Russell Orchards

The main barn houses the retail store at Russell Orchards.

Miranda and Doug Russell took over the orchard from Doug’s parents in 2008.

The Orchard’s pond and barn where the animals live.

Signs tell pickers what kind of apples they’re putting in their bags.

Doug says it can be hard to look at all the fallen fruit after working so hard to grow it.

Apples, anyone?

Doug’s father diversified the farm to include other fruit when he bought it in the ’70s.

Raspberries ripe for the picking.

School tours bring in money on the weekdays for the Russells.

Everybody loves pumpkins.

Baked goods await hungry apple pickers inside the retail store.

What’s apple picking without an apple cider doughnut or two (or five)?

“If you Google us, most of the pictures you’ll see involve this truck,” said Doug.
