For more than 30 years, Anne and Chuck Geyer have worked cooperatively with other family farms growing exceptional fruit in the Mid-Atlantic growing region. Agriberry Farm provides direct support to those multi-generational farm families by helping to connect the bounty of their fields and orchards to a broader range of markets and CSA members. Here are some of our favorite multi-year Partner Farmers:

Adams County Nurseries, Aspers, PA

The Baugher Family

One of our longest running and most beneficial partnerships is with the Baugher family, owners of Adams County Nurseries, which recently celebrated it’s 110th anniversary. These expert growers of nursery stock for orchards and back-yard enthusiasts all over the country specialize in varieties we love–the ones that taste the best!

They have extensive acreage in production to help ensure that their grafting material and root stocks are of the very highest quality. When they have something ripe and ready for market, we go to their orchard and bring it back to our farm for sale or use in our kitchen. We love that they don’t “over manage” their fruit production, and that we can get “run of the tree,” ungraded apples.

Crown Orchard

The Henry Chiles Family

For over one hundred years, the Chiles Family has been carefully tending its orchards. Beginning with a card table, cigar box, and roadside stand, the first generation of the Chiles Family sold the fruit of their labors to neighbors and folks passing through. Since that time, the orchards have grown to become community favorites and destinations for visitors far and wide.

Today, at one time or another, the third, fourth, and fifth generations of the Chiles Family can be found planting, pruning, picking, or otherwise providing fresh produce to Central Virginia and beyond. Here’s their website.

One of the region’s most accomplished growers of a wide variety of vegetables and tree fruits, the Hollabaugh family’s now four-generation orchard began in 1955, founded by twin brothers Donald and Harold (pictured with Anne) Hollabaugh. Their children, and children’s children, have carried on and expanded the orchards and opportunities. Best of all, the family is absolutely committed to applying the highest standards of food and environmental safety to everything they grow.
