Terhune Orchards at 50
A family legacy of learning and growing
In 1975, Pam and Gary Mount purchased a colonial-style home on 55 acres along Cold Soil Road in Princeton. The couple had recently served in the Peace Corps and wanted to bring their shared experiences and ideology of community, education, and love of land to a new venture—Terhune Orchards. Now, that family home sits at the heart of the farm, with its black shutters and matching roof having weathered the ups and downs of the last 50 years, from climate changes to a pandemic, from raising children to welcoming grandchildren.

In a way her kitchen has served all of the greater Princeton community. And even if we aren’t among the 25 guests at her holiday gatherings, we’re all a part of the Mount family, thanks to all the farm has offered for half a century.
