Youth in the Orchard

      All Ward and Stake Youth organizations are encouraged to contact Bruce (801-547-4210) to set up a time to do special service projects on the farm.
      Youth are also encouraged to come and help thin and harvest fruit with their families or one on one adult supervision. 

Pests and Possible Changes

      There is a new pest that arrived in Utah this last year.  If it shows up in the orchard a new spray program will go into effect.  This may change the scheduled dates for thinning.
