Corcoran Ranch Apple Orchard 

Granny Smith Apples

Those of you who have been here before know that there are many stories connected to this orchard.  We planted the last row of our first 100 trees the day that we confirmed that Megan was to be born, and when she was 5 and David was 2, we began our U-pick /field trip years.  At Meg's invitation, Michael Fabian came to the orchard for the first time the weekend before the Witch Creek Fire changed it forever. Michael and Megan came to prune  recovering trees on the day they became engaged this past February, and on June 7, 2009, they were married in the grassy area, in the presence of many friends and family.  They planted a gala apple tree in that same last row.  It's a new beginning, and our 24th  season.. We'll change the picture next year.

Here's the plan:
