Since purchasing Whiteland Orchard 45 years ago, Glenn and Becky Haveman have been dedicated to providing fresh apples—as well as many other types of produce and plants—to Johnson County, Indiana residents. The first trees of the orchard were planted in 1933 by Edgar Brown, (the original owner)then Carl and Irene Johnson, making Haveman’s the third family to own and operate the orchard.

Glenn and Becky—Buckeye Alumni of Ohio State University—both grew up on farms and studied agronomy and nursing, respectively, in college. They dreamed of one day owning their own farm, and were delighted when the orchard went up for sale in 1975. With the addition of greenhouses in 1987, they created their own farm complete with their five children. The children are grown, and help out when needed. We have 10 grandchildren.

The Whiteland Orchard encompasses 30+ acres, 3 greenhouses, and “Our Farm Market”, where they sold produce, cider and other products year-round. “Our Farm Market” is the place to find everything your family needs to make wholesome, delicious meals. Stop in the greenhouses, as well, to see which plants are on display and available for purchase.
