TODAY IN THE ORCHARD

Northwestern Greening at Pleasant Pond Orchard, October 2012

We had visitors on the farm including Jess and Shane from Pleasant Pond Orchard in Richmond. It was a treat to be able to show them around the orchards and feed them dinner. They purchased Pleasant Pond Orchard from Mary Alioto and her husband Larry a few years ago and are now learning about the apples and how to grow them with little to no spray. Jess also creates healthy and delicious baked goods and preserves for customers at their farmstand and the Bowdoinham and Bath farmer’s markets.
