our story

Love abounds in the beauty of nature and the bounty of a harvest. These orchards and this roadside stand have allowed this family-owned and operated business to grow into a well-loved York County destination for over 70 years. Owner Mary Brown stepped into her role here at Brown's in 2018 after the sudden death of her husband Dave. "No one can prepare you for what it's like to lose the love of your life." 

 But with the support of her Brown's Orchards family and adopting a "one day at a time" perspective, Mary found a balance between growth and tradition and in 2020, she made Dave's dream of adding a wedding venue a reality. 

"Opening Orchard View Weddings was an expression of my love for my husband, this place, and the couples that begin their appley-ever after here."
