   Burke Family orchard was planted forty years ago by Francis M. Burke. Originally, he planted the orchard to provide our community in Southern NM with sweet delicious apples and the best apple cider. The orchard, after years of growing every which way, evolved into the perfect secret oasis. The trees have branches close to the ground where the smallest child can clutch fruit for his or herself. | Seasons of the Orchard Spring! Blossoms began April 4.  |   |
