Our Rich Heritage
In 2008, Christ Orchard proudly celebrates our 31th year in operation.
The orchard was initially planted by the Midland Coal Company in the early
1970s. Later, when the orchard came into production, Elmwood school's FFA
organization was asked to tend and operate the land. As a high school student,
Kurt Christ was integrally involved in the care of the orchard. Upon Kurt's
graduation, he first rented and ultimately purchased the orchard in the
mid-1980s.
Family Owned and Operated
Kurt and his father, Walter, have been the primary caretakers through the years.
Kurt and his wife, Connie, along with their five children, work together as a
close-knit family unit to operate the orchard and meet the needs of our
customers. Additionally, Kurt's mother, Doris, and sister, Melinda, provide
invaluable assistance to the orchard's smooth operation.
