About Us
Tarry and Jan Hempel bought a 30-acre farm in Council Bluffs in 1994 and moved into an old farmhouse built in 1890, which they now use as a haunted house. They fulfilled their dream of planting an apple orchard and building a new home through hard work and dedication. In 1995, they planted over 627 apple trees and began selling pumpkins and apples as Pioneer Trail Orchard and Pumpkin Patch in 1995. Tarry and Jan’s children, Tyler, Nick, and Sarah, have grown up working on the farm and have learned the value of hard work and entrepreneurship. They invite visitors to come and enjoy their farm-grown produce and the new offerings at Pioneer Trail Grill.
“Don’t be in a hurry to achieve your dreams. Take a day to play with your kids and relax – your dreams will still be there tomorrow.”
