Springdale Fruit Company - Apple blossom with bee polinating

The Orchard

Grown in our beautiful canyon along the Virgin River, surrounding Zion National Park, our organic fruit is enriched by warm sunlight, clear skies, cool nights, and a long 230-day growing season. Kept on our trees to fully ripen, our apples are widely acclaimed for their rich and succulent flavor.

  
             
 

2009 HARVEST INFORMATION

U-PICK ORGANIC GALA & FUJI APPLES

On Monday, August 03, we began harvest of our gala apples, and this year marks our inaugural season for U-Pick. Bring the family for the unique experience of picking your own apples to take home. This is one of the most beautiful places you will ever visit. Enjoy the fresh-air, spectacular scenery, and the bountiful fruit. Historically, fuji harvest begins in September.

For more information, contact the market.

 

Apple tree with young apple

Our apple trees are grown with an M-7 rootstock which produces a semi-dwarf tree.  The trees will not get much larger than the trees you now can see around the fruit market.  The trees will, however, continue producing a wide, dense canopy of leaves to help cool the soil and conserve water.

Each spring brings a beauty like no other; the apple blossom. Indigenous Honeybees, and sometimes Orchard Mason Bees, work to cross pollinate the flowers to develop the fruit. Mexican Freetail bats naturally control the pests, avoiding the use of harsh chemical pesticides.

 

 

For over a millennium, our canyon of fertile, virgin soils and abundant, pristine water has been farmed organically by the Anasazi, the Piute, the Mormon settlers, and for over 25 years by our family. We grow our healthy, ripe, certified organic fruit, and proudly offer it to you for your health and enjoyment.

The Garden

Similar to our orchard, the garden has never been exposed to chemical fertilizers, or pesticides. Keeping with the tradition of growing healthful produce, our garden generates food that is delicious in flavor.

We nurture, from seed and organic starter plant, a variety of flowers, vegetables, and  herbs.


2009 Update: The Garden is not in production this year.
