About Crew Family Orchards
​In 2016, Amanda and Nate Crew started growing various fruit trees in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Today, we grow organic nuts, fruits, berries, and a variety of other goodness in Wagram. We're family based, locally focused and dreaming of a delicious future for us all. Amanda is the boss of the food business and Nate manages tree cultivation and other things. You'll find our two boys, Jackson and Willy, running around, climbing trees and just being boys.
​
We seek to preserve and naturally improve the soil quality, allowing restoration of the original forest-based ecosystem of the land. With our friends, we're also working hard to eventually bring our neighbors the best in healthy local produce. We're happy to work with Appin Bees of Laurinburg, NC. Their honeybees are at home in our Wagram orchards, and you can find their honey and other hive products at www.appinbees.com.
Nature is bountiful and the future is delicious. We invite you to partake in it with us.

More about the Crew family...
In 1929, a hungry boy named William (or "Grampa") moved to Pennsylvania with his family from Tymbl, a tiny coal miners' village in Wales. He learned English, grew up and joined the US Army, getting his US citizenship upon graduation from boot camp in 1943; then he shipped off to World War II.​ A kind and generous soul, Grampa survived to live a full life as a chaplain and church minister. One of his six children was Nate's dad, Jack, who met Mom when they were both in the military.
Now, three generations of this Crew family live here in Wagram.​ It's been almost a century since Grampa ventured across the Atlantic. The wanderings are accomplished; this clan has "returned to our trees" as an old Welsh saying goes. And today, "mae'r dyfodol yn flasus." "The future is delicious."
