Lamont Fruit Farm

Lamont Fruit Farm was incorporated in 1966 by brothers George and Roger Lamont, who were the sixth generation of their family to farm in Albion, NY. The company now is owned and operated by Rod and Karyn Farrow.  George and Rod are partners in the new home farm Stillwater Orchards, where all the SweeTango® apples are grown.

Lamont Fruit Farm currently operates 475 acres of apples with 27 different varieties. Tree densities vary from 200 trees per acre in blocks planted in the 1970s to 2,000 trees per acre on 110 acres planted since 2002.

SweeTango® will play a key role in the future of Lamont Fruit Farm’s profitability. Rod and George believe it is a tremendous apple that has been very well received by all who have been lucky enough to have tried it.
