Our Story
Center Grove Orchard, owned and operated by the Larry D. Black Family, has been open to the public since 1994. The first apple trees were planted in 1986. We now have over 18 acres with 4,500 apple trees and 31 varieties of apples!
We are a working farm and apple orchard. We want our guests to experience a lively farm atmosphere and gather as many happy memories as apples. We work to provide our visitors with an enjoyable, educational experience in a peaceful country setting.
