Mt. Ridge Farms

Fuji season. We grow a few different varieties of Fuji apples. Featured is a Brak Fuji. We haven’t harvested this home block yet but Fuji season is definitely underway. #appleseason #fujiapple #apples #appleharvest #appleorchard #appletrees #fuji #brakfujiapple #adamscountypa #mtridgefarms

Mt. Ridge Farms uses KFS pressure treated posts and High Tensile wire from Bekaert Fencing to build long lasting trellis systems for their fruit production.

Peaches peaches and more peaches! #peachseason #peaches #mtridgefarms

Mt. Ridge Farms uses the Stockade Cordless Fence Stapler to construct their trellis systems. These 9ga staples are barbed with divergent points for increased holding strength, and can be fired quickly through the ST400I tool which does not require air compressors or hoses!

Demo day at the farm was a success! Always a pleasure to get with local farmers, chat about new equipment #ausa and eat pizza. Great day with @messick_farm_equipment #agequipment #applefarm #messicksfarmequipment #mtridgefarms

Happy 4th of July weekend! Look at this beautiful snack sized naturally red test apple variety from Apple Harvest 2020. Pictured is a test variety that is naturally small in size, very sweet, shelf stable for weeks, and has a beautiful red finish. Fantastic snack apple. #apples #applefarm #snackapple #redapple #smallapple #appleharvest #appleorchard #mtridgefarms

Why not share a sunny exciting picture on this rainy day. These grafts are taking off! Budded just a few weeks ago. Look at that growth. #applefarm #appleorchard #budding #graft #treegrafting #appletreegrafting #mtridgefarms

Pictured is a snapshot of our newly planted Royal Red Honeycrisp and (to the far left) BL14 Gala. We pushed out old doughnut peach trees and grape vines and replaced it with our high density apple orchard. On the far left of the picture you will notice a double leader tree that we are testing on Gala. To the right you’ll see our single leader straight wall planting of the Royal Red Honeycrisp. #appleorchard #royalredhoneycrisp #gala #galaapple #appletrees #applefarm #orchard #adamscounty #pafruitbelt #honeycrisp #newplantings #apple #fruitfarm #highdensityplantings #mtridgefarms

Prepping another block on the farm for planting this year. On our Orrtanna farm we have pushed out Myra Red Fujis, Golds, and Greenings and are planting Royal Red Honeycrisp! A few more things to be done to the ground before we can plant but we’ll get them in the ground this year! #appleorchard #planting #appletrees #groundwork #applefarm #appletreeplanting #mtridgefarms

Ambrosia. One of the newer varieties on the farm. This young block of Ambrosia has not come into product yet. These trees are on a 5 wire tall slender spinal trellis system. They are in their second year and several of the trees are very close to the top wire. Looking forward to harvesting these beauties in just another year or so! #ambrosia #ambrosiaapple #applevariety #apple #applefarm #appleorchard #appleharvest #appletree #mtridgefarms
