Let our fruit make you smile.

We are a family run Orchard located 4 and 1/2 miles north of Montevideo on Highway 29. Our family consists of Dave, Avis, our daughter and two sons.

Our goals are to provide for you the best tasting fruit we can produce.

Our Apple Business is a Family Affair     

Farm History

We purchased the farm in 1974 and have been developing its tree and fruit capacity ever since.  We built our Retail Store in 1986, added in several trees and started an "Apples by The Honor System" at the end of the driveway in 1995.

Our Safe Food Pledge:

We are determined to provide good tasting apples for our customers, using the least toxic and fewest sprays possible.  We began our Orchard after consulting with other orchardists who had worked with Robert Rodale of "Organic Farming and Gardening". The beneficial insects, birds and amphibians we see in our Orchard are our best indication that this is working
