🍎 HERE WE GOOOO…..
.
We kicked off harvest this week with doing a selective color picking of our organic Honeycrisp apples. Join us for 2 minutes to see how it is done with our Technofruit CF-105 harvest platform.

Drilled two holes and moved the sight tube to the other side of the vineyard sprayer and made a new decal. It was inconvenient to walk around the sprayer to check the water level.
Fully stocked for the year on crop inputs. for 14 acres. It’s so satisfying seeing the room packed. I try to purchase all of my inputs in one go so I can leverage the order size to get better pricing and so I don’t have to worry about shortages during the growing season.
Old pump house from the 1940s is out! It was in the way of planting the next block of Evercrisp. Redesigning it into a vertical mount 1ft wide system that will fall inline with the rows.
@mombannister They ripen around the end of October for us in Western WA. The variety really shines at our site. Great apple scab resistance, minimal biennial bearing, and extreme heat tolerance. Planning to use the fruit for fresh market and baby food.
