Terhune Orchards 50th Anniversary Celebrations

Terhune Orchards is marking its 50th anniversary with a yearlong celebration honoring its legacy of farming, family, and community.

Since the Mount family purchased the 55-acre farm in 1975, Terhune Orchards has been bringing farm-fresh produce, its own award-winning wines, and unforgettable experiences to Mercer County and beyond.

The current 250-acre farm, recognized by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as a sustainable farm, has grown from a small family farm into a popular destination attracting visitors from near and far for apple, pumpkin, and fruit picking, live music and wine tasting, family-fun activities, educational programs, and more.

Over the decades, the farm has expanded to 5 different properties producing over 60 crops, including certified organic vegetables. The Mounts have introduced Pick-Your-Own produce, a bakery known for its iconic cider donuts, trend setting educational programs, and an award-winning vineyard and winery.
