About the MacQueen Family & Our Orchards
Bob and Marlene MacQueen
MacQueen Orchards is owned and operated by Robert and Marlene MacQueen, and is truly a family farm with many generations actively involved both full and part time. Their four adult children have major roles on the farm: Jeff MacQueen is vice president, Bob MacQueen II is secretary/treasurer, Lynn Gorey is the bookkeeper, and Cindy Kaiser, now retired from teaching, also helps with pick your own in the fall.
The MacQueen Orchards began in 1936 when the first apple tree was planted by the late Hugh and Martha MacQueen, father and mother of Robert. Ten acres of the 25 acre farm were planted to apples. Martha and Hugh would gather their fruit each day in bushel baskets and take them by truck to Toledo to supply area fruit stands and markets.

In 1954, Robert graduated from high school and chose to stay on the farm to help his dad. Together they began planting apples and peaches on 15 more acres of ground. They also built an 8000 bushel cold storage to help preserve the quality and freshness of the fruit harvested and sold on the farm and to wholesale outlets. A packing house was erected, and the dairy barn was converted to a salesroom.
Bob and Marlene were married in 1956 and started their family—Cindy, Jeff, Lynn and Bobby. Soon, they purchased another 160 acres, and they built a retail and wholesale business, open year round. Another cold storage was built in 1962 with the capacity of storing 33,000 bushels of apples.
An 11,600 bushel controlled atmosphere storage was built in 1995, and another 9,000 bushel unit was added in 2006. In 2009, yet another 8,000 square feet was added to the wholesale packing facilities, which included office space, break room and restrooms.The MacQueen Families
