About Me
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Joe and Jenny Fahey never thought about farming as a career. Joe finished his nuclear medical technology internship and Jenny began her career as a CPA when they married and settled in the area. As the family began to expand with Abby, then Charlie, Joe started a medical staffing company. However, it was the demand of dual careers and active children that created an opportunity to sell the staffing company and re-prioritize. During this time, Joe’s chemistry background propelled him to try growing apple trees organically in the backyard. He was told multiple times it could not be done in the Midwest. With that, Joe was set on proving them wrong. He planted, organically managed, and cropped 14 trees. In only a couple of years, he produced the most amazing tasting fruit. The obvious next step was to think bigger. One of the largest certified organic apple orchards in the Midwest: In 2009 Joe and Jenny purchased a portion of the current 80 acre property. Like most Wisconsin cropland, it had historically been planted in a corn/soy rotation. There were no nutrients or infrastructure, but plenty of rocks! And so it began.. We are a family owned and operated certified organic apple orchard in Southeastern Wisconsin. We grow and sell over 30 different varieties of apples. At the farm, we press our own fresh organic cider use only our own apples in our homemade pies and make many other apple products.
