McClure’s Orchard is a family-run apple farm located north of Peru, on U.S. 31. Over ten years ago, Paige and Jerry McClure (Mom and Dad) went looking for a new adventure. They happened upon an overgrown orchard, trees tall and full of suckers with a lawn unkempt, lonely and detached from its community. Throughout the sixty-acre spread, only one apple grew! That was then…
Since, we have worked hard to reclaim the orchard as a flourishing apple farm and restore it as a place within the community for everyone to enjoy. Whether folks come from town or are passing through the area, we hope they take the time to stop, stretch their legs and spend a few moments breathing in the country air.
During your stop, you’re bound to see at least one McClure. Mom is generally in the barn on the weekends cutting up apples and serving apple cider slushies to the kids. Dad is usually at the animal barn on the weekends, giving kids horse rides or getting out Big John the Goose for the youngsters to see. Megan is usually busy in the restaurant, serving folks warm apple dumplings with a healthy scoop of delicious cinnamon ice cream. Alison and I are generally serving samples of our wine and hard cider while Travis makes himself busy by driving the trolley...'ALL ABOARD!" Jon and Shan come up when they can to help out here and there, and they bring the two cutest McClure's, Kai and Auz.
The support from our extended family has been amazing, too. We couldn’t have come this far without them and other members from the community who we hold dear to our hearts.
So, come in and see us, we look forward to visit.
