Welcome to the Orchards at Root & Branch Farms! We have a diverse collection of orchards, each carefully tended to bring you the freshest, most flavorful fruit the season has to offer. Whether you’re looking for a classic snacking apple or a rare, custardy pawpaw, our trees are brimming with variety.
The Apple Orchard
From the deep, mahogany crunch of the Arkansas Black to the sweet snap of a Honeycrisp, our apple selection spans the full spectrum of flavor and texture. Whether you’re baking a pie with McIntosh, making applesauce with Cortland, or enjoying a crisp Pink Lady for a healthy snack, we grow the perfect apple for every palate.

Varieties: Arkansas Black, Cortland, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Pink Lady, and Winesap.
The Pawpaw Orchard
Experience the “Kentucky Banana,” the only tropical fruit native to North America. Pawpaws have a unique, custard-like texture and a flavor reminiscent of banana, mango, and citrus. Because they are delicate and rare, they are a true seasonal highlight you won’t want to miss.
The Pear Orchard
Enjoy the best of both worlds with our pear collection. We grow crisp, juicy Asian pears that provide a refreshing crunch, as well as buttery, fragrant European pears that melt in your mouth.
The Persimmon Orchard
We grow multiple varieties of Asian and American persimmons. Choose from firm, sweet non-astringent types you can eat like an apple, or soft, honey-like astringent varieties (best enjoyed when soft and jelly-like), perfect for puddings and baking.
