Few farms have the longevity and tradition of Apple Castle, a family orchard that has been growing apples for over 150 years. Six generations of the Johnston family have dedicated their lives to growing apples and the lifestyle that goes with it, and as a seventh generation appears on the scene, the family shows no signs of slowing.

Through the generations, Apple Castle has always strived to provide high-quality fruit and vegetables at fair prices.In 1861, Josiah Smith Johnston settled along what is now Route 18 in New Wilmington. The original plot was much larger, but included the land the family still lives on and operates today. The original operation included both an orchard and dairy cows.
