ORCHARDS

We have been managing Snake River Orchard for over 11 years and counting.

Snake River Orchards

The Snake River ranch has 2800 planted acres near Burbank Washington, just south of the Snake River.  The orchards have been redeveloped into primarily high-density apple plantings on vertical trellising systems, to maximize growing efficiencies and water.  In addition to apples, the Snake River Orchard grows Concord Grapes, Syrah and Cabernet wine grapes, and cherries.
