Orchards
The fruit we grow and the health of the trees.
Caring for what grows here
Good fruit starts well before the harvest. The orchards keep us close to the practical work of tending trees, caring for the soil and using water thoughtfully.
A year in the orchard
Flowering, fruiting and harvest each bring a different job. The seasons guide the work, while the health of the trees and soil shapes our longer-term decisions.
GROWING / LAND
Care through the seasons
The orchards are part of the Farm’s productive landscape. Looking after them means paying attention to the trees, the soil and the water needed to support a harvest.
Avocado growing is part of the Farm’s story. Decisions about what to plant and how to care for it start with the ground, the water and the growing conditions here.
01
What grows here
The orchard is one part of a broader mix of fruit and nut growing at Bangadang, alongside the Food Forest and truffery.
02
Water and soil
Tree health depends on what is happening above and below the ground. Water use and soil care are part of deciding how the orchards develop.
03
The growing year
Watching the trees through flowering, fruiting and harvest helps inform the next season’s care. It is work that rewards attention over time.
