Welcome to the Spring Tour of our Bella Viva Orchards. We have prepared a glimpse of our farm for you to enjoy. Unfortunately we can only share so much through a computer so you have to imagine you can smell of millions and millions of rich sweet blossoms in full bloom while you are standing in the middle of thousands trees. Imagine the sound of bees buzzing past you and even occasionally landing on your shoulder but quickly taking off to the nearest tree. In the evening you can even hear crickets across the orchard floor and frogs near the canal.
Right now we are getting everything in place to dry fruit as well as working on some expansions, such as adding more cherry pitting equipment and adding more tools for drying fruit.
Because it is a bit of a mess in the dry-yard and there isn't anything you won't see in action in approaching newsletters, I decided you show you a couple shots of the orchards. We hope you enjoy the walk through the farm.
