1959
From humble beginnings to a globally connected orchard, the story of Majestic Orchard is, at its core, a story of family, resilience, and vision. 1959 marked the first chapter. With little more than determination and a deep respect for honest work, Edward Hoop arrived in the United States and began selling fresh apples in local neighborhoods. What started as a modest trade quickly became a daily pursuit of quality and trust-values that would define generations to come.

1968
By 1968, the second generation stepped forward. Michael Hoop brought structure and ambition, transforming the family's small-scale efforts into a growing distribution business. Together, they moved beyond street-level sales, building relationships and expanding their reach across New York.
1976
A defining milestone came in 1976, when Majestic Orchard was officially established. No longer just traders, the Hoop family became growers-planting the roots of what would become a lasting agricultural legacy.

1980s
Growth accelerated through the 1980s, as the company expanded its land to over 1,200 acres of thriving orchards. Each acre represented not just scale, but a commitment to cultivating better fruit, season after season.
1992
In 1992, the third generation, John Hoop, joined the business. With a forward-thinking mindset, he introduced modern farming techniques and operational improvements, elevating both productivity and consistency-bridging tradition with innovation.
2001
Entering the new millennium, Majestic Orchard made a bold investment. In 2001, a state-of-the-art facility was built, integrating cold storage, advanced packing systems, and streamlined logistics. This marked the transition from a strong regional player to a scalable enterprise ready for global demand.
2012
That vision became reality in 2012, as Majestic Orchard entered international markets, bringing premium apples to customers across Asia and the Middle East.
2018
In 2018, Steven Hoop, representing the fourth generation, joined the company. With a global perspective and a focus on digital transformation, he has been instrumental in shaping the brand's modern identity-strengthening partnerships, expanding market presence, and preparing Majestic Orchard for the future.
