The Yager's started in the apple business in 1943. Lloyd N. Yager, the current owners' grandfather, bought Twin Orchards for his son, Donald G. Yager. This father-son partnership ran the business before Lloyd N. eventually sold the business to Donald in 1951. In 1998, Donald G. Yager sold Twin Orchards to the current owners: brothers Lloyd W. and Jon E. Yager.

Jon and Lloyd have worked at Twin Orchards since they were young kids. There are still five family members involved in the business, including Lloyd's wife Lori, Jon's son Shawn and Lloyd and Jon's sister, Rebecca.
