The Scott Farm orchard manager, Ezekiel Goodband, utilizes growing practices that enhance the biodiversity of the orchard ecosystem - the more complex the ecosystem, the more stable it becomes, minimizing the potential for significant pest explosions. All their fruit is ecologically grown, and they are Eco-Apple certified. When an insect or disease can't be controlled adequately through cultural and biological practices they will choose a material to spray that will disrupt the orchard ecosystem as little as possible. They are quite willing to accept cosmetic blemishes on fruit knowing that it will be safe for their staff, your families, and friends.
