The north block has a 125 hp pump at 260. The south block has a 60 hp pump at 220. The orchards primary water source comes from a 50 hp lift pump out of the South Sutter Water District canal that borders the property to the east. In addition to SSWD, the orchard is also irrigated by 60 hp lift pump out of Pleasant Grove creek under a diversion permit from the Department of Water Resources. Furthermore, all pumps are filtered before they put water into an irrigation system that is inter-connected north and south

Comments

This orchard is just now coming into its prime producing years and the yields have been rapidly increasing. The current owner spared no expenses in the development of this orchard and irrigation system and is poised to be an excellent producing orchard for many years to come. In addition, this ranch provides one with numerous recreational opportunities. The 15-acre lake situated in the middle of the orchard is truly an oasis of enjoyment and beauty.
