

Apples will be growing and full on the branches from September through the end of October.

We take a pre-order for apple and peach trees at the beginning of each season, usually starting in December.  It is recommended to order the trees as soon as possible since there are limited quantities.  All trees come in five gallon buckets, and are to be picked-up at the orchard usually towards the end of March, which is as soon as it is safe to plant the trees.  If you are unsure of the pick up date, check our website, Facebook Page, or our Instagram.  

Below is the link to order grow-your-own trees.  This site also provides you with a detailed description and type of apple and peach trees available.

We sell peaches in a woven wooden 8 quart market basket (~10lbs).

We sell our apples by the half-peck (~5lbs or 12 apples,) the peck (~10lbs or 24 apples,) the half-bushel (~20 lbs or 50 apples,) or the bushel (~40lbs, 100 apples, the WHOLE box.) Four pecks make a bushel.

We grow our own peaches, nectarines, watermelons, tomatoes, okra, squash, beans, and apples. The sweet potatoes we sell come from our neighbors next door!

We accept cash, all major credit/debit cards, checks, Apple Pay, Andriod Pay, and FMNP vouchers. We do not accept EBT cards at this time.

The peaches we sell are always picked the morning of or the day before.

We do! The fall of 2017 was our first year to offer Pick-Your-Own apples to the public. Thanks to all our customers, it was a great success! We have many new plans to expand in the future years.

We will start taking reservations August 1, 2018 for our fall operations tour.

A freestone peach will fall right off the pit when cut in half. Thus, the freestone peach is great for eating and highly favorited for cooking and canning. The fruit inside of a clingstone peach does not fall off of the pit. Thus, still making it a great peach to eat though not favored for cooking and freezing.

Peach season always starts in June. Our freestone peaches start coming in after the Fourth of July. We then role straight into apple season which always starts on Labor Day. The best time to come for apples is the first of October which is the time we have the most variety. We normally sell apples through November/December.

Yes, we are a conventional farm. We have a very intense IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program. We use weather models, computer forecasts, and visual observations to only target specific diseases and pests during any particular spray.

Our web-store is up and running and onlines orders can be placed on it.

We farm 1,200 acres. We have 150 acres in fruit trees: 90 acres in apples and 60 in peaches.
