Apple Farm puts community at the core of its business

All hands on deck in the build-up to harvest time

Con Traas: Owner, the Apple Farm

There is a palpable sense of anticipation at the Apple Farm near Cahir in these weeks leading up to harvest time. With the bounty of 40,000 trees to pick, it is an annual period of well organised activity as all available hands are engaged on a common purpose.

“It is normally a time of great expectancy in terms of the apple harvest, but thankfully we are kept busy all year with the other fruits we produce here at the farm,” Con explains.
