OUR FARM

Oaklane Orchards has been growing high quality, farm fresh apples, pears, and plums since 1973.  In 2018, the Fox and Close families bought the orchard and expanded the acreage from 50 to 130 acres by merging with an adjacent farm.  We have since added 6,200 new trees bringing the farms total to approximately 45,000 trees!  

We are open for the season!
