Happy Spring everyone!! We are busy at the orchard and preparing to get even busier as the weather brings us the promise of new growth and warmth. The pruning is complete and we are preparing to plant another 500+ trees in May. We are adding 6 new varieties: Honeygold, Haralson (red), Lakeland, State Fair, Frostbite, and Sweet 16, along with adding to our totals of Zestar!s. The bee population will also be increasing this year. Mike, our beekeeper, will be significantly increasing the number of hives. That is very exciting news and we look forward to watching his business grow right along with the orchard.
The most exciting news is the micro-nutrient program we will be implementing this year for the trees! The more healthy our trees the less diseases we will need to deal with. As always, if you have questions please give us a call.
