- As we were looking for land around the Finger Lakes, we fell in love with a property that was near to Littletree Orchards, which is a U-Pick orchard that also sells to local markets, including Greenstar Co-op and the Ithaca Farmers Market. Started in the mid-1970s, Littletree is one of those destinations you have to experience for yourself. Their U-Pick typically opens in the late summer through fall.

"The work-around-imperfection" I like him! 🍎🍎🍎😊
I really enjoyed this video. Apple orchards hold fond memories for me of my grandfather's orchard on the farm. He had done his own grafts so one tree would have two or three varieties of apples. To pick I would tuck my shirt into my pants and then drop the apples down the inside of my shirt. It was also my job to pick the fallen apples to make cider. We'd rent a press for the day and our apple cider was always so delicious.
Thanks for taking me back for a trip in time. I'm a macintosh lover and I just purchased a macintosh apple tree.
Barbara, such fond memories you have on the orchard! Glad this could stir up some childhood memories for you. :) Now we want some cider !
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. It truly moved my heart this morning.💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this! Carrying on knowledge & care of the land is a must.
Great cinematography in the Intro ❤️❤️❤️

I am loving these videos so much. Very enjoyable.
Glad you like them!
Me too!
I have one apple tree planted in pot and I got a good apple harvest last year.I’m so happy to see your apple orchard tour and learn from it.I have planted one more apple from seeds and it’s sprouting now
I want to visit when the trees are in bloom. Mmmmmm, apple blossom.
A truly beautiful and educational cast. Thank you for sharing your experience.
WOW Such a nice place with all kinds of apples. I am just a couple of hours away. I need to visit this Fall. Thanks for sharing this amazing story.
This was really great! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
There's something special about wandering through apple orchards
Wow...growing apples is very involved. Who knew? Very interesting information and what a gorgeous expanse of land. It's so beautiful up there! Thank you for sharing. 😀
Our pleasure! Thank you for taking the time to watch ;)
Oh & look into step over apples for small gardens. They are beautiful.
Loved watching this! I never knew there were so many types of apples.. And now I’m craving them 🍎 😋 Hoping to visit this beautiful orchard at some point this year!
Thanks for bringing us to this place. Beautiful💚
What a wonderful visit...very interesting info on apple growing. On my bucket list for a visit.
I have just been romanced by the passion.....A wonderful episode !
Lovely, just lovely
Summer has the right livelihood.
That epic intro montage & music caught me off guard. lol.
Hippies and nature. It has to be fun.
Who knew that Ithaca is such a Mecca for permaculture and alternative living situations? Thanks!
Loved the apple philosophy!
I love this! Excited to go visit Littletree Orchards this season, make new friends, and pick my own apples. We're in the process of buying an abandoned 75 acre farm in the area and we've been loving watching the FLOCK videos.
I have autoplay on and this just started after the last video I was watching. I wouldn't have chosen it but I'm so glad it started. This was so interesting. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting this.
Wow so beautiful environment amazing
Just the peace and love I needed. Thank you for the beautiful content.🙂✌🏼❤️🪴
What a great group of folks...I can’t wait for apple picking !
Really loved watching this ❤
So much knowledge! Thank you for sharing!
Great Orchard, love to visit, im from Ireland and love growing fruit, I have I’ve 45 different fruit trees and will add 10 more this year . Well done
These places are so cool
A very nice vid, I have learnt something out of this. Thanks mate!
Wonderful video!
That is a super orchard experience. 🍎🍏🐝 Beautifully displayed wonderful products too. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoying your videos 💚
Thank you so much! Thanks for tuning in.
I can't stop watching your channel
this reminds me of the really old apple tree just barely in the adjacent forest, it smells amazing in bloom. it's so old that it's sprouted from the ground several times, each reaching a dozen feet in the air at least. i'd love to one day encourage it to fruit to see what it tastes like
This video is so good! I love these people. I'm going to try and make lemon balm cider vinegar now! Thanks Summer.
You're so welcome! Tell us what you think of your new cider creation :)
@@FlockFingerLakes - Really enjoyed making it and I've left it to brew! Really inspired by this video :)
Love this! Baby apples!
thanks I loved this video!
Really enjoyed this video :)
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks for taking the time to watch.
I love this episode the lady is so sweet she 's bless to have orchard like that bless from God
I am still waiting joey to go home to Finger Lakes and film and tell his story. Three people on the camera. His life seems interesting to know because his work is wonderful to human race. When he is going to home, Summer, Saunder???
He's back! You should already be seeing a bit more Joey cameo appearances :)
I love this. I also really like the apple products you have like vinegar and donuts. I would love to do that in the future. Also I want to do hard cider.
This episode made me so HUNGRY! Love apples and would love to go there, the place looks beautiful and the people seem very nice. Hugs from Colombia
Another great vid from team. I like it. :)
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching :)
Loved this video, a lot of useful information. I have several apple trees that we haven’t been taking care of very well, I guess you could say they’re extremely organic in nature☹️. Many people want organic produce but they also don’t understand that they’re not going to be getting a picture prefect product. I have a hard time with the timing of getting the trees sprayed, because it either extremely windy or raining. The wind is the biggest factor for us I guess. Now that the blossoms are gone I can spray if I can get out there on a windless day. The damage is probably already done, but I might be able to keep a few insects from feasting on the fruit.Thank you Ms. Summer💚🙃
A beekeeping friend said that the best way to keep the bees off the clover in the grass under the apple trees at spraying time is to cut the grass first so the flower heads are removed from the clover.
I love the dude at the end talking frankly about "organic" vs "synthetic" treatments. Most organic sprays on the market are more wishful thinking than actually doing something. Some are functional, but not as a market farmer because your inputs cost more than the product your selling. The ecological impact of small scale spraying is less than negligeable when done properly as he was saying.
Joyful 🍎 🍏 ❤️
PS Egremont Russet is my fav apple. I think they have a toffee apple flavour just under the skin.
Love the apple 🍎🍎🍎
I love them so much! Want to visit, but for now I am running out the door to get an apple!
By the way did you ask them, or do you know where the first apples started growing in the Americas? As a New Mexican boy, we always claimed Northern New Mexico.
Love
such a charming little group of women
Arkansas Black is my favorite 🍎
I would LOVE a Steve Jobs conference for new apples
Just wondering If there is any possibility that you might be able to do a similar video in a peach orchard? I’m particularly interested in how to stop stone crop bores from killing my stone fruit trees. I’ve tried to grow peaches, and cherries unsuccessfully for a very long time. I’ve lost quite a few trees to the stone crop bores and I’m determined to successfully grow the new peach tree that I’ve planted.If I can succeed in keeping that one peach tree alive I would love to plant more and possibly some cherry trees.I live about twenty miles from some beautiful peach orchards but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to walk outside and pick a ripe peach off of the tree when it’s at its peak? I remember one year visiting my favorite orchard picking a peach off of the tree and eating it with its juice poring out of it as I took a bite. Oh was that delicious. Unfortunately the orchard is now a community of houses and I never was able to find out the variety of that peach. The owners wife passed away, and so did the orchard and I’m sure I’ll never know the name of that wonderful, beautiful peach. ( in my youth I assumed that the orchard would be there forever and I could eventually find out the name of the peach) I’m sure she told me at the time but I again assumed that since I had forgotten it, it would always be there for me to pick from.☹️💚🙃
Thanks Judy, we'll try to find some peach orchards up this way. Stonefruits here are definitely more challenging!
The mealy mushy ones I would image are good for making apple butter and
ciders but when it comes to a fresh apple, consistency and texture dominates the
pallet for me. Of the crisp apples I really have to try the rome beauty, the gobstopper of apples! The complexity of the favor profile is probably at its height when ripe but I do not like too sweet. I am partial to a tart apple. I am interested in trying the astringent apples.
💗
I like the Akane apple, but it doesn't store a long time.

May I recommend Owen orchards voted best apple cider in NY and the greatest apple cider doughnuts
❤😂

I love that they described themselves as the stewards of the land. Some Americans won’t even acknowledge the people that were living here prior to the arrival of European superpowers to the New World.

Tatyana Salova, Botanist, Kazakh Botanical Institute:
"Selectionists from America and Europe have been cross-breeding closely related varieties, which has led to resulting varieties losing their resistance to diseases. Now, for instance, gardens are (chemically) sprayed up to thirty times (a season). Who needs that? Neither the producers nor the consumers."
The guy didnt really answer the questions directly haha

We love when he shed some tears. So sweet.
Dennis is a dead ringer for Tommy Lee Jones
Mos ta shikoj surratin....
After learning so much about permaculture orchards i dont think i can ever be pleased with a monoculture.

Why did Dennis and Anna did not work out to have as cool neighbors?
I think it was during their property hunting. This might have been adjacent to a property they wanted but there were some difficulties in purchasing it (whether there was a conservation easement, or there was another buyer that placed their bid first, etc.). Either way I doubt it was the fault of how they got along with Dennis and Anna, just the state of how fast-paced the real estate market is now
@@emalinel I appreciate your reply. However, I would like to know what Summer meant with that comment.🤔
Hi Maria, yep Emaline is correct (Emailine, you clearly watched our other videos!). We really liked a property nearby Dennis and Anna, but it was under a very strict conservation easement and we wouldn't have been able to do much with the land (e.g., cut any wood, do permaculture, or build anything that couldn't be disassembled). See video reference here if you're curious: ua-cam.com/video/3me5d-jw_c0/v-deo.html
@@FlockFingerLakes Thanks for your reply, Summer. I guess I have some catching up to do with your videos!!🤔😊
