KC Bailey Fruit Farm

Photovoltaic panels help supply electricity at KC Bailey Fruit Farm

Founded in 1984, KC Bailey Fruit Farm consists of 150 acres of bearing apple trees and 20 acres of non-bearing apple trees. The operation currently grows more than 25 varieties of apples, most of which are sold at wholesale fresh markets. The orchard’s planting systems include tall spindle and vertical axe. KC Bailey Orcards is a vertically integrated operation, which includes 95,000 bushels of on-farm cold storage. The operation is powered by wind turbines, which provide clean energy for the entire farm.

KC Bailey Orchards predicts the “SweeTango® revolution” will provide a winning scenario for both consumers and growers. Consumers soon will enjoy SweeTango® apples anywhere in the country, and growers will enjoy marketing a superior product that is in high demand.
