It will be a few years before we can fully fill in the gaps left by the more than 20 acres of trees which died from the October 2020 radical freeze. But we are building back, bit by bit. We were able to replace several acres of lost trees in 2021 and they grew beautifully.
In the spring of 2022 we are hoping to replant another 4-7 acres of peaches. With 2021’s more stable autumn progression, this winter with early moisture, & with luck a mild and wet spring, we are doing a dance of happiness and hope. CSA fruit shares are on offer again this coming year starting in April!
Last season some younger peach trees surprised us by surviving when we thought they were likely to die. Sadly some mature peach blocks we’d thought had survived actually just gave up their last gasp.
All told after the death of more than 20 acres of trees You – our community – have come together with the most soul-touching support for our farm and orchards. You show us we really are connected, and reaffirm our belief that it is human nature to care about each other. Thank you. You’ve made a difference. We invite you to join our free farm tour in June or see the farm Virtually during Lunch With a Farmer.
