Since 1946, family values have been at the core of Dawson’s business. Their mission is to provide you with the highest quality produce as well as outstanding service.

George and Janet Dawson established Dawson's Orchards in 1946, raising chickens and growing fruit. By the early 1960s, the chicken business flew the coop, and the fruit was there to stay. In 1981 their youngest child, Carolyn and her husband Kevin, made the decision to return to the farm after college, updating the plantings and quickly growing the wholesale segment. In addition to the orchard work, they were raising three children of their own. Kevin died suddenly in July of 2000, but thankfully the trees kept producing fruit and customers continued to buy it. In 2008, Carolyn remarried to Scott McQuiston, who coordinated the orchard's food safety department until his passing in late 2021.

Dawson's Orchards continues to grow as Carolyn, along with two of her children, Karen and Stephen, strive to improve as growers, packers and stewards of the land. They grow apples, blackberries, blueberries, pears, nectarines, and peaches.

You can be sure the family at Dawson's Orchards is braced for the challenges of the future and provide healthy, safe, delicious choices to you and your family for years to come!
