In 2024, we planted 150 apple trees using the Tall Spindle System. The apples grow on a trellis system similar to a fruiting wall, and there are eight varieties currently in the east orchard. The orchards are designed to be U-Pick, including some lower-growing trees for children.

Auvil Early Fuji
This apple matures about six weeks ahead of standard Red Fuji. The fruit is sweet and crisp.
Crimson Crisp
This apple is shaded a beautiful blushed red while the creamy white flesh is crunchy and juicy. The balance of tart and sweet gives it a distinct, rich flavor.
