About Us...
In the early 1900's, the Irons Family did general
farming. The second generation began growing potatoes and
apples. The first orchards
were planted in the late 1930's and the
first apple crop was sold in the early 1940's. Apple cider was
made and sold also. Later, a large cold storage was built and a
large horse barn was transformed into a salesroom, which is still in use
today.
The third generation began growing strawberries, tart
cherries, peaches, pumpkins and vegetables. These were followed by
blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. A seasonal bakery and
ice cream were added to compliment the market.
The fourth generation makes apple cider in a modern
mill, which is also used as a cannery for our apple butter, jams and
jellies. A greenhouse was built in 1999 allowing us to grow vegetable plants
for our field crops.
On Fall weekdays, we offer fun and educational orchard
tours, as well as, hayrides to pick pumpkins for 10 or more people, by
reservation. On Fall weekends, our 12-acre corn maze and hayrides to
pick pumpkins are available without reservations. Our bakery is busy
making pies, apple fritters, cider donuts, caramel apples and more.
Enjoy our friendly farm animals, a chance to picnic on the farm, special
events, foods and activities.
You can also find us at
Country Applefest in downtown Lebanon
each year around the end of September. We sell apples, cider,
fritters, donuts, pies and apple butter!
In November and December, we take orders for holiday
pies. The last weekend in November and the first three weekends in
December, visitors can make mini-gingerbread houses (a tradition of BIG
memories since December 2000, make it one of yours!) Also available are
gift baskets, gift certificates and apple shipping. Our gourmet apple
butter, jams and fresh apple cider are always a special treat anytime!
