Winter Tours of Apricot Lane Farms (The Biggest Little Farm)

One of the most wonderful times to experience this land is when the ecosystem wakes up from its winter slumber.. fruit trees begin to bud and blossom, mamas are getting ready to welcome new babies, and the plants are quenched and green.

The farm is 234 acres total; during your 2 hour walking tour, you'll stop by several key spots, including:

• Market garden, a certified wildlife habitat growing a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers. See first hand how we cultivate biodiversity to bolster the immulonolgy of the land and help balance pests and disease while growing food.
• Cows, chickens, sheep, ducks, goats and guardian dogs all have a role on our farm - who you'll see depends on the grazing rhythm
• Farm Fertility Center to learn how we build healthy soil rich in beneficial microbes using worms, compost, and biodynamic practices
• Wildlife Pond, the centerpiece of the farm’s native restoration and wildlife habitat efforts
• The Fruit Basket, our most diverse orchard where we cultivate 60+ different fruit varieties with cover crops and pollinator-friendly plants
• Alan York Lookout to take in sweeping views of the farm
• A visit to Itty, Emma the pig’s great-granddaughter

About Apricot Lane Farms

In 2011, John and Molly Chester embarked on a journey to farm in "harmony" with nature, bringing health, nutrients and diversity back to this land.. starting with the soil. Today, Apricot Lane Farms is a 234 acre certified Organic and Biodynamic working farm integrated within a reawakened ecosystem. We regeneratively grow more than 200 varieties of fruits and vegetables; and raise sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, goats and guardian dogs with reverence on pastures and within our orchards.
