Hillcrest Orchard

The orchard, started in 1928, is located at 2747 Township Road 444, Sugarcreek, just north of Walnut Creek. Operated by the Hershberger family since 1968, the farm is now owned by Merle and Lela Hershberger, whose seven children can be found lending a hand on the property. They’re often joined by other family members who help out year round and especially during the fall harvest season. “It’s a home-owned business. We’re a very relaxed atmosphere,” according to Lela Hershberger, who said the farm operations constantly are ongoing and part of visitors’ experience. Hillcrest Orchard is open Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., August-March.
