Fruit Orchard

In a nod to the longstanding history of this particular part of Yamhill, which is known as Cove Orchard, we have dedicated parts of our farm to a variety of fruit trees. We have slowly begun to nurse some of the old plum, apple and pear trees on the property back to health, pruning them each year both for sake of preserving these old trees and determining if they can be used to grow fruit for our own consumption or use in our ciders.

We have also dedicated a portion of the farm to cider apple production. We were one of the first orchards in the country planted exclusively to Spanish cider apple varieties. To date, we have planted 15 different varieties of cider apples from Northern Spain: Blanquina, Collaos, Coloradona, Cristalina, De la Riega, Marialena, Perico, Piel de Sapa, Raxao, Reinata do Caravia, Repinaldo do Liebana, Sangre de Toro, Solarina, Teorica and Xuanina.

We have planted other fruit trees to feed our family and to share with guests during special events, including peaches, apricots, figs and almonds.
