A PROUD TRADITION OF FAMILY FARMING
As you ride along the rural roads in Upper Montgomery County, you will still see a large number of beautiful farms with historic homes and barns that serve as a connection with our past. Every one of these farms has a story. Our story started in 1907, when Edwin and Minerva Horine stumbled across a parcel of land that looked like the perfect place to live and raise two sons and a daughter.
For 25 years, the Horine family farmed the land in a very traditional way, as thousands of farm families did during that era. In 1932, Phil Horine, the eldest son, had an idea to help his farm family weather the Depression – PEACHES!! While not commonly grown in the area, Phil introduced peaches to the community and found that the trees flourished and produced fruit with a distinctively sweet flavor. more
