Why eat 150# of apples (1 large apple per day)
The Skipley Farm Fruit Tree Nursery is a small but diverse enterprise situated on 8 acres of land in the lovely county of Snohomish. The land was 98 years in cattle and horses, with deep clays, and clayloam topsoil which is rich in natural organic matter. This is a huge advantage as it means the soil is always moist allowing roots to enjoy optimum growing conditions all year round. As a result, our trees are strong and healthy with well-developed root systems.
The fact that our fruit trees are grafted on site and ‘grown on’ in the open
