On
August 27, 2005 two new additions arrived
at Royal Oak Farm Orchard! Crispin
and McIntosh, better known as Chris and Mac, are two year old Huacayas
(pronounced wa-KAI-ya) alpacas. |
Cris
(on the left) and Mac (on the right) are waiting in their new
paddock next to the "Royal Oak Express" train for your visit. They
will be available to feed and pet each day the orchard is open. |

In
April of 2005 we purchased a 30' Wattman trackless
train with authentic looking train designs. Delivered in
April, the train will be used in our Entertainment area each day,
as well as in local community events throughout the year! |
In
July of 2006, we added a gezebo around our 1997 High
Lite Carousel for our Entertainment Area. It is a 14 horse
ride for kids and adults in excellent condition with beautifully detailed
horses, scenery and solid oak flooring. |

| In
2001 we built a 30' diameter Teepee with authentic looking Indian
designs. School children in particular love meeting in the
Teepee before taking their orchard tour. |
In
the spring of 2005 we added over 3,000 new
summer and early fall raspberry plants and expanded our total
acreage of raspberrys. We will now have raspberries to pick from
July through September. |

| In
2004 we moved our porch sales area to our
new "Apple
Barn". The Apple Barn is located where the patio was
and has an "open air market" feel. It houses all
of our pre-picked apple varieties as well as a popcorn machine and
our famous cider "slushee" machine. In
2007, we are adding fresh mirai sweet corn from Audust through
September. |
In
the spring of
2007 we added more apple trees for a total
of 600 new apple trees. That brings our total to over 11,000 apple trees! The new varieties included Early Auvil Fuj. We
also added additional peach trees representing a new variety of white peaches. In
the spring we also removed some older peach trees, bringing our total to over 1,000. |
