Today I'm so excited to share this trip to a wonderful place. Century Farm Orchard is one of the best heritage apple tree farms in the world, with apple trees dating back to the days of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson! How amazing that one man is continuing this traditional way of growing apples. Come along with us folks as we explore the open house at Century Farms Orchards in Reidsville North Carolina...I hope ya'll enjoy it as much as we did

My wife and I visited here around 10 years ago. We ordered apple trees and started a small orchard. It was really cool seeing the place again. It hasn't changed at all. David has a real passion for apple trees. I have two kids now, your video makes me want to take them there. It's a unique experience. Great video Josh.
Glad I took you back on memory lane
Stoney Ridge Farmer Are you planning on having plums in your orchard? We had a plum tree that produced the most delicious plums I have ever eaten in my life. My mom made plum jam from them one year it was Devine!
Thank you! I'll check them out in spring when I'm ready to buy my next apple tree.
Try Ison's for muscadines, they have been around for a few generations in Georgia. I love that southern muscadine wine!
OMGosh you just brought back memories of a cool place we had here in Middle TN. It was a pumpkin farm (Fall is my fave time of year) and they had an old barn they turned into a little store where you could get all things pumpkin, some apple ciders, apples, corn stalks, ect. You could pick your own pumpkins by taking a hay ride out to the fields, play games, the kids could climb on huge round bales of hay painted like giant pumpkins. It was just a fabulous place to visit and enjoy the Autumn. Sadly it ended up closing down and now we have to drive an hour to get anything similar; but nothing compares to that one.
Thank you Josh for doing this for all of us to see
This is a must see video. Lots of information.
I've seen most of your videos but happened across this one while searching for information on the trees I ordered from David. Thanks for the tour. I'm just south of you in Southern Pines.
Nice! Thanks for sharing, Josh. I grew up on an apple orchard in Cleveland County, NC. We had only 3 type of apples. it's crazy to see all these other type. I see a road trip in my future to come to the open house in a couple of weeks!
Never seen so many varieties in one place. Would of loved to taste test some.
Wow, this is right up the road from me. I had no Idea it was there. My husband and I live in the Union Ridge area of Alamance County.
I'm expanding my orchard next year so I'm gonna check them out online. Thanks for the info , if I lived closer me and the wife would have gone there with you .
OMG! I WANT THOSE TREES!😀😀 Great informative vlog!
Superb video thank you for sharing.. I have been ordering trees from David for the past eight years. We have just under two hundred heirloom trees (34 varieties) from David. Like…!
Thanks Josh! Keep on making those vid's, we love them!
Yes sir!
Awesome orchard!
Truly a great place and a man that has some knowledge to share
I'm so thankful for this video, incredibly interesting! I would have never been able to see otherwise so thank you!
Wow! I didn’t even know there were so many types of apples 🍏🍎 Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mrs Stony Ridge I Love watching you guys
Awesome video!!! I've got to go there.I live in N.West Ms.and I have been told this area I live in is just not suited for growing apples. Too HOT and humid.
You can. Search Kuffel creek farm.
Thanks for the welcome... Nice video. Reminds me of Michigan back in the day. Regards... P.S. great music
LOL! Pretty sure you and Mrs. Stoney Ridge are going to have some characters running around the farm helping you out with the vlog. Very cool. WOOOOOO!
We are planning & thinking about planting a small orchard here. Thanks for the info! More great ideas!!!
Great info
Very educational thank you for sharing
Yes sir
Great video, I love apples!
I love me some heritage apple trees! So far I have 12 different heritage apple trees. Have considered ordering from them, and will definitely take another look. Love the taste testing!
You might mention that you have to get to different types of apple trees that bloom at the same timevso they can cross-pollinate, or they won't produce.
Josh, check out adding some kiwi trees to the mix. Just a couple of trees will produce hundreds of kiwis for you! A heavy pruning once per year keeps them manageable. We just picked my father in law's trees about a month ago and came home with bags full of kiwis. A good addition for the SRF!
That's Awesome they have Apples that go back to George Washington
Good job on the production of this and all of your videos
Thanks buddy
should try the Gala apples should be polinated with red delicious or golden apples. Absolutely fantastic sweet and crispy.
Awsome I whant go.their one day
This was a very good video, information wise thanks
Beautiful!
Great information.
Try to go to Hendersonville nc on the apples you will like it on the history of it
I was going to ask if Cali was still considered part of the US. I’d love a few trees on farm place. I had no idea there were so many variety’s. Apple trees grow great in the Sierra mountains.
Just checked, looks like this upcoming weekend (11/18) is the last weekend. No dates in December? MAybe I can make it up there. Would love to try some of the other types of apples. Love me some apples......
Thank you for the info josh, been looking for a place to get trees, gonna plant around 50 apple trees this winter. I looked at their website and I don’t mean to correct you but the website says the open house is the three weekends in November prior to thanksgiving but thank you for this info cause I didn’t know a place like this was so close to me. I’m going next weekend to pick mine up
Take care buddy, thank you for the awesome videos buddy!!!!
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤
Great video, Josh, I really enjoyed it! The beard is looking fantastic! I have been wanting to ask you how long you are going to continue working as a nurse and do you plan to convert to a full-time farmer in the near future. Nice job on the first interview!
We shall see on the Career change...probably several years down the road from full time farmer/homesteader
They have figs & pears too.
veeeeeery interesting What no pies or candy ones
Josh! Just sent David an email. Thanks for another great video. Wooooo
Is there any place where we can buy heritage apples? I don't have land to plant trees but I sure miss my parent's heritage apples from Jackson County.
there's a link to this orchard in the video description my friend
I wonder if he has some Rawley trees. I’ve been looking for my family’s variety since I found out it was part of the Stallard heritage. Especially in my direct lineage (huge family).
Josh what variety did you all decide on?
as always good video.
have you got an orchard on the farm yet ?
Are you guys getting the Arkansas black apple tree
I can only imagine how many deer are around that area.
I love apples but I'll leave that applesauce worm to you LOL
lol
Maybe you could do a vdeo with Rhett and Link.
Are you getting the George Washington tree
How is the Apple Jack
we make apple alcohol from i dont know apples dont know how iz in english but in mine is bobovc
We all it hard cider
Anyone have a recommendation for good heirloom varieties that might be dwarf size? Is that dependent on the rootstock? I'd like to get a large number of these trees in a small space.
Dependent on rootstock. Bud 9 is common dwarf stock
You mean November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest disappointments of shopping in the USA is the terrible apples for sale. They are too big to eat , and no flavour and rubbish texture. There is a red one that looks like wax it's so shiny , but is absolute wet tasteless cardboard pap!. We have some bad apples in UK (granny smith , golden delicious , red delicious ) but that red American one, uuuuh , good to see that people are rediscovering nice apples. Do you have anything like a Cox's Orange Pippen?
What worse than biting into an apple....and finding a worm.............A:........Biting into an apple and finding half of a worm
Its funny how no matter what I'm researching the blogger, author, spokesman, Rep etc always emphasize CALIFORNIA. Its crazy just how strict my great state can get lol. Pain in the ass but still great
👍 🍏 🍎 🍏
👍Thx Mr Josh & ‘peeps’-
Apples around here are so NOT flavorful it makes me sick-👀-
The apple peel is so thick & scientifically engineered to make it to market and store in an effort to stop damage before customer buys...
it takes a lot of taste out of the apple- IMO- just sayin’- Same with our store bought tomatoes. 🍅 🍅
(Louisville, KY stinks)
Ha ...
Arkansas is similar to king david so i'm told.
Thats awesome, hope to be ordering some scions from him this year so i can do some more of my own grafting. I think you would be able to figure it out man it aint that hard. If you got some time i would say to check out some of this playlist ua-cam.com/video/3uJACcsOmMI/v-deo.html
He is a bit long winded so you could probably skip through but there is some great information in there and he probably covers just about everything. I grafted a bunch last season and learned which way will be the best for me. Really excited for this next grafting season coming up. Hope to do alot more.
December ? It’s November
Wow you are a Tall guy I am only 5-5
That's funny. I've had Arkansas Black apples here in Arkansas, and they wete terrible. No flavor, and kind of mealy. He must have a better strain.
Would really have liked to seen and heard less of you, (sorry) and seen more of the apples. So wish you would have slowly gone down the rows so we could have seen the wonderful apples that were there and actually read the tags. If ever you go back, please do so for those of us who will never get there.
Well if you’re 6’5” your wife must be 4’7” cause she struggles to get into the camera. By gosh you should show her sometime cause she much more better looking than you!! 🤣😂🤣😂🇺🇸😜
Yea I know...tough to interview anyone when I'm not sitting down lol
