About Us

One of the best ways to describe our farm is as a friendly, homegrown family farm. In 1975, Jerry and Vyanne Chandler bought a grain farm in Fillmore, Indiana and converted it into an orchard. The farm had a very meager start; the first trees where grafted by hand in 1975 and then planted in the orchard in 1976 with just 230 trees and some basic farm equipment.  After over 37 years of hard work and the help of parents Elmer and Marguerite, and oldest son Matt and his wife Lisa, Jerry Chandler turned this family owned and operated orchard into what it is now- 52 acres of land, 17 of which are dedicated entirely to apples. At one time, the orchard was home to over 250 varieties of apples.

The orchard has a beautiful country store located on US 40 packed with jams, jellies, take and bake pies cheeses, sauces, fresh produce and much more. We are proud to offer locally raised meats. We have partnerships with two local producers, LT Farm Meats and The Double D Cattle Farm  https://doubledcattlefarm.com/

In August of 2024, Matt and Lisa purchased the orchard from Jerry and Vyanne. With the help of their children, Elijah, Cort, and Noelle, they are proud to spend their time working on the farm our family proudly built.

The highlight of our family farm is our apples. Matt, his father Jerry, and Grandfather Elmer are three generations of men with experience growing apples. Our farm not only raises and sells apples, but we also offer our own rhubarb, tomatoes, sweet corn, honey, and other locally grown produce.

We have also added U-pick flowers to our operation.
