Growing Memories Since 1804
In Fultonville, the Bellinger family’s farming roots run deep—220 years deep. The land has been in the family since 1804, when Linda Coyne’s Great, Great, Great, Great Uncle James Winne first began farming here.
In 1930, her grandparents, Furman and Mildred Bellinger, planted the first apple trees, creating an orchard that has been a staple of the community ever since.
A Harvest of Variety
Today, Bellinger’s Orchard is known for its incredible variety—more than 50 kinds of apples, plus peaches, pears, plums, pumpkins, and squash.
Fall weekends bring even more to explore, from a new themed corn maze each season to weekend hayrides and a children’s area with a hay bale maze, bubble stations, a bouncy corral, duck races, and sports toss games.
Come and indulge in their warm apple cider donuts and blueberry donuts, made fresh on-site. Donuts are sold individually, by the half dozen, or by the dozen, with volume orders available by request.
Farm Market Favorites
In their new farm market, you’ll find local food products including fresh sweet apple cider, cider slushies, fruit butters, homemade fudge and kettle corn, gourmet mixes, pies and baked goods from Vickie B’s Bakehouse, Chatty Wren coffees, Fruits d’Vine jams and jellies, Dygert Farms milk, Glenvue Farm meats, King Brothers Dairy ice cream, Peaceful Valley maple syrup, 1000 Islands River Rat cheese, Rulison Honey Farms honey, winter squash, and more.
The market also features local artisan goods such as glassware by Cherie, flowers from Glen Cottage Farms, mums from Family Traditions Tree Farm, and Libby’s Natural Soap products.
A Family Effort
For the Coynes, the best part of the season is seeing familiar faces—multiple generations returning year after year—and seasonal customers they look forward to reconnecting with every autumn. “We grow memories,” they say, and it is clear those memories are part of what keeps families coming back.
The farm is still very much a family effort. Linda and her husband run the orchard with their two sons, who help wherever they are needed. Seasonal employees, often local teens, round out the crew on busy weekends.
Community & Tradition
The Coynes also stay deeply connected to the community, employing local kids, sponsoring sports teams, and taking part in area fundraisers. Some of their favorite fall traditions are simple ones, like sampling all the apple varieties they grow.
Looking ahead, they are committed to preserving the orchard’s legacy while adding new and exciting experiences for visitors of all ages.
