Organic orchard since 2015 consists mostly of peaches and apples with some sweet cherries and grapes; an acre of sweet cherries is under high tunnel frames with propane heaters. The sophisiticated irrigation system employs two stages of filtration, a concrete settling basin and micro-sprinklers throughout. Three wind generators with a propane tank for each provide frost protection. Improvements include a contemporary straw bale home. The light filled main level features a large office and a great room opening onto a wraparound deck. The lower level walks out onto a wraparound patio and includes a master suite and second bedroom. A 13KW photovoltaic system connects to the grid and provides electricity to the house, cooler and equipment shed. The packing shed has its own septic system.
