We started farming in 1974 and began development of the orchard
aspect in 1995. Upon consideration of competition in the conventional
market and potential loss of pesticides, we aggressively committed
ourselves to the development of an entirely organic orchard.
All of our apple blocks are certified organic as well as 7
acres of our cherries. We have 40 acres of transitional bing
cherries. (Transitional means that the fruit is grown organically,
but that it hasn’t gone through the three-year period.)
Our orchard farm is environmentally friendly.
Our farm family takes pride in growing a quality organic product.
We have 45 acres of organic apples. (Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny
Smith), 7 acres of organic bing cherries and 40 acres of transitional
bing cherries.
