The story of our orchard starts in 1960, when I started picking apples during high school as a weekend job. After arriving in Jonestown, PA in 1972, I planted 4 apple trees. During the next 20 years, I added approximately 300 dwarf apple trees and numerous peach trees.. Our orchard is presently a self serve facility with approximately 12 varieties, starting the first week in September through October. The cider season starts in late September through the end of October. Please enjoy our nature trail, which goes by the Swatara Creek. Also check out our friendly beef cows, but keep children away from the fence, which has an electric wire.
