Arlington Orchards is a family run farm, with Carol and Barry Balsom celebrating their 20th year of growing apples in 2013.
The land where our orchards now grow has been used for PEI agriculture since the 1820s, with Carol having grown on this very same land. It was in 1992 that Carol and Barry decided to focus on growing the best apples possible. Our first trees were the McIntosh and Cortland, and we started with just a 1/2 acre. Since then, we have grown over 40 different varieties, and each year since then we have added other apple varieties, or have tried out new rootstocks on which to grow the varieties.
