Outlook Crops
Our family produces a variety of unique, full flavored apples,
peaches and pears and on over thirty acres of orchards. Baldwins and
Northern Spies are just a few of the old time favorite apples that can
still be found in our country store. Macouns and Honey Crisp are the
current favorites that everyone wants!
Our peaches, the Alberta's and Sweet Sue's, are known as the
juiciest peaches, bursting with outrageous flavor in every bite. People
agree you have to come to Outlook Farm for the sweetest peaches around!
Clapp's Favorite, Bartlett and Bosc are the pears we harvest.
Nectarines, cherries, plums, raspberries, asparagus and strawberries
grow abundantly and the greens, tomatoes and the many vegetables from
the garden are plentiful.
Integrated Pest Management - IPM
We have farmed for over 30 years following an
Integrated Pest Management system that we have studied with the
Extension Service at the University of Massachusetts. IPM is an
ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests
or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological
control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices and
use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring
indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and
treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism.
Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that
minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms,
and the environment.
