We grow 20 varieties of apples, pears and peaches in our orchard including several heirloom varieties.

Our apples are not waxed and are sold in 5 lb, 10 lb and 1/2 bushel bags, mix and match your favourite varieties!.
We also press our own fresh, unpasteurized apple cider from a custom blend of apples. Our cider is well-known throughout Huron County. If you haven't tried it yet then you better soon!
