Peru’s apples will be enjoyed almost all year long
Peru – October 5, 2023 – As Peru residents know, it’s harvest time. Trucks haul corn or apples on many local roads this time of year. The bins Forrence Orchards haul weigh 750 to 800 pounds each, depending on the apple variety.Once the apples enter the warehouse, experienced workers level the bins, either adding a few apples or removing some. That’s necessary because the bins are stacked eight high in Forrence’s temperature-controlled storage area. When the apples are sold between now and late spring, forklifts will transport the bins to the packaging machines and personnel.
Forrence Orchards packed Snap Dragon apples this morning. Yes, they snap when you take a bite and they are delicious!
