About Us

Let’s introduce the family.  Marc and Jeanne both grew up on farms, milking cows and raising crops were a way of life for both of them. Consequently, apple production wasn’t a strange idea.  Celebrating 27 years of marriage, Marc and Jeanne have seven children:  Zeph, Angie, Kyle, Justin, Kaydee, Julie, and Benson.

Zeph, the eldest son is married and living in Tennessee with his wife, Aly.  Angie and her husband, Jeff live in California, while Kyle thankfully married a hometown girl from Blackfoot, Idaho!  Kyle is serving in the military and presently stationed in Afghanistan.  He and wife, Cheyenne have blessed the family with the first grandbaby, Tallyn James, Kaydee, Julie and Benson are still at home making life enjoyable and assisting with the orchard.  With school, piano, baseball, and 4-H, the younger children keep Marc and Jeanne young at heart.

Marc is a pediatric registered nurse for a local hospital and Jeanne is a perioperative registered nurse in the surgical department. Both love the medical field, the apple farm, and their children.  Every year the apple crop pulls the family’s energy together harvesting sweet crisp apples.  Daily life is busy but with God’s love, good family and friends, and fabulous food, life is meaningful.
