4. The Orchard

In a nod to the longstanding history of this particular part of Yamhill (known as Cove Orchard), 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 consumption or use in our ciders.

We also dedicated a portion of the farm to cider apple production. We believe we are 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, specifically Asturias or the Basque region (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).
