Our orchard is just a few acres, the site of an old orchard going back more than 100 years. About half of the existing orchard was planted on the land of Melinda and Richard Gougeon about 25 years ago by a local apple grower. The orchard eventually fell out of use, not being large enough on its own to be viable on a traditional commercial scale, and too large for Lindy and Rich (without growing experience) to deal with as a \u201chome\u201d orchard. In 2005 Lindy and Rich\u2019s son Steve, his wife Jen Williams and their sons Aidan and Elliot, bought Rich and Lindy\u2019s house and put a second family addition on it, putting three generations on the property.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_950\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 310px;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.greylockglass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/BearSwamp1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-950 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.greylockglass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/BearSwamp1-300x225.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greylockglass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/BearSwamp1-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.greylockglass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/BearSwamp1.jpg 960w\" alt=\"Bear Swamp Orchard offers sweet cider in season, so children can enjoy the organic apple goodness!\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bear Swamp Orchard offers sweet cider in season, so children can enjoy the organic apple goodness!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Already growing a lot of our own food, and interested in small scale sustainable growing, we started into the world of growing \u201corganic\u201d apples.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, with a lot of reading, seminars, apple grower meetings, conversations with other growers, pruning, thinning, bug identification, spraying, pruning and more thinning, we are now starting to get good crops of apples from the orchard once again, and are able to offer them for sale. And with 20 year history in home-brewing and fermenting hard cider, and an interest in selling it, we don\u2019t need to have the best looking apples if a lot of them are going into to the tank.
