Apple-Licious Orchard

Apple-Licious orchard Mission statement: To supply and produce quality healthy products for the community, grow with the community supporting family values while honoring God. In 2017, Apple-Licious Orchard formed an LLC and headed into the first year of production. The spring started with frost so production numbers were low. The orchard was still viable enough to start meeting its customers at local farmers markets and being open at the orchard on Saturdays. Headed into spring of 2018 Apple-Licious Orchard has two thousand trees fielded with hopes of size-able production. With a nursery bed of 1,300 more trees the orchard is now planted with a trellis condensed vertical growing system. With my age increasing and the legacy just starting to begin I had purchased a few registered apple varieties to get this orchard moving forward, with many varieties the Howard area has not seen. Apple-Licious Orchard currently has about 19 varieties and about 35 Bartlett Pear trees, along with a few cherries, plums, peaches, and apricots.
