Growing the Future: Women, Apples, and Adirondack Agriculture

A fascinating story that highlights the vital role agriculture plays in Clinton County and across the Champlain Valley.

Third-generation farmer Jenna Mulbury of Northern Orchard in Peru shares an inside look at commercial apple growing with ADK Talks. From why northern New York provides ideal conditions for apple production to the science and dedication behind every harvest, Jenna offers a deeper appreciation for a fruit many of us enjoy every day. She also reflects on the responsibility and pride of carrying on a family farming tradition that dates back more than a century.

If you've ever wondered what goes into producing that New York apple in your kitchen, this conversation is well worth a listen.
