Since 1990, Ken and Barb Hall have operated the farm that was owned by her parents and grandparents. In 1963, Robert Jr. and Betty Edwards bought the farm from his parents and began transforming it from dairy and row crops to apples and a retail market. The barn that once housed milk cows is The Apple Barn, housing a gift shop, bakery, fudge kitchen, coffee shop, cider mill, packing facility and cold storage. Other outbuildings are now a farm museum and a farm animal barn, part of the agri-tainment package the Halls provide to attract and amuse visitors.
All of their apples are retailed on the farm as pick-your-own or packed in peck and half-peck bags or pressed into apple cider. No fruit is sold through wholesale channels.
They don’t charge admission, but they do price products and many services, like wagon rides for a few bucks.

While there are no real ethnic ties, the choice of Blue Grass bands and Celtic background music generates a Scots-Irish ambiance, as fiddles and other traditional instruments play songs like Barbara Allen. The Sawdust boys’ve been know to low-key their Dead Set to round off the perfect Autumn afternoon.
