1969
From 200 trees to a Marion landmark.
Morris imagined a few apple trees. A commercial order of 200 became the beginning of Allen's Orchard, which Morris and Diane grew and shared for 41 years.
Family-owned since 1969 · Celebrating 57 years in 2026
Growing apples. Harvesting memories.
Allen's Orchard began in 1969, when Morris and Diane Allen turned a cornfield north of Marion into a place for apples, agricultural education, and time together outside.
Our story
Two families. One orchard tradition.
2010
Our family began the next chapter.
We joined the orchard with Annie's Apples and More, bringing fresh donuts, pies, turnovers, and more to the apple-growing tradition.
