PieTree has since added peaches, pears, plums, strawberries, blueberries, pumpkins and even hops. “We’re still tweaking how we do this,” Margaret smiles. “And we’re lucky to have the road to separate the different sides.” The Waterford road splits the orchards into two parts: one side is organically grown, in its first year of a three-year organic certification, while the other side is conventional. Scott Miller, who has been the farm manager here at the orchard for four years, admits that Pietree’s organic label hasn’t yet been an obvious selling point. “The response hasn’t been over- whelming,” he says. “People don’t seem to care too much whether it’s grown organically or not.” He’s not altogether sure why, as the price difference isn’t extreme. A half bushel of non-organic apples costs $12, while a half bushel of the organic rings in at $15. Both vari- eties look healthy and blemish free. Scott is an apple tree aficionado, and is referred to as the Apple Doc. One of his many new projects is grafting new varieties onto old trees. “We had so many Red Delicious, I didn’t know what to do with them all,” he says, driving a Scott Miller, co-owner of PieTree Orchard (Sarah Earle/Mountain Ear Photo) Open weekends only, 9am to 5pm Saturdays, Sundays and Columbus Day.

He decided to do some experimenting, grafting a dif- ferent variety of apple onto each pruned Red Delicious, a procedure that takes time, know-how and persistence. “People don’t realize how much work it takes to grow apples,” he says ruefully. “A good orchard is a product of good management.” The apple varieties being grown at Pietree are already plentiful. Vista Belle’s and Paula Red’s are ready as early as August, Macintosh and Cortland’s are ripe in September and then a slew of October fruit, such as Macoun, Northern Spies, Golden Delicious, and Winesap, one of the oldest apples in North America, come to fruition. Randall’s Orchards in Standish, Maine, will soon press Pietree apples into their own cider. Margaret reckons the peaches, plums and pears will take another three years to produce, but until then, there are plenty of apples to pick-your-own, or drop by the farm stand and buy a bag. Located at 803 Waterford Road, the stand is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The orchard has a website for more details at www.pietree.com as well. “I bought the .com, the .net and the .org for Pietree so there wouldn’t be any confusion,” laughs Margaret. And con- fusion there is not. Margaret and Scott both seem to have a clear vision and enthusiasm for this beautiful orchard in ▲ Organic apples flux.

  • SENIOR NEWSLETTER July 18, 2021
    SENIOR NEWSLETTER July 18, 2021 Greetings from Senior Winona! We certainly enjoyed a full week of events, trips and competitions. This summer, under the guidance of Aunt Luanne, Performing and Visual Arts have been offered as a new Senior activity. These skills were put in service last Sunday when Senior Winona hosted Sunday Vespers. Uncle Trip wrote a short play titled, The Wonch. The storyline highlighted Winona's philosophy on inclusion and friendship. The Wonch may have felt “wonchy” when he was friendless and lonely, but the Winona Senior campers welcomed him to join them in camp activities. The Wonch discovered he could make new friends and he found happiness at Winona. The Wonch was played by Mun Luak. Other actors included: Henry Hoffman, Renzo Martinez, Nuer Bol-Rik, Dash Lamphier, Ben Lemieux, Jack Wetter and Wesley Persons . Technical arts helpers included: Thomas Gasperini, Lyle Fuchs, Henry Hoffman, Lucas Sao Marcos, Marco Sierra, Jack Wetter, Ryan Hays, Xander Krauskopf and Matt MacDougall. On Monday, the Mountain Trippers and the Allagash adventurers (see more on the Allagash on page 2) departed for remote wilderness areas. The Mountain Bikers also saddled up and departed for North Conway, New Hampshire, where they explored a technical mountain bike trail network. Xander Krauskopf, Dash Lamphier, Matt MacDougall, Gunnar Lundin, Devan Sarkar, Owen Manning, Max Rosenbaum, Lorenzo Vannoni, Quinn Hoffman and Liam Kirby pedaled around Pudding Pond and explored an abandoned quarry. Later in the day, the boys found some jumps and learned how to safely navigate their air-time. The heat of the day was forgotten when they found a nice swimming spot on the Swift River.

  • Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest
    Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest “Scenic Areas are places of outstanding or unique beauty that require special management to preserve their qualities. This type area will be maintained as nearly as possible in an undisturbed condition.” Secretary of Agriculture Rules and Regulations from 1960. Scenery in the Era of Tourism, Railroads and Logging: 1880-1911 Few people know much about the designation of scenic areas on the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF). Even fewer can identify all ten designated scenic areas even though they may have visited them or saw the boundaries marked on trail maps. The purpose of this article is to tell the fascinating story of designated scenic areas and to encourage the reader to visit and appreciate these special areas. Scenery played an important role in the early tourist history of the White Mountains. Artists and vacationers came in large numbers to enjoy the majestic views, clear streams and green forests starting in the 1880’s as the passenger railroads reached the mountains. The White Mountain School of Art played an important role in heralding the beauty of these mountains. The coming of the railroads brought more than tourists and artists. It brought the lumber barons who had previously skipped the White Mountain forests because of their inaccessibility. Most White Mountain rivers were unsuitable for driving logs but the technological advances of the steam engine made railroad logging practical. The huge demand for lumber for a growing America attracted investment and large-scale removal of the lush mountainsides covered with spruce forests. New Hampshire led the nation in spruce production for the decade of 1890-1900 with production peaking in 1907.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1594-B PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE WILDERNESS AND ROADLESS AREAS OF THE WHITE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL FOREST, COOS, GRAFTON, AND CARROLL COUNTIES, NEW HAMPSHIRE By Robert H. Moench and Frank C. Canney, U.S. Geological Survey and Gertrude C. Gazdik, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Great Gulf and Presidential-Dry River Wilderness Areas, and the Dartmouth Range, Wild River, Pemigewasset, Kinsman Mountain, Mount Wolf-Gordon Pond, Jobildunk, Carr Mountain, Sandwich Range, and Dry River Extension (two parcels) Roadless Areas, all in the White Mountain National Forest, Coos, Grafton, and Carroll Counties, New Hampshire. The Great Gulf Wilderness was established when the Wilderness Act was passed in 1964, and the Presidential-Dry River Wilderness was established by Public Law 93-622, January 3, 1975.
