Carlson Orchards
was founded in 1936 by Walter and Eleanor Carlson. In the
thirties and forties, they made their living from a
diversified farm of chickens, cows, potatoes and apples. In
the late sixties, the farm specialized in fruits with apples
being the main crop. The Carlsons are dedicated to growing
the best tree fruits, blueberries, raspberries, and pumpkins
as well as producing the best tasting apple cider available
anywhere.
Carlson Orchards now grows fruit on 140 acres producing:
-
60,000
bushels of apples
-
5,000 baskets
of peaches and nectarines
-
Over 500,000
gallons of apple cider annually.
Flash
pasteurization of our cider enables us to continue to
produce and sell the highest quality of apple cider. Our
products are sold and distributed by us throughout New
England to farmstands, wholesalers, and major chainstore
super markets such as Wholefoods, Shaw's, Star Markets,
Foodmaster, Donelans, and others.
Today Bruce, Frank and Robert Carlson, the three proud sons
of Walter & Eleanor, are dedicated to maintaining their
family's fine reputation and the great tradition of high
quality apple and apple products that was born over 63 years
ago. |
