Rooted in Family. Growing for Generations.
What started with a piece of farmland in 1969 has grown into a 120-acre family farm where fresh produce, farm traditions, and good times are still meant to be shared.
“Each generation has added something to the farm while carrying forward what the generation before them started.”
— Bobby Callaham
From a Family Farm to a Family Tradition
The Callaham family’s roots on this land go back to 1939, when Edgar Callaham purchased the original farm.
Years later, in 1969, Edgar’s son Ray and Ray’s brothers, James and Walter Lee, planted the family’s first peach orchard. Those early peach trees came from K-Mart, and when harvest time arrived, the peaches were sold from the old peach stand across the road from where the farm market stands today.
It was a simple beginning – but an important one.
As neighboring land became available, Ray and later Bobby and Andy continued adding acreage and growing the farm. Each generation built on what the one before it had started, eventually shaping Callaham Orchards into the 120-acre working farm it is today.
The farm has grown quite a bit since those first peach trees went into the ground. What hasn’t changed is the family behind it – or the belief that a farm is at its best when it feeds its community and gives people a reason to come together.
THE FARM TODAY
120 Acres & Plenty Growin' On!
Today, brothers Bobby and Andy Callaham carry that tradition forward across 120 acres of farmland, growing a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers throughout the seasons.
Depending on the time of year, you’ll find tulips, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, muscadines, scuppernongs, pumpkins, and more growing around the farm.
But there’s more to experience here than what comes out of the field.
Spring brings colorful tulips and U-Pick berries, while late summer brings muscadines and scuppernongs fresh from the vine. Fall brings families back for seasonal farm fun, with pumpkins, a corn maze, wagon and train rides, farm animals, games, and plenty of room to play. Throughout the year, our farm markets help us share what’s fresh with customers in both Belton and Anderson.
And for younger visitors, the farm becomes a classroom, too. With more than 20 years of field trip experience – and Andy’s background as a science teacher – we enjoy helping children learn where food comes from, explore nature, meet the animals, and see farm life up close.
Growing With the Future in Mind
Farming has always meant thinking beyond the current season. At Callaham Orchards, sustainability is part of keeping the land productive, conserving resources, and caring for the farm that future generations will depend on.
Across the farm, that means making practical choices about how crops are grown, how water and energy are used, and how the natural systems around the farm are supported.
For the Callaham family, these aren’t trends or talking points. They’re thoughtful ways to care for the land and its resources while helping ensure the farm can keep growing for generations to come.
