Morning Glory Orchard Opens Fall Season After Severe Crop Losses
What happened
Morning Glory Orchard, a farm shop in Nolensville, Tennessee, is preparing for its fall season amidst severe operational challenges. The owner stated that the orchard lost roughly half its apple crop this year due to a combination of a January ice storm that affected over 20 trees, a March frost, and subsequent drought and summer heat. To offset the losses, the orchard has diversified its offerings to include cider, donuts, jams, and jellies.
