![]() Tammy Baking the Yummy Stuff! |
Come Celebrate 104 Years of Family Farming This Year! Farming Since 1903Great Grandfather Charles bought our farm in 1903 and he, Elizabeth and their ten children worked it as a dairy farm. On July 2, 1904 the fruit stand opened under the maple tree which still stands front of the old farmhouse. Fruits and vegetables from the large family garden were sold to bring in extra money. The first commercial apple orchard was planted 1910, mostly in Macintosh. Of the ten children only Ted stayed on to work the farm with his wife Ann. Now, Ted Jr., daughter Tammy and husband Mike Boylan work the farm.Fifth generation farmers Colin, Samantha, and Mackenzie Boylan help in the fruit stand and bakery. | |
Our Apples Go To USA & EuropeNowadays, we have a large apple packing plant and cold storage area behind the fruit stand where you can watch the apples being brought in from the field, sorted, packed into boxes ready to be shipped all over the USA and Europe. Take a self-guided tour of the apple packing plant and storage facilities where our apples rest for up to a year in zero oxygen keeping their just-picked crispy sweetness. |

Ted is responsible for wholesaling the apples, the apple packing and shares responsibility for running the fruit stand with Tammy. Tammy is busy recreating her Grandma Ann's tasty preserves and baked goods in the bakery and leading the fruit stand workers. Mike runs the orchards, trimming, managing the harvest or educating a curious "Pick your own" customer on our whole farm ecology program which includes a low spray technique. |
