Bonjour! My wife and I own an 6 hectares orchard in Oka (Québec). We will be certified this year on time for the 2014 harvest season (or so we hope!). In 2013, we open the orchard to self pickers and it was a resounding success! People were very happy to finally have an organic orchard near Montreal. It was very encouraging especially since 2013 turned out to be a mild disaster (bad apple scab year, problems selling some apple varieties). Thank God I can weld and fix things! Spraying an orchard is VERY time sensitive. If your equipment fails, you are in a BIG hurry to get back on track! I make my own insecticidial soap and my own Lime sulfur mix. I plan to make the triangle quick-attach hitch soon. Very happy to have found this website! Francis
