    Our Story

    About Us

    Welcome to our orchard!

    We are a family-owned orchard nestled in the heart of Maine, proudly growing a variety of apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, apricots, and more. While our orchard has a long history, our journey as orchard owners is just beginning.

    In March 2026, we purchased the farm with a dream of creating a place where families, friends, and neighbors can connect with nature, enjoy fresh local fruit, and make lasting memories together. As first-time orchard owners, we are learning something new every day and embracing the challenges and rewards that come with caring for the land.

    Our vision is to create more than just a place to pick fruit. We hope to build a welcoming destination where visitors can experience the beauty of each season, from spring blossoms to fall harvests. Whether you're visiting for fresh-picked fruit, a stroll through the orchard, or a photo among the sunflowers, we are excited to share this special place with you.

    Thank you for supporting our family and being part of our story. We look forward to growing with our community and welcoming you to the orchard for years to come.
