Jaye and I walked around Sandisfield Orchard in late September 2025 with orchard manager Joe Pappas, looking at the apples ripening, new varieties, discussing advanced Integrated Pest Management strategies to reduce any spraying. Mating disruption of pests, trap trees, nutrients for the healthiest trees. We stopped in their new cafe and spent the last 20 minutes in Joe’s office discussing the topics more deeply.
