Farm Life 1.0 – Growing with the Trees

“Coffee in the Orchard” – Soergel Orchards – Wexford, PA – I haven’t had much time to write lately… I started a new job and it has been an all in experience… This is a photograph of how some of my mornings start… Coffee in an orchard on top of the hill…

“Pumpkin Field” – Soergel Orchards – Butler County, PA – So many pumpkins it would make your head spin… Up and over the hill… Hand plugged…

“Lonely Ladder” – Soergel Orchards – Wexford, PA – I’ll bet I climbed this ladder a thousand times the other day… Thinning fruit and tied to the wires…

“For Scale” – Soergel Orchards – Wexford, PA – I still can’t believe the scale of this place… This is just a small part of it too… I found it interesting to think that at the end of this day… I personally touched every single one of these apple trees…

“Apples after Thinning” – Soergel Orchards – Wexford, PA – I intend to try every apple in this orchard… Here is a photo I snapped immediately after thinning…

“Egg in a Nest” – Soergel Orchards – Wexford, PA – more often then not the easiest way to the top of a tree is to climb it… I found this nest near the top of an older one…

“A Different Type of Alley” – Soergel Orchards – Wexford, PA – This day started off foggy and damp as can be seen in my ladder photograph… But the day ended on a beautiful note… I will start writing again soon… But I am immersing myself in my new job at the moment… I have so much to learn… Every day is something new… Please be patient while I figure out how this blog will change with my new life change…
