Description:
We are a family owned orchard and guest ranch. We grow over 29 varities of apples.
We are all organic, although we are not certified. Come out and visit us soon!
Our Orchard is located in Miller Canyon nestled between two 9200+ foot peaks (Miller/Carr)
and lies in a basin on the leeward and east side of the two Peaks, at 5800 feet.
This unique location means
summer monsoon clouds form earlier, sun comes up later in winter and goes behind the mountains early in all the seasons.
Our dry farm relies on an average of 32 inches of rain instead of irrigation. One of the natural
methods used through out the Orchard is that the 1300 apple trees are mulched with straw/compost and fertilized with steer manure.
Apples: 29 Varieties listed in order of ripening.
SUMMER: Earligold, Earliblaze and Gravenstein.
FALL: Bert's Special, Jonathan, Dolgo Crab, Gala, McIntosh, Spartan, Honeycrisp and Cortland.
WINTER: Northwest Greening, Chieftain, Gold Delicious, Galerine**, Red Delicious, Freedom -
Driving Directions:
Located 3 miles from Hwy 92 on Miller Canyon Road. Please call before coming out to see us.
Featured Recipe
Wild Mushroom Compote
1. Combine molasses marinade and demi-glace in a medium saucepan over high heat and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. (You’ll have to take the pan off the heat to judge, as it bubbles and increases in volume over the heat. Depending upon the size of your pan, it could take about 10 to 15 minutes.)
2. Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Remove all but 3 tablespoons of bacon fat.
3. Cook mushrooms in bacon fat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Add sliced grilled scallions and vinegar. Add bacon and the molasses mixture and cook for 10 minutes on low, or until sauce reaches desired consistency.
4. To serve, place a generous 1/4 cup of compote on lower 1/3 of beef medallions, letting it run onto the plate. Garnish with sliced scallions if desired.
