At Mead Orchards, growing exceptional fruit starts with caring for the land. For more than a century, we've combined generations of orchard knowledge with modern, science-based farming practices to grow healthy, flavorful fruit while protecting the environment.

 

How We Care for Our Crops

We use a sustainable approach called Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Rather than relying on routine spraying, we carefully monitor our orchards throughout the season and use natural methods whenever possible (including beneficial insects, pheromone traps, mulch and netting) to keep our trees healthy.

 

If a treatment ever becomes necessary, we use only carefully selected products, applied in the smallest effective amounts to help protect our customers, our pollinators and our farm.

 

Rooted in the Hudson Valley Since 1916

Mead Orchards has been family-owned and operated since 1916. As stewards of permanently protected farmland, we're committed to preserving the land for future generations while producing the freshest fruit possible for our community.

 

Every season, our growing decisions are guided by generations of experience, trusted crop advisors, university research and a simple goal: to grow the healthiest, most delicious fruit we can.
