It was not until 1826 that William’s son O.C. traveled to Ohio to clear the land for farming. O.C. built the house that currently sits on the land.

In the early 1900’s Joseph Burnham II married Margaret Tillinghast, and they became farm owners. Later their son Oliver was involved with the farm and planted the 1st commercial orchard of 14 acres of apples and 6 acres of peaches. Although he held another job, Oliver was keenly interested in the orchard business, especially with peaches.

It wasn’t until Joseph III began operating the farm full-time some 40 years ago that the transition into today’s operation occurred. The fruit became a focal point under his direction. Over the years, nearby land was added to expand the operation, which today includes over 35 acres of peaches, 200 acres of apples, and some 600 acres of additional land.

The operation has always prided itself on giving consumers a high-quality product and being on the cutting edge of new varieties. They were one of the 1st to bring the Fuji Apple to Ohio.

We are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality fruits, and our farm is carefully tended to ensure the best possible flavors. From juicy apples to succulent peaches, we grow fruits that delight your taste buds.
