Dawson’s Orchards has always been a family owned business with the mission to provide you with the highest quality produce as well as outstanding service. Located in rural Enon Valley, PA, it was established back in 1946 when George and Janet Dawson purchased around 45 acres of land from George’s parents and planted some of the first fruit trees. Throughout the 1960’s, George and Janet raised both fruit and chickens. Eventually, the “chicken house” became the “packing house”, which is where all the fruit is packed today. At present, about 30 of the acres owned are actually farmed. Most of that acreage is taken up by apples, with about 2 acres of pear trees, 5 of peaches and nectarines, and an assortment of berries and prune plums. Dawson’s Orchards also brokers watermelon and packs apples for wholesale trade. They love what they do because it provides food that is both delicious and healthy.

The Robertson Family started out growing produce and had their farm Certified Organic from 2000 to 2005, when they switched to Certified Naturally Grown (www.naturallygrown.org), a grass-roots alternative to the federal organic program. They sold their produce through local farmers markets, co-operatives and through a CSA they established in 2004. After their girls came along, their priorities changed and they realized they needed to re-evaluate their farming operation and after quite a bit of introspection and “re-visioning” their farm, they developed their Gardens From Earth concept. The busy season has shifted to allow greater flexibility during the summer season, and they can still enjoy building relationships with their customers beyond the point of sale by providing garden “technical support.”
