New family orchard south of Baldwin City, KS. Growing apples, peaches, blackberries, pumpkins and more.

New in 2020 is our use of DrapeNet to provide protection from hail, sunburn, birds, and some insects. Made possible in part by a specialty crop block grant from Kansas Department of Agriculture in cooperation with K-State extension and another Kansas fruit grower.

Does anybody else suffer this second guessing while thinning apples? Except Gala. You’ve gotta throw the hammer down there.

Trying to work spring planting in between weather events. Gotta love Kansas weather. 6000 apple trees down 1200 peach trees to go.

On our tour stop at Willow Drive Nursery we got to see what over a million trees look like in storage awaiting spring delivery. #IFTA2017
