Buffalo Ridge Orchard (BRO) is a small family farm that relies on a small crew of dedicated staff committed to the production of local food. Vern and Mary Zahradnik started Buffalo Ridge Orchard with the planting of its first apple tree in 2003, transitioning a traditional 80-acre agricultural farm to one that supplies healthy local produce. The orchard has expanded from 800 to 8,000 trees and grows over 50 apple varieties, over a dozen vegetables, 40 types of herb plants, and 8 types of pears.
