BLACKFOOT – When Jeanne Isom planted 200 apple trees at her Blackfoot home in 1994, she never anticipated her family would own a thriving fruit farm 30 years later.

Isom’s Fruit Farm, a six-acre orchard at 150 South 900 West, produces honey crisp apples every year. The seasonal family business, which has a whopping 2,500 apple trees today, is now in its third decade.

While the majority of customers live in eastern Idaho, Isom tells EastIdahoNews.com it attracts people from Star Valley as well.

As she reflects on 30 years of business, she’s overwhelmed by the size of the operation and the miracle that helped her spur-of-the-moment decision to prosper.

“We did not envision this is how it would end up,” Isom says.
