Jefferies Orchard History

Jefferies Orchard is located just north of Springfield, Illinois. It was settled in 1822 by the Jefferies family.

In the early years, before
the prevalence of large commercial growers, our produce was loaded onto trucks and sent to Chicago and St.Louis. There it was
sold on the wholesale market and served at some of the finest restaurants in the city.

Let us know what you'd like to see us grow...we're always ready to listen and answer questions.
Hope to see you at the Orchard!
