Scholl Orchards

George Scholl’s great uncle and aunt, Harry and Mary Nonnemaker, planted the first fruit trees in the 1930s on their Bethlehem property. George’s parents, Reginald and June Scholl, took an interest in agriculture and decided to expand, planting the main apple orchard in 1948. In 1968, George and his future wife, Faith, took over the responsibility of running the orchard in Bethlehem, and the farm market on Center Street. A second farm in Kempton, PA was purchased in 1982.

Scholl Orchards remains a fourth-generation family business run by the Scholl family. Jake and Ben Scholl maintain the fruit orchards and vegetable fields. Fruit is picked daily, when nature dictates. A special blend of apples is pressed into cider in the fall and winter months.

The Scholls are continuously improving the quality of their produce and expanding their reach. You can find them at the Easton Farmers’ Market, and in various restaurants and institutions (Bolete, Meals on Wheels, Lafayette College, Lehigh University) throughout the Lehigh Valley.
