Our fruit produce is grown with attention to details such as flavor enhancement,
nutritional quality and shelf-life. Fruit is picked tree ripe, which guarantees exceptional flavour.
We are committed to producing an excellent product.
Insect Managment
We focus on IPM (Integrated Pest Management).
The orchards and vineyards are scouted by individuals who are trained to recognize insects and diseases.
We only spray when insect numbers exceed a certain threshold.
We use sprays that have the least negative impact on beneficial insects.
Products such as molasses and Growers Nutritional Solutions are used to enhance the health of the trees and vines.
Fungus Management
We also use IPM methods and the services of scouts for fungus management.
We prefer to use sulfur, copper, and 35% hydrogen peroxide.
Weed Management
Under trees, we use a minimal level of herbicides along with mechanical weed-control,
as well as mulch. We have eliminated the use of long term residual herbicides.
Soil Nutrient Management
Our soil management is continually evolving, using the recommendations of Carey Reams,
Dan Skow and V.A. Tiedjens along with our own observations.
