Seaman's Orchard:
The Lea brothers started the family agricultural business
in 1933, which became Seamans' Orchard. In 1945, Alton R.
Seaman and Joyce Lea Seaman, the second generation, took over
until 1980. Today, the third and fourth generations of the
founding family are operating the orchard and living there.
The business is operated as a partnership between Richard
Seaman and Eddie Seaman, grandsons of the original founder.
Carter Parr and Anne Seaman Kidd are involved as the
fourth generation.
In addition to apples and beef cattle, pumpkins and strawberries are also grown at Seamans' Orchard. Carter Parr, Richard's and Eddie's nephew is in charge of growing the pumpkins and strawberries. Normally, 30 acres of pumpkins are planted and 2 acres of strawberries. Please click on the link below to get more information on pick-your-own strawberries at Seamans’ Orchard. Basically, little has changed over 73 years at Seamans' Orchard. What has remained constant is the family's commitment to growing the finest products Mother Nature will allow.
Seamans' Orchard has pick-your-own apples the third weekend
in September. The children, nieces, and nephew of Richard
and Eddie Seaman are there to provide any assistance they
can while you pick your perfect apple. Families are encouraged
to bring a picnic and enjoy our view of the mountains. A few
picnic tables are provided. The Seaman Family looks forward
to this time of year to visit with you and to show off their
fresh, mountain grown Virginia apples.
