Dickie Bros. Orchard
A Growing Tradition
Circa 1752
Dickie Bros. Orchard is always filled with
fresh fruit, friendly smiles and loyal friends gathering
to enjoy the tastes of harvest.
We hope you will join us this season as well.
What have we been up to?
Well...
We added oranges and strawberries to our 151 Farm Market in Afton.
We are increasing our Angus cattle herd. All our cattle are bred, born and raised on our farm in Roseland.
We removed some older trees from the orchard to increase sunlight distribution on our fruit. This production management will continue our tradition of providing that sweet spot of healthy and beautiful fruit here at Dickie Bros. Orchard.
Our 151 Farm Market in Afton has fresh fruit from our orchard as well as some fresh from the kitchen creations including apple fritters, apple bread, pies, cookies and more.
Yummy
We are continuing to bring our products to multiple farmers markets.
Look for us in Lexington on Wednesdays and in Staunton on Saturdays.
