About Us

What are we?
Orchard Dale Fruit Farms began as a family farm in 1804. We have grown a wide variety of fruit for wholesale and retail markets. "Grandma" Brown fought off the British during the War of 1812, and over our 200 years of history, we have adapted agricultural practices to try to remain competitive.

Brown's Berry Patch was added to the operation 20 years ago to offer visitors:

the opportunity to pick-your-own fruit
experience how fruit is grown on a farm
special events
farm market
country gift shop and gourmet foods
deli, bakery, grill
ice cream and fresh baked pies
Barnyard Adventure play area and farm animals for children

Who are we?
Over the years, seven generations of Browns have operated the farm which today is known as Orchard Dale Fruit Farms and Brown's Berry Patch. Currently, Robert Brown II and Deborah oversee marketing of the operation; brother, Eric Brown runs the agricultural side. Seven family members work on the farm.

When are we open?
Brown's Berry Patch is open daily April through October for visitors. Schools, groups, and motorcoach tours are available by appointment -
