How Did Bauman Orchards Begin?
Life started at Bauman Orchards in 1929. This farm has been a family owned business from the beginning and is now on the fourth generation of the family. The farm has two orchard locations, Bauman Orchards in Rittman and Scenic Ridge Fruit Farm in Jeromesville. The farm also has a seasonal Farm Market. The Bauman Orchards Corner Market is located at the corner of State Routes 585 and 57, outside of Rittman.
In the past few years the family has added another 56 acres and this is near Rittman. Over 3,000 Peach and 10,000 Apple trees have been planted. It is also planned that more trees will be planted moving forward. The Rittman location is now over 260 acres in size with over 48,5000 apple trees and 9,000 peach trees. The farm is not also just about apple and pear trees. The farm also has pears, plums, nectarines, tomatoes, strawberries and sweetcorn. Most of these trees are whips and they start to bear fruit after they have been planted for around 3-4 years.
