Farm Star Living Takes You Behind-the-Scenes: Meet Fowler Farms – Largest East Coast Apple Orchard and Processor

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2016 / Farm Star Living, a national lifestyle online brand promoting the farm-to-everything movement, takes us behind-the-scenes at Fowler Farms to see what apple growing and processing entails. Being the largest, most diverse, apple grower on the East Coast, Fowler Farms has generations of expertise and trend-setting, unique ways to grow and process over 20 varieties of apples – and delicious 100% pure ciders, and Farm Star Living captures it in feature story and videos.

“With it being the traditional apple season, I thought it would be exciting for our customers and consumers alike to see what it takes to grow great quality fruit behind-the-scenes at one of the largest apple growers in the US,” says Mary Blackmon, founder of Farm Star Living. “While there, we learned about so many amazing facets of the Fowler Farms business – including their amazing technology that takes 75 pictures of an apple per second! This was just one of the many ways they demonstrated that ensure only their best apples end up in-stores!”

Fowler Farms has been growing apples for more than 150 years, and it has been an ongoing tradition and tireless passion for the Fowler family. Fowler Farms participates widely in sustainable growing processes to lessen their impact on the planet and provides us all with a healthy bountiful harvest each season. However, their family approach goes beyond just their bloodlines, as many of their employees have been there for decades and are like family, too. For example, Smokey, who has been tending crops for over 30 fall harvest seasons, is featured in one of the Farm Star Living / Fowler Farms videos, and has been supervising some of the largest harvests that the Fowlers has ever had.

“We are growing over 20 varieties of apples now, which enthusiastic apple-lovers from coast to coast are enjoying. Our SweeTango and Empire varieties are in-store now, and the crop couldn’t have been better. We’ll have many more varieties on the shelves in the next few weeks – perfect for the holiday pies, casseroles, mulled ciders and more,” says Dave Williams at Fowler Farms.
