Cornerstone Orchards, located in Youngstown, NY, is more than a farm—it’s a promise to the land and to the community. Family-owned and operated, this orchard represents the heart of Niagara County farming, producing apples, peaches, cherries, and pears with care, consistency, and pride.

The farm’s name, “Cornerstone,” reflects its mission: to be a foundation of quality, integrity, and community support. Each generation of farmers at Cornerstone has worked to maintain that legacy, honoring the traditions of past growers while embracing modern, sustainable techniques to ensure a bright future.

Cornerstone uses a blend of sustainable orchard management practices, including careful soil monitoring, water conservation, and pest management strategies that reduce chemical inputs and protect beneficial insects. They understand that good fruit starts with good soil and a healthy ecosystem, and their stewardship reflects a deep respect for the land.

What sets Cornerstone apart is their wide variety of fruit. Their apples—from Honeycrisp to McIntosh—are staples of autumn in Western New York, while their peaches and cherries capture the sweetness of summer. They also grow pears, offering FreshFix members a rare local treat that’s often hard to find in stores.

Supporting Cornerstone Orchards means more than enjoying farm-fresh fruit—it’s about strengthening the local food system. By choosing their produce, you’re investing in a family business that prioritizes quality, community, and sustainability over mass production. You’re also helping to ensure that future generations in WNY can enjoy local orchards, rather than watching farmland disappear to development.

Cornerstone’s story is one of dedication: to the land, to family, and to the people who enjoy their harvest. Every piece of fruit carries that story forward—and thanks to FreshFix, it ends up right at your doorstep.
