The Ozark plum is small to medium-sized and has a smooth skin that is vibrant reddish-purple in color. The flesh of the plum is juicy and has a yellow-orange hue. When fully ripe, the fruit offers a delightful balance of sweetness and tanginess in its flavor profile. The plums are known for their aromatic qualities and are often enjoyed fresh, although they can also be used in various culinary preparations such as jams, jellies, and pies.With a tart skin, and sweet-n-sour, juicy flesh, these plums make for a super refreshing snack straight from the fridge or make a really nice jam or tart.

Beechwood Orchards is a fifth generation, family-owned farm specializing in various tree fruits that has been operating in Adams County for over a century. The farm is currently being run by David and Tammy Garretson. In 2005 they were joined by their son, Shawn Garretson, after he graduated from Penn State with a degree in Horticulture. Last year Melissa Allen, their daughter, returned to the farm. She brought her two small daughters Isabelle (3 years) and Cammy (20 months) who have already begun to show an interest in agriculture.
