Spring Renewal & Trepidation

The rapid change from winter to spring has created quite the buzz around the orchard.

Apricots have more flower buds than ever, apples went from “green tip” to “tight cluster” in 2 days and disease management went from a normal ramping up to turbo mode.
While we welcome spring renewal and rebirth, it keeps us on edge during the season of frost. Frost can dramatically affect the amount of fruit we have during a season, especially during this time.
Despite that trepidation we are hopeful for a fantastic year at the orchard!

Eggpocolypse!!!

 Eggpocolypse!!!

It’s our slow season, so the eggs tend to stack up. We need a few more egg customers to pop in the farm store and enjoy the happy hens hard work!!
Deliveries considered, by arrangement and depending on quantity.
$4/dz free ranged eggs, chickens raised outside with organic feed.
Thank you!!
