About Us

At Foote Family Farms, we don’t just grow apples—we grow a legacy. Every row we plant is rooted in truth. Every harvest we share is bound in loyalty. And every customer we serve becomes part of the story we’ve carried for centuries—and are just beginning to tell.

Rooted in Truth. Raised in Loyalty.

Before our family sowed seeds in California soil, we were sheltering kings beneath oaks in England, stewarding villages in colonial Connecticut, and blazing wagon trails westward. Today, that same blood runs through every orchard row and honeycomb we tend.

For over 400 years, the Foote name has meant something: heritage, courage, and a promise to leave the land better than we found it. From sheltering a monarch in the 1500s to sheltering futures through sustainable farming today, our story is proof that legacy isn’t something you inherit—it’s something you grow.

We’re building more than a farm. We’re crafting a hedge against uncertainty—one apple, one acre, one act of stewardship at a time.

•  Heirloom Apples and fresh-pressed cider
•  Pollinator-Friendly Beekeeping
•  Sustainable Practices rooted in soil health and food security
•  Educational Outreach & mentorship to inspire future farmers

“Truth and Loyalty” has been our family motto for 800 years. It’s not just a phrase—it’s our compass.

From Paul Foote’s arrival in 1609, to Nathaniel and Pasco shaping the New England frontier, to Eunice Newton Foote’s early climate science and Warren Foote’s frontier resilience, our family has stood at the intersection of history, land, and lasting purpose.

To preserve what matters.
To cultivate what feeds not just bodies—but communities, futures, and values.
To ensure our children and yours still have oaks to rest beneath.
