This farm is rooted deep in history, with Dairy farming that goes back over 125 years back. Nestled in a valley, in an area where the weather can be as rustic as the land itself, this zone 4 climate is similar to many southern Canada fruit farms where the trees have to fight for survival in the winter months and flourish with greenery and vibrant fruit crops through the summer and into the fall seasons. The original barn, silo and ice house are still up and intact. These structures were built between the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Dairy cows roaming the same grounds where the apple trees are planted are one of the main reasons why the farm yields such high level quality fruit each year. The hard work that was poured into this land by the families from years ago have transferred into today’s Gerstner Farm team applying equal effort and pride in making this a special place. As many have said before, “you never really own a piece of land, rather – you just take care of it for a while”.
