Grove Update: Apple and Pear Crop: The crop set very well in late winter/early spring and it has continued to be a fantastic growing season for both our apples and pears. The combination of dry, sunny days coupled with ample moisture in the soil has produced a plentiful crop with great size and a strong sugar content. We expect this to continue improving as we approach the harvesting season.
