Just a couple of short months ago I published pics of the orchard in bloom. In just a few short weeks, we'll be filling crates with fruit. In fact, we've already harvested and sold out of our Lodi and Yellow Transparent apples.
Next on the agenda are sweet red pears and Wealthy apples. Of all the things that go on around here, the orchard is what I am most involved in. During harvest my focus moves from writing and photography to harvesting, preserving, and selling tree fruit. Having two great farmers markets really helps in the selling department!
The brochure with our apple and pear varieties and their uses is almost done. Before, I included separate information handouts for each type. This way, I will have all the information in one document, which will also let people know when certain varieties become ready to harvest.
Today is Sunday, though, and I am giving all of this a rest :)
