The Aaron family heartily welcomes you
to
visit
and
browse! We take pride in
offering
the
third
generation of personalized
service
and a
friendly,
helpful atmosphere.
Mack Aaron's Apple House has a history
of
expertise
in growing apples in Gilmer
County
that dates
back
to 1944. Bill's father,
Mack,
was
only 4 years old
when
his parents,
Otis Shafter Aaron and
Reba
Ellis Aaron
purchased
a farm of over 200 acres
from
Bob
Ayers to produce apples for both
commercial
and retail sales. Popular apples of
the
time
have
included Red Delicious,
Rome Beauty,
Ben Davis,
Shockley,
Limbertwig
and
Detroit
Reds, Arkansas Blacks, Yates, and Gilmer
Pippin.
Some
of
these varieties have
been
replaced with heartier,
more
popular ones.
We are continuing to improve our products. We have planted over 1500 new apple
trees of varieties such as September Wonder (Fuji), Pink Ladys, Honeycrisp,
Blondees and Cameos.
In 1977 Mack and Joyce Aaron built nearby on
the current location,
opening for
the
1978 season. The family oriented business continued
wholesale
and retail
sales
with emphasis on friendly
service.
In 2008
Mack
and Joyce
turned
day to day
operations
over to their son and
daughter-in-law, Bill and Gina Aaron.
In addition to apples, peaches and nectarines, we also offer several other
types of
produce as well as a multitude of tasty goodies ready to
enjoy.
Special care
is
given
to the delicious hand made fried pies. You are
guaranteed to find at least
11
varieties
to choose from! Come by soon and
pick your favorites!
