Local Virginia apple crop harvests see strong quality despite hail
Maryland and Virginia growers report a solid harvest with good size and flavor. Marker Miller Orchards in Frederick County fields 200 acres while Richard’s Fruit Market on 80 acres notes April freeze and July hail. Nittany and Honeycrisp dominate markets. Timber Ridge Fruit Farm and Glaize Apples run packing, 60 percent to processing, 40 percent fresh. About 240 workers, mostly H-2A from Mexico and Jamaica, help pick across Winchester camps.
