The Orchard Shop at Minnetrista

The Orchard Shop at Minnetrista is a curated gift and specialty goods retailer located at 311 W St. Joseph Street in Muncie, Indiana, featuring locally crafted items, handmade goods, artisan products, and seasonal offerings including fresh apple cider. The shop’s name honors a historic orchard planted over 140 years ago by the Delaware County Orphanage, which was later purchased by Frank C. Ball in 1906; today it operates as a retail establishment reflecting the mission and heritage of Minnetrista and the Ball family. The Orchard Shop offers made-to-order gift baskets, Ball jars and canning supplies, hand-pressed apple cider, handcrafted jewelry and pottery, exclusive Bob Ross merchandise, and partnership coffee blends, serving as a community hub celebrating Muncie’s local artistry and history.
