Join us for a busy apple harvest as we gather Jonagold apples using specialized orchard machinery to get the job done. 🍎
Today we are out in the orchard picking John of Gold apples. It takes more than just ladders to get the job done efficiently; we rely on heavy farm equipment to move our harvest boxes and manage the logistics of the day. You will see our team in action using our red field forklift and the Gillison's GVF 5000 off-road forklift to navigate the rows and keep the fruit moving from the trees to the bin.
Managing the flow of fruit during the peak season requires precision and the right tools. We are showing exactly how these machines assist our crew in the field, making the physically demanding work of apple picking smoother and faster. Whether you are interested in the logistics of commercial fruit farming or just want to see how we handle the harvest, this is a look at the daily operations on our farm.
Subscribe to Pomes and Stones for weekly updates on our orchard work, and let us know in the comments if you have a favorite apple variety.

We’re turning an empty field into the next block of our apple orchard, but getting ready to plant apple trees this fall didn’t go exactly as planned. Before we could mark our orchard rows, we ran into a problem with all the leftover grass and cuttings from mowing, which were balling up underneath...
