Orchards

Today's travelers are looking for destinations, which offer safety and the wholesome surroundings of one's own home. There's no better match for those interests than the new Shawnee Hills Orchard Trail! The trail's five orchards, located in Jackson and Union Counties, have all been owned by their respective families for several generations. Having celebrated their 100-year anniversary, Rendleman Orchards was designated an Illinois Centennial Farm in 1973! Others aren't far behind and it's that special family atmosphere that keeps travelers coming back season after season! Each of the orchards offers something a little bit unique. At Mileur Orchard, just west of Murphysboro, you'll find white peaches, nectarines and white nectarines.  Carbondale's Lipe Orchards originally opened in the 1880's and they have a produce stand just south of Carbondale on U.S. Highway 51, where the locals flock for summer and fall favorites!  Rendleman Orchards,  located just north of Alto Pass on State Route 127, has a wonderful market, which features excellent produce, all kinds of country kitchen necessities like pickles, jams, mixes and cookbooks. Look for the red barn!  Flamm Orchards has a wonderful "Fruits and Cream" stand, where folks enjoy in-season strawberry shortcake, peach cobbler and apple dumplings.
