Visit us at our farm market in Wheelersburg, Ohio from July-December or at 3 farmer's markets we attend May-Oct! "Growing Quality Southern Ohio Fruit Since 1958"
Fuhrmann Orchards LLC began in 1958 with a few apples trees on a family acreage by Pete and Susan Fuhrmann. Now encompassing over 120 acres, Paul and Leanne Fuhrmann and their five children (Lora Lee, Abby, Melanie, Andrew, Jeremy) take great pride in growing some of the best tasting, freshest, locally grown fruits and vegetables for the families of the tri-state area. We are passionate about the fruits and vegetables we grow because farming is our life and full time job. Paul and Leanne are graduates of Purdue University and specialize in horticulture production, marketing, and agriculture economics. Everything we sell has been grown on our orchard and it has all been hand-picked by us. We pick our produce at the peak of ripeness for the best taste and quality in every bite. Specializing in apples, peaches, nectarines, melons, pumpkins, corn, beans, peppers, berries, tomatoes, gourds, and squash. Locally grown and picked at the peak of ripeness for the best tasting fruit and vegetables.

We offer School tours of the orchard in the fall where youth can learn about apples, go into the orchard and see the apples on the trees, see how we wash and package the apples, and even take an apple home with them. School Tours occur in September and October, and we are open to all ages, and can adjust the tour as needed. Our largest age group is K-1st grade, but we have accommodated middle school and also high school culinary students, along with home school. We also offer Girl Scout, Boy Scout, church groups, flower clubs, gardener clubs, etc tours morning and evening.
