The Connell Family Orchard was established in 1858 by the late great, great, great, grandpa James Connell. What started out as land used for lumber with the Black River stage coach running through it grew into the orchard it is today.

There are seven generations of the Connell family that work at the orchard. Currently, Richard J. Connell & family own and operate this wonderful family business!
