For more information & Photos go to PROPERTYGUYS and enter ID #353686 Certified organic in 2024, our orchard is a testament to sustainable agriculture practices and a commitment to quality. As you step onto our property, you'll immediately notice the flourishing trees enveloped within a protective deer fence, ensuring our precious crop remains untouched. Our orchard is in full production, thanks to meticulous care and attention to detail. One of our recent endeavors involved an extensive repair and conversion of our irrigation system, transitioning from ground stakes to a hanging type spinner irrigation method. This upgrade ensures efficient water distribution, promoting optimal growth and fruit development. Our pruning program is equally rigorous, with a focus on enhancing tree health and productivity. Each year, we systematically remove one-third of oversized and extra-large branches, allowing for better light penetration and airflow. This winter, we're embarking on a tree reshaping initiative to further refine our orchard's structure. At the core of our operation lies a dedication to transparency and accountability. We maintain meticulous records of our spray program, ensuring the safety and integrity of our organic certification. In terms of yield, our apples speak for themselves. In 2022, we harvested 283 bins, each containing an impressive 825 pounds of pristine Ambrosia apples. While 2023 saw a slight decrease to 195 bins, the quality remained unparalleled. Beyond the orchard gates, the community of Cawston awaits, offering a vibrant tapestry of farm gate markets, bistros, and farm-to-table restaurants. Explore the local landscape and indulge in fresh produce straight from the source. Additionally, immerse yourself in the region's rich viticultural heritage with tastings at over 14 wineries and cideries, each offering a unique expression of the land.
