Learn about growing fruit biodynamically with Alan Surprenant!

“These apples have soul.”

We are delighted to be hosting our local orchard and tree care advisor and teacher, Alan Surprenant!!!

Alan Surprenant has been growing apples since 1982. He planted his own orchard of 100 fruit trees in 1990. Alan grafted most of the trees himself choosing varieties that lend themselves to organic orcharding practices. The orchard produces about 400 bushels per year which are sold through the Ashfield Farmers’ Market. Alan has been teaching orcharding for many years using his own orchard as a classroom. He has simplified the sometimes confusing tasks of growing good fruit. He is passionate about growing healthy fruit and teaching others how to do it too.
