Please share this post as we would love the bigger trees to be sold to people who love to work with hardwood.

The rest of the logs go to Nueske’s for the applewood smoked meats!

We are in the process of pulling the old trees down. The trunks of these trees range from 8-12 feet in length and are 12-14 inches in diameter. These trees are straight and would be great for making bowls and cutting boards. They are $50 per trunk/log.

Please call the orchard to arrange pick up.

Once these big trees are gone there won’t be anymore as new trees are grown on dwarf rootstock not semi-standard or standard.

The bags will be on a first come basis. $35.00 for 50 pounds of HoneyCrisp. Once again perfect for cider or applesauce!

Have a favorite variety you’d like to see grown at the Orchard let us know!

We tested out a pilot program our first year, where we allowed our family and loved ones to pay for and pick a variety and that tree would to forever be dedicated to them. Some people dedicated trees to others in their family, while some trees were dedicated to people near and dear to us who’ve fought battles most of us couldn’t phantom.

We have a tree dedicated to our favorite Purple Heart Recipient because we know how much he’s sacrificed and he deserves a place where he and fellow recipients can come and sit in harmony with the trees and bees and enjoy picking apples alone or with their families.

We have a tree dedicated to bereaved mothers.

We have trees on the property dedicated to every family member we’ve lost. We’ll have these trees labeled for the community day so everyone has a chance to see what new varieties their are and who they’ve been dedicated to.

These dedication trees should start producing beautiful apples next season. The recipients of these trees are entitled to the first apples they bare and for each season to come they will receive a 1/2 peck of apples.

Let us know if this is something you’d like to see. What varieties would you like to see in the orchard?

Open Saturday and Sunday 9AM-6PM (U-Pick 10-4)

We will have a Fall Basket Raffles going on all season. A total of 4 Baskets will be raffled off. These raffles benefit my continued medical care and my children’s.

As most may already know I was recently diagnosed with a handful or rare medical conditions, as well as, my children. I have a brain cyst/tumor on my pineal gland as well as to much fluid in my brain causing intracranial
Hypertension. This is putting pressure on my optic nerves causing blind spots and days where I can’t see at all. I will be having to under go placement of a brain shunt to drain excess fluid from my brain so that I don’t go permanently blind. I attend physical therapy and occupational therapy twice a week on top of numerous doctor’s appointments through the state. All while trying my hardest to run this Orchard with the help of my husband, our children, some very special friends and community members.

We thank everyone for their patience this season as numerous weather events have created unfavorable conditions for our apples.

This weekend Friday - Sunday 10AM-4PM. HoneyCrisp Pie Bakers and Apple Sauce Makers Dream .98 cents per pound organic HoneyCrisp apples.

These apples aren’t perfect, but we don’t think anyone should be judging! They are organic low spray and it was a rough spring with all the rain. Our trees are starting to loose their leaves. They are ready for fall early this year!

There are tons of amazing apples on the trees they just need to a good washing to see their true beauty! See it hasn’t rained any recordable amount at our orchard in almost 2 weeks.

Remember we are cash only there is a gas station just up the street with an ATM. Otherwise it’s 4% feet with the cards.

Field trips are back on!

This includes field days for adults too! Adult field days just tell us your focus and we can tailor the trip to what you want to know!

Watch for our fall pruning and care class. Get those trees ready for winter and learn about how next years crop is already being determined!

Tree Rentals, Raffle Winners and those that received tree rentals for helping us out on our Volunteer Day. Please read and we hope everyone understands.

We will be “switching out” the tree rentals with 2 Bushels of HoneyCrisp Apples or your choice of variety.

We previously thought we could add an extra bushel making it three bushels, but the crop load just isn’t there.

Over the last couple weeks we received two events where the wind hit 45+ mph at the Orchard. This caused apples to smash into each other and into next year’s fruiting spurs. This split apples and poked holes in literal tons of our HoneyCrisp apples. That combined with every other weather event that’s happened over this spring and summer we are devastated.

We will have enough apples to carry out our season but we will not have a U-Pick this season.

We politely ask that everyone takes some time to understand the weather in this area and the fact that we are organic.

We know everyone loves to pick apples and loves them being organic. We can’t control the weather and these aren’t excuses. (Like the Ron’s of the world seem to think.) This is our lively hood and how we make a living.

Although you may be disappointed there isn’t a u-pick season our family is even more devastated that our crop isn’t what it should be.

We are trying our very best to sustain this orchard organically. There’s a reason why there is only one certified organic apple farmer in the state.

Farming is hard is a literal gamble. Being an organic farmer is even harder.

Please be kind, your words have an impact and future farming generations are watching.
