Scattered across the farm are quiet giants that offer shade, beauty, and nourishment—our fruit trees.
Apples – crisp and sweet, with several varieties suited to our climate.
Pears – soft and juicy, harvested in late summer.
Plums – rich in flavor, great for fresh eating or preserves.
Peaches – a warm-weather favorite, bursting with sweetness.
Cherries – tart and sweet varieties that ripen in early summer, beloved by birds and humans alike.
These trees are more than just producers—they’re part of our long-term vision for perennial food systems. Fruit trees help:
Support pollinators with spring blossoms.
Improve soil health through deep root systems.
Provide shade and microclimates for understory crops.
Offer seasonal harvests that connect us to the rhythms of nature.
We also use the orchard to teach about tree care, pruning, and integrated pest management, showing how thoughtful stewardship leads to healthy, productive trees. Each tree is a quiet investment in the future, bearing fruit for years to come and teaching us patience, care, and the joy of seasonal abundance.
