Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Readying for Harvest
As we were driving to the Pinnacle farm stand in San Juan Valley yesterday, we passed apple orchards bursting of fruit.

Do they harvest manually by plucking the fruit off the tree or do they have a machine to shake the fruits off into the big buckets?
ReplyDeleteoceangirl,I don't know. Last year, I recall guys picking apples in the orchard across from this one. I wonder if it depends on where the apples go. Some orchardists sell all their apples to a nearby apple juice company, so I wouldn't be surprised if they use a machine.
