| How to buy | Deal's Orchard is a family owned and operated farm that began in 1917 when Frank Deal moved his family from Illinois and purchased the land that the orchard now occupies. Throughout the past century the Deals have grown and diversified the farming operation through the addition of fresh produce such as sweetcorn, tomatoes, and pumpkins as well as agri-entertainment activities that include a corn maze, jumping pillow, u-cut Christmas trees, and pick your own apples. But the core of the business has always focused on the apples and the products created from them- fresh cider, apple pies, cider donuts, and hard cider.
