Three of PEI’s largest apple producers, packers and processors — Maple Farms, Red Shore Orchards and Arlington Orchards — have agreed to form the Prince Edward Island Tree Fruit Growers Association.
The last few years has seen an unprecedented expansion of apple acreage, and most of these growers are not targeting the u-pick sector, but rather the growing Honeycrisp export market.
Having the association will help address issues they face in achieving those goals.
