After over 60 years of farming in Northern Michigan, it has come time for us to sell the orchard and retire from the antique apple business.
We want to thank you all for so many great years of supporting us, enjoying the taste and unique history of the 200+ varieties of apples we grew in our orchard, drinking countless gallons of our fresh farm pressed cider, and simply being a part of the Kilcherman summer family.
