Bains Orchard

About Bains Orchard

In 1977 Edward and JoAnne Bain started planting fruit trees and providing fresh produce to the communities of Hillsboro, Manchester and Tullahoma.  50 years later the Gartung and Graf families have purchased the farm with the intention of restoring the beautiful orchard.  

Farm is for family.  New Owners Johnathan Graf and his uncle Simon Gartung have brought their families to help in the restoration.  Johnathan and Jenifer Graf have two children, Mia and Miles, and a little Boston named Marley.  Simon and Chrissy Gartung have a daughter Elin, Poodle Finn, and father Johnny Gann.  Everyone in the family has been helping.  Even the grand parents who have lent their sheep to help keep the grass eaten in the orchard.  Founder Ed Bain has stopped in as well to offer some advice and encouragement.  We have managed to make significant improvements to the barn and orchard in year 1 and continue to work to towards reestablishing the trees and other farm infrastructure in year 2.
