Orchard
Farmer Greg's Updates:
May 2024:
Many thanks to friends and family for their help in the orchard over the winter. We got a lot accomplished (I'm learning there is always more to accomplish than we set out to do).
Spring is in full swing and the orchard is in bloom. The peach grove started first (about 2 weeks prior to our earliest apple varieties) followed by our Gravenstein apples. The Macintosh grove (the oldest part of the orchard with some wonderfully old trees) just bloomed over the weekend and we hope the blooms stick around for mothers day.
We had a great visit with a local preschool to observe the pollination actives in the orchard.
I've uploaded some photos below, however, if you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you will see regular updated photos there as well.
Thanks for your support and for visiting our small family farm to experience the wonder of nature!
