Spring is again in the air at Lost Creek Hippies Vineyard!
After a pleasantly mild Winter, Spring is arriving with a vengeance, as usual. We’re presently struggling to keep up with pruning and fertilizing. It would be easier if we weren’t constantly going away to visit family and friends, but that’s life! Our 28 trees in our secured orchard area remain alive and sprouting, but our [...]
Happy Fall from Lost Creek Hippies Vineyard (Orchard)!
Happy Fall to all! Finally, we seem to be slowing down a bit. Our 4 established McIntosh apple trees produced several hundred apples, and 37 Honeycrisp newer plantings are growing, slowly. We’re expecting them to become productive in another 2-3 years… we’ve learned to be very patient. On a much happier note, our 7th Annual Fun(d) Raising [...]

A Spring (Finally) Update from the Orchard!
Finally it feels like Spring has arrived and Summer is around the corner! We have continued to make gradual progress in our Apple Orchard.

Thank You For Making the 2021 Fall FUN(d) Raising Party a HUGE SUCCESS!
Happy Fall to all! The weather is finally changing from Summer to Fall (we’re not at all unhappy with the extra days of beautiful weather).
