Bourbon Creek Orchards grows cherries at its orchard at Bourbon Avenue and manages orchards at two other sites for other growers.

Bourbon Creek Orchards employs a unique high density growing system to produce a high production output per hectare with good quality and offering protection from damage by wind and rain. While requiring skill to establish, this system is both low cost to maintain and harvest so providing a good payback on the initial set up costs.
