Featured Vendor: Hoch Orchard and Gardens

Hoch Orchard and Gardens is a small, certified organic family farm run by Harry and Jackie Hoch. All of their fruit is grown on their farm.
The orchard has been in the family since the early 1950's.
The Hoch Orchard vendor booth at the Winona Farmer's Market is run by their intern, Courtney Kirker, who has been interning with them since April.
Hoch Orchard is primarily an apple orchard with over 50 different kinds of apples. All of their apple cider, jams and jellies are produced in the commercial kitchen at the orchard.
There are also vegetable gardens, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries.
Hoch Orchard is currently raising sheep instead of pigs. They have recently made the switch after raising pigs for a long time.
