Lost Nation Apple Barn Hours 2026

Stop by the farm this fall for tasty heirloom apple varieties, apple products like cider syrup and apple butter, herbal products, books, and more!

Michael planted Lost Nation Orchard over 30 years ago and we have around 350 trees and over 100 varieties of apples today. We grow apples holistically, focusing on the health of the tree, the soil, and the orchard ecosystem as a whole. We grow special heirloom varieties as well as more modern favorites.
