About the Farm
Background
Coffey's Orchard at Coffey Grounds is a small Century Farm known for selling apples in season. The farm has a rich history of providing fresh produce and fall decorations, and it has become a local staple for its educational farm tours and fiber arts programs. The farm does not offer pick-your-own apples and prefers cash transactions over credit or debit cards.
Practices
The farm follows Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and conventional farming practices. These methods are designed to manage pests in an environmentally and economically sustainable way, reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides while maintaining crop health and productivity.
The Rest
From mid-September to mid-October, the farm offers educational tours primarily for school children, providing insights into life on a small mountain farm. Year-round fiber arts programs are available, showcasing traditional crafts and techniques. Visitors can enjoy family wagon rides, learn about the area's history and geography, and take in the beautiful scenery. The farm emphasizes the importance of buying local to support community resilience, strengthen community ties, and preserve local heritage.
