Immediately After Apple Harvest

General Orchard Management - Now we have time to repair different areas of the orchard and start our preparation for the winter months ahead.

Fall Fertilizer - By taking soil samples throughout the orchard, we can decide what different areas of the orchard need and don’t need.

Mowing/Mouse Bait - Mice and voles can be a problem in the orchard. In order to prevent this, we keep the grass mowed to create a less appealing habitat for rodents.

The apple farming process is a year-round commitment. We want to share with you what exactly happens during the non-harvest months.

Immediately After Apple Harvest

Foliar Fertilizer - As harvest finishes, a sprayer makes a trip through the orchard to spray trees with a medley of fertilizers to give trees an extra boost.

General Orchard Management - Now we have time to repair different areas of the orchard and start our preparation for the winter months ahead.

Fall Fertilizer - By taking soil samples throughout the orchard, we can decide what different areas of the orchard need and don’t need.

Mowing/Mouse Bait - Mice and voles can be a problem in the orchard. In order to prevent this, we keep the grass mowed to create a less appealing habitat for rodents.
