Our Story

Vermeer Orchard Inc. is a family-owned and operated apple farm run by Ben and Christine Vermeer and their children. Located on 200 acres of productive orchard, we are dedicated to growing premium-quality apples for families to enjoy.

 

Christine comes from multiple generations of apple growers, with her father and brother continuing the family farming tradition today. Ben's family brings generations of experience in Dutch floral horticulture, creating a strong foundation of agricultural knowledge and innovation.

 

As our business has grown, we have continued to invest in the future. In 2018, we added five Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage rooms, followed by grading, packaging, shipping facility, and four additional CA rooms in 2021. Most recently, in 2025, we expanded once again with 11 new CA storage rooms, significantly increasing our storage capacity and our ability to deliver fresh, high-quality apples year-round.Today, we grow popular varieties including Ambrosia, Honeycrisp, and Gala, combining generations of farming experience with modern growing, storage, and packing practices.

 

From caring for every tree in our orchard to seeing our apples on grocery store shelves, we take pride in producing quality fruit and sharing the rewards of our hard work with families across our community.
