Hey Farm Friends!
As the seasons shift, things are bustling here at the vineyard. We’re in the midst of the final hand pruning for our grapevines — an essential step to fine-tune the crop load and ensure the best possible fruit quality for the year ahead. Alongside this, we’re applying pre-emergent herbicide to keep the undervine area clear, giving our vines a strong, healthy start.
Pollination is also underway! our apricot trees now have a hardworking team of bees on the job, and in just a week, we’ll be bringing in hives for our soon-to-bloom peach and cherry trees. It’s a time of careful tending and preparation, all in anticipation of a (literal!) fruitful season ahead.
Stay tuned for more updates as the orchard and vineyard continue to wake up with the arrival of Spring. We look forward to all that April has to offer in our beautiful Sunnyslope region of Idaho!
Sincerely,
Mike, Patrick, and Bev Williamson
