The Portdaven Fruit Farm was started in 1910 by Frederick Harper & Viola Maude Portdaven. The Farm remained in the Portdaven Family for three generations, from 1910 through July 2017, creating many fond memories for families throughout the Meadville region. Undergoing several transformations over the years, the Farm was re-designed in the last decade to create the new expanded apple orchard, three ponds and a cider house. Spanning over 14 acres, the Farm has over 1,400 fruit trees with eight varieties of apples as well as Red Bartlett pears.
In 2017, the Farm was purchased by Jeffrey Boswell of Cochranton, PA, who had a vision to reform and modernize the Farm into a Cidery and Winery. Jeff, along with Rosie Holeva, modernized the 100-year-old barn to include a beautiful tasting room and cider production facilities. Due to overwhelming demand, in 2019, an events facility was built to accommodate private parties and events. With most of his vision complete, Jeff handed the reigns to a new set of owners in 2022.
Kelly and Matthew Jameson have taken over the beautiful Portdaven Fruit Farm Cidery and Winery with the intent to build upon the century of regional history while introducing additional excellent Pennsylvania ciders and wine. Patrons will be able to enjoy our facilities year round and we invite you to come experience this hidden gem in Western Pennsylvania.
