Where it started
In the early days, Owen Orchards grew just a few trees and apple varieties—McIntosh, Cortland, and maybe six others—on a stretch of land way back in the distance off Route 5, located between Elbridge and Auburn, New York. The current Owen Orchard location now spans 30 acres dedicated to more than 25 varieties of apples.
