Browning Orchard Description Browning Orchard - Morehead State University Education and Field Station is a working part of the MSU Department of Agricultural Sciences and provides students and opportunity to learn more about agribusiness, as well as horticulture and other orchard management. History Browning Orchard was an important part of the Fleming County community for nearly 100 years. The property, originally purchased in 1899 by E.P. Browning, was used to grow peaches. In the mid-1920s, Francis P. Browning, E.P.’s son, converted the farmland to a commercial orchard that predominately produced apples. Passing through three generations, Browning Orchard Apples were known across central and northeastern Kentucky. Fall harvest drew visitors from near and far and the Annual Browning Orchard Apple Festival was a highlight of the season. - See more at: moreheadstate.edu/content_template.aspx?id=10243#sthash.ay7zd06h.dpuf
