Another interesting year in the orchard. We had super hot days around full bloom for most of the trees. Many trees little to no apples. Varieties that bloomed before or after the heat have some or many apples. We should be ok for selling our organic sweet cider 🙏🏻🤞🏻🍎

Wanted to give a quick update on what's going here.... slowly but surely we are planting in the greenhouse and outside. Life has been challenging with family medical issues. Thankfully mother nature has left us with apples on SOME trees (some have none because they were in bloom on 2 hot days). Blueberries are looking great. Thank you for your patience! 🤗🤠

I won't be lying if I am a little worried about the apple crop. Since we don't manually or chemically thin each year, this year's crop will be light (next year heavy) we are approaching full bloom this week and two of the days are over 85. Two years ago we were in same situation and ended up with almost no apples. Not much we can do so hoping we aren't impacted much. 🍎🍏🙏

Redfield, a red flesh apple that harvest later than most always blooms first on the farm. I expect full bloom is next weekend....🙏🌼

I took off the winter mulch today and found several spears popping up. If all goes well, we will be selling bunches of organic asparagus @oneearthnaturalfoodstore in a few weeks! 🌱
