About Us

We are a small, family owned and operated, fruit orchard.

After long careers in Law and Technology, my wife and I elected to desert our kids to their careers and retire to a nice quiet spot in Middle Tennessee. However, while God directed us to our new home he apparently had no intention that we should retire !

Shortly after arriving and settling in, Jerry Self, owner and operator of 31 South Barbecue, who was in no small part responsible for us buying our home, introduced us to the recently retired, somewhat eccentric, EJ Smith. EJ had, until recently, owned and operated the Smith Orchard on Highway 166 with his wife Wanda. To make a long story short EJ got us started in the orchard business.

Today, with EJ’s guidance, and now with Bill Forgie of Forgie’s Orchard’s guidance and some of his equipment, we are operating our own orchard. Bill & Vicki Forgie closed their orchard for good at the end of the 2021 season.

We are truly blessed to have met such wonderful, helpful, people.

Come and visit us soon !
