Welcome to Beilke Family Farm, we've been at our current location since 1950 and now have four generations working together daily.
Philip Beilke purchased the farm in 1950 and planted the first apple trees in 1959. Over the years we've raised apples, peppermint, blueberries, cherries, tall fescue, wheat, baby kiwi, peaches, pears, green beans, corn, chinese cabbage, and flowers for seed.
Phil Beilke is now 94 years old and he's slowed down to only working 60 hours a week. His son Terry grew up on the farm and joined Phil permanently in 1971. Terry married Debbie in 1979 and she's managed the books ever since he bought her a computer in 1981. Terry and Debbie's children, Kyle and Erin, started working on the farm by the age of ten. Erin decided to work on the farm full-time in 2005 and has two young kids, Silas and Kallan.
Our 9 acre U-pick apple orchard has grown more popular over the years, allowing use to share the farm experience with hundreds of family. We welcome you to our farm, if you're lucky you'll get to ride on the Gator with Phil Beilke himself. See you soon!
