Apple
Acres Farm has been in the Johnson family since 1949.
Leighton (aka Pappy) Johnson bought the farm and started raising apples
and chickens. The apples survived, chickens didn't. 30 years later,
Pappy was ready to retire so he put the farm up for sale. Son Bill
couldn't bear to see it sold so quit his job and moved his family back
to the farm in 1979 where he continued (and still does) the apple
farming tradition. He replanted many of the old orchards, built a
beautiful gift store, acquired a commercial cider press and slowly built
the business up.

Today, Bill, his wife Marilyn, 4 children and grandchildren all help run
the farm. In the last few years they have started a new line of gourmet
apple products, put on an annual
 Bluegrass
Festival at the farm, host a number of family-friendly events and
continue to add new attractions every year. Visit our website often to
find out what is going on at the farm and help continue the Johnson
apple farming tradition.
