FORK & SHOVEL

Our heirloom apples are grown on the Navarro River bottom in Mendocino County. Our 1700 trees range in age from young whips to 90 year old specimens, and produce over 80 varieties of apples, pears and quince. Morning fog and hot afternoons produce tender skinned and intensely perfumed fruit. Picking and packing are done by hand. The apples are not washed or waxed but are left with their own natural bloom and sent directly to market. We are proud to have achieved Demeter status in 2005, making it possible to represent our farm and our many of apple products as Biodynamic®. In addition to the trees and our animals, the farm hosts cooking classes and provides accommodation to visitors with our three guest cottages in the orchard.
