Fuhrmann Orchards, LLC is a family owned agriculture business that grows apples, peaches, nectarines, melons, vegetables of all kinds, cut flowers, fall squash and pumpkins.
Paul’s parents, Pete and Susan began Fuhrmann Orchards LLC in 1958. Pete was a professional baseball pitcher and during spring training his shoulder went out. During this time, an injury of this extent ended his baseball career; thus Pete and Susie came back home to the farm. Pete’s parents owned a summer farm that had a few apple trees and some acreage. From this land, Pete and Susie built the apple orchard from the ground up. Initially the orchard started as greenhouses, but many changes have occurred over the last 60 years.
Now encompassing over 120 acres, Paul and Leanne Fuhrmann and their five children (Lora Lee, Abby, Melanie, Andrew, Jeremy) take great pride in growing some of the best tasting, freshest, locally grown fruits and vegetables for the families of the OH-KY-WV tri-state area. The Fuhrmanns are passionate about the fruits and vegetables they grow because farming is their life and full time job. Paul and Leanne are graduates of Purdue University where they met and fell in love through the Horticulture Club, both specializing in Horticulture Production & Marketing, and Agriculture Economics.
