About Us
Currently Rogers’ Orchards is comprised of 275 acres. Twenty varieties of apples and fifteen varieties of peaches are grown, as well as nectarines, apricots, plums, pumpkins, flowers, and herbs. Apples and peaches are sold wholesale throughout the state directly to supermarkets. All the fruits, along with Rogers’ Orchards famous apple cider donuts, pies, locally grown vegetables and other specialty food items, are also sold at the two retail salesrooms, one located at the west end of the Shuttle Meadow Reservoir and the other at the top of Southington Mountain in the Marion section of Southington.
