About Heirloom Apples at Freeman Orchards LLC

Please welcome J&M Farms as the new operators of Heirloom Apples. Same location. Many apple varieties, produce, cider, pies, local wine, and much more!

Freeman Orchards is family owned and operated since 1934. We grow over 50 varieties of apples. Peaches and early varieties of apples begin to ripen mid-August. We also offer local produce, preserves, honey, molasses, and pickles. And everyone's favorite: Fried Apple Pies

Our family centered staff have decades of experience and can assist you in finding just the right varieties of apples. Let's talk about old varieties and see if we can't identify something you remember from your childhood. We encourage customers to sample apples to find their favorites. See the list of varieties below.

Our freshly baked items include artisan fried pies, muffins, and apple bread. The roadside stand is surrounded by apple and peach trees, providing picture perfect opportunities. Enjoy the experience of walking in the orchards. Children can pick an apple for their own.

We are open Wednesday-Sunday. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. Hours 9am-5:30 pm. Seasonal mid August - October.


We grow more than 50 varieties of apples. Availability varies with the season.
