About

Welcome to Huffstutter Orchards, a family-owned and operated apple orchard nestled in the beautiful landscapes of New Franklin, Missouri. Our journey in the farming business began with a deep-rooted passion for nature, an unwavering commitment to sustainable practices, and a vision of offering the community fresh, delicious, and locally grown produce.

Our History

Huffstutter Orchards was founded on the principles of hard work, dedication, and love for the environment. We are proud to have been a part of the New Franklin community for generations, dating back to the late 19th century when our ancestors planted the first apple seeds on this fertile soil. Over the years, our family has dedicated itself to nurturing these orchards and expanding our farm, all while maintaining our commitment to sustainable farming.

Our Apples

We take immense pride in the quality of our apples, each one bearing testimony to our careful nurturing and commitment to quality. From crisp and tart Granny Smiths to sweet and juicy Honeycrisps, our vast assortment of apple varieties cater to every taste bud. As growers, we respect the changing seasons, and our harvest calendar reflects this. Each apple variety is picked at the peak of its ripeness to ensure the best flavor.

Our Practices

At Huffstutter Orchards, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a way of life. We use environmentally friendly farming techniques, prioritize water conservation, and respect the local ecosystem. Our orchard is a haven for pollinators, and we aim to give back to the earth more than we take from it.

We believe in the importance of educating our community about the value of local, sustainable agriculture. This is why we open our doors for orchard tours and school field trips, where visitors can learn about our farming practices, the apple cultivation process, and the importance of supporting local agriculture.

Our Community

As part of the Franklin community, we believe in giving back. We regularly participate in local farmers’ markets and donate a portion of our harvest to local food banks and charities. We take great joy in seeing our apples enjoyed at local schools, businesses, and family tables.
