Why not Organic Apples in NY

It's hard to grow Organic apples in NY that meet standards needed to be sold at your local grocery store.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO THANK YOU~~~~ :) I have been trying to help people understand this the last 4-5 years as I branched out from the "Organic" "regenerative" stuff I was taught. There are some things it is good with, like plant health and ecosystem health, but it is also really good at increasing pest and pathogen species. I am so much happier knowing my fruit are grown well, but if I told people they aren't organic, I think they would be scared or not understand what it even means.

Thank You. Every environment is different. We need to do the best we can now and always do better in the future.

Your also packing dwarf trees in a monoculture so you’re going to get bugs that like apples and disease.

What would be good companion crops for a commercial orchard?
