Established in 1966 on a deserted dairy farm by the Crooke family, our orchard underwent a transition in ownership for 17 years, operating under the name Horse Listener’s Orchard. However, in homage to the original family and due to the pervasive local preference, we reverted to the name Crookes.

Specializing in a diverse selection of apples, including heirloom and cider varieties, as well as peaches, nectarines, and blueberries, we provide both U-pick opportunities and a convenient on-site store.
