With more than 300 apple varieties to choose from, it's pretty clear that NSO is passionate about all things APPLE! Applesauce, apple butter, apple cider, and apple information. We know how to grow them, how to pick them, how to store them, and how to get them to you.
Now we have a few more interesting tidbits to add to YOUR apple knowledge:
"My tricorder can't make heads or tails of this thing, but I hear it's helpful for farms. Beats me - I'm a doctor, not a annelidologist!" 
Don’t let anyone ever tell you farming isn’t a year-round job. It most definitely is. Even when it isn’t harvest season, there are still planning sessions and a slew of tasks vital to making the rest of the year run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. This is especially true at North Star Orchard!

Welcome to "Warm Winter #2" (the implied #1 herein referred to being last winter, 2016).
"Captain, although primitive, this forcefield is nontheless quite effective against larger pest species from the rodent family."
As you have probably noticed by now, NSO does not have many (if any) apple varieties that you have ever seen in the grocery store or even at most other farm stands! We want our apples to not only look great but taste even better, so we spend lots of time selecting (and by that I mean tasting lots of apples - good and bad) which apples to grow for you.
I know a lot of folks freeze or can their own sauce from fresh tomatoes. Sadly, for most of us (this farmer included!), we either don't have the time or the enegy or the know-how (or maybe all 3!) to DIY, so we end up purchasing tomato products in cans or jars from the store all winter. Now we can enjoy a way better alternative.
