Jumping in with Both Feet at The Community Orchard

Jul 29, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT
Fort Dodge, IA | Denny & Emily Stucky, The Community Orchard | Free
When first-generation farmers Denny and Emily Stucky bought The Community Orchard in 2022, they had no background in agriculture or the hospitality industry, but they have jumped in with both feet. The Community Orchard sits on 100 acres, with 5,500 apple trees, along with sweet corn, pumpkins, ornamental corn, sunflower and zinnia fields, a corn maze – and, new in 2025, cut flowers. Come hear from the Stuckys about all they’ve learned in their first three years of running this business.
