APPLE ORCHARD

Egg Harbor, Door County.  August, 1966. Altitude c. 1,000 ft. Fruit orchards occupy a large portion of this rolling landscape near the community of Egg Harbor. The orchard headquarters is at lower left. A large white building advertises this operation as "Eames Orchard". Tart cherries and apples are grown along the Door County Peninsula because of the moderating and modifying effects of Green Bay and Lake Michigan which reduce the danger of frost damage to the blossoms and fruit.
