Jonamac Orchard is a three generational family farm in Northern Illinois.  Founder, Gerald McArtor, found a passion for growing apple trees after taking some Horticulture classes at Kishwaukee College down the road.  He planted several trees at his house, and then he and his wife Mary Lynn purchased the farm from the Johnson family in 1984.  Gerald decided to call the farm “Jonamac Orchard,” a combination of the names Johnson and McArtor, and also a variety of apples grown on the farm.
