The days are getting longer, the sun is getting warmer, and its time to start pruning trees!! We get excited this time of the year to get back into the orchard and see how winter affected the trees. You may have noticed we now have a calendar page (under construction). We will use that to announce special events at the orchard.
We’ve ordered 150 honeyberry bushes for spring planting. Honeyberries are a member of the honeysuckle family, easier to grow than blueberries, ripen earlier than strawberries, taste similar to blueberries, and are fairly new to this area. We are excited to offer this berry in the near future.
We’ve also been busy building wooden bushel crates for apple storage and wooden trays for picking raspberries.
