THE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
|
|
 |
How long has the farm been open to the public?
|
|
|
This Fall is the second year when a significant number of apples can be harvested from most trees at Hill Creek Farm. However, everyone should be aware that Mother Nature has been challenging during the past months. Last year's drought and inclement weather combined with a hail storm this summer to limit our harvest. We've been fortunate, however. Many of our apples remain unharmed and ready to pick. So, please join us in harvesting the best of what our orchard has. The trees will continue to be more and more productive as years pass.
