Most of our team members have 20 to 30 years of experience in the same orchards. Their unique technical and institutional knowledge allow us to hand prune each tree to an excact standard for each variety we grow and site we farm. We hand thin each tree to a secific crop-load after the hail and freeze window has passed. This thinning pass serves as the first quality selction. Modern orchards are mechanically pruned and non-selectively thinned while the fruit is still just a flower with machines or chemicals.
