Jack and Oriana Kruszewski are the proud owners of Oriana’s Oriental Orchard in Skokie, IL. The orchard covers approximately 40 acres with a whole 5 acres dedicated exclusively to Asian Pears. The Kruszewski’s have children but the kids have decided to leave all of the work to their parents. Although the orchard is not organically certified, the Kruszewski’s use sustainable growing practices.
Jack and Oriana sell their products directly to consumers at the Green City Market and the Chicago Botanic Garden. Aside from direct sales, they also distribute their products to various restaurants and have their own CSA program.
