About Us (con't)

The older rootstocks of our trees and the high natural mineral content in the soil on the Canadian Shield, give our apples a taste that is second to none. We have also been able to reduce pesticide applications to a level that is less than 30 % of the average used by larger commercial orchards. This has been achieved by implementing "Integrated Pest Management" practices and our meticulous grading standards. We feel that our apples are grown as organically as possible, while still maintaining the strict standards required by our customer base. Pinewood Orchards is a member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and has participated in the Ontario Environmental Farm Plan program.
