Subject: apple orchards
Douglas,
Thank you for your response.
I'm currently researching apple orchards in the State of Washington,
Yakima Valley specifically. There is an abundance of material regarding
the technical aspects of the industry - one of the prime orchardist
having also been an agricultural professor in the region. However,
there is no information regarding the day-to-day aspects of the
industry. I have a project that entails a standing caretaker's house
built in 1901. The building has never changed ownership, belonging to
the Congdon Orchard Company, and has always been used as a caretaker's
house (as far as I can gather). The building itself appears to be NRHP
eligible. Until recently, the house was surrounded by orchard. My goal
for research is determining the expected archaeological resources
associated with the structure. There appears to be no written material
on this aspect of the orchard industry. I am wondering if there is
literature on the subject of apple orchard structures and/or people or
if there has been archaeological investigations of orchard properties.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Michelle
