Orchard Landing Flies In For A Visit
30 Aug
Today we had a presentation from Karen Greiner of Orchard Landing. She told us all about how, along with her husband, the idea for a local orchard came to be.
Started in 2015, with 400 trees, they have “grown” their business, located on Beatty Hollow Road near Hanover, to include 15 varieties of apples. They also offer honey, maple syrup, jellies, pumpkins and apple cider donuts. Whether you drive or fly in (yes they have their own landing strip) it’s a must for a Fall excursion.
