CENTURY TREES

Our orchard is home to three 100-year-old apple trees. We diligently care for our friends on the farm and are propagating them for future generations. Read more about our history below.

OUR APPLES

Lineman has been the home to apple trees since 1910. We presently have nine varieties of apples many of which have been enjoyed here in Western PA for generations. We also have Red Barlett pears.

ORCHARD HISTORY

The Lineman Fruit Farm was started in 1910 by Allison Lineman. The Farm remained in the Lineman Family for three generations, from 1910 through July 2017, creating many fond memories for families throughout the Meadville region. Undergoing several transformations over the years, the Farm was re-designed in the last decade to create the new expanded apple orchard, three ponds and a cider house. Spanning over 14 acres, the Farm has over 1,400 fruit trees with eight varieties of apples as well as Red Bartlett pears.
