Nancy and Danny Johnson with their son Shannon and wife Donna, own and operate Johnson’s Orchards & Peaks of Otter Winery. J Elmo Johnson, great grandson of John T. Johnson, established Johnson’s Orchards in 1918 in the area of property that had been in the family since the 1750s. The orchard has over 100 different apple varieties mostly heritage varieties. The farm is home to a herd of grass fed cattle, goats and sheep. The Johnsons are involved in the Bedford County Farm Tour each year and they were the 2008 Hosts. The farm and winery have lots of animals that you can visit while on the farm either picking fruit or tasting wine. The farm was the 2006 Bedford Agribusiness of the year and received the 2007 outstanding conservation farm of the year award.
