N.B. Christmas tree farm turned apple orchard off to crisp start
Watson and her father, Peter LeBlanc, decided a few years ago they wanted to move out of the Christmas tree business for a new product. New to farming, they decided apples would be a good change.“Oh I definitely enjoy growing the apples,” he said, adding the detailed work required to maintain operations makes the job rewarding.While the start of the venture has been smooth, the orchard was dealt a blow a week before the opening.
“We lost about 20 per cent of our crop,” LeBlanc said, adding, “My attitude was, we didn’t have major damage, and we still had 80 per cent, so the glass is still 80 per cent full.”This season the 5-acre orchard will yield honey crisp, cortland and ambrosia apples. However, LeBlanc said they have a few other types growing for next year.Apple-picking season is back in Northumberland County
