The orchard’s roots trace back to when Allan Reid left his village in Scotland and landed in New York City, where he tasted his first peach. Once he arrived in Kentucky in 1873, he started planting fruit trees that eventually grew into what is now Reid’s Orchard. His son Robert continued the orchard, which was later run by Rober’s son John.
Today, Reid’s Orchard is operated by 4th-generation Billy and Kathy Reid along with the 5th-generation Valerie Reid Reel, Brad Reid, Katie Reid Clark, and their families. The 6th generation is currently growing up on the orchard.
More details about each event will be announced as they draw nearer.
