A farm with a history

Rooted in the land. Made for generations.

Cedar Creek Orchard began in 1937 as a poultry farm. After finishing school, Ron decided he wanted a different kind of work and planted the first apple trees. Those trees helped shape the farm into the orchard it is today.
Over the generations, the family has continued to adapt, grow and find new ways to use the fruit they produce. What started with apples has grown to include peaches, nectarines and persimmons, alongside orchard-made juice and cider.
Seed to Cider is part of that story: a connection between the trees, the harvest and the care that goes into turning fresh fruit into something to share.
