What comes from this place.

North Star is a grower-led orchard rather than a place built around a single familiar apple. The farm says it cultivates a wide collection of fruit varieties, including apples, plums, peaches, pears, and grapes, alongside vegetables. Its produce goes directly to customers through local farmers’ markets, a CSA, and a seasonal farm store, so the way to shop can change with the time of year. The farm’s story also includes its own apple-breeding work: one variety, Monolith, began as a cross made by the growers and is now sold through their markets. Check the operator’s current visit and market information before traveling, especially outside harvest season.
