The farm has been in the Schulteis family for over 40 years. James and Mae Schulteis purchased the farm in 1963, from the Prichett Family. They grew mainly fruit, specializing in peaches and apples. Although their are lots of fond memories of different farm animals and preserving lots of vegetables grown on the farm over the years.

operations. Jim and Mae then retired(?) to North Carolina, but
continue to return to PA. in the fall to help out with the apple harvest.
