Hunts Orchard will reopen under a new family in June.

The orchard in Amazonia closed its doors in January after more than 40-years in business when owners John Carneal and his wife Brenda decided it was time to retire.  In a post on Facebook Thursday, the Carneal’s announced that another family has signed a lease.

Jeff Miller said he and his family plan to reopen the orchard June 17.

“This is something we can all be involved in,” Miller said.

He said he is working with John Carneal to get everything up and running and that they plan to offer many of the same things that have always been a commodity at the orchard.   Peaches, apples, hayrides, Amish goods, and they plan to add in berries this year as well.

The business will continue to operate under the name Hunts Orchard.  Miller said hours of operation once they reopen will be Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Miller said he plans to continues to work in the construction business as well as operating the orchard.
