Ottawa apple orchards suffer crop failures after poor growing season


In the nearly 13 years Darryl Maloney has co-owned Log Cabin Orchard with his wife, Yazmin Maloney, he said this has been the worst yield yet. He estimates the poor growing conditions affected 70 per cent of this year's crop and changed the way he and his wife, Yazmin Maloney, have been able to operate their business. Darryl and Yazmin Maloney have owned and operated Log Cabin Orchard since 2009. The co-owner of Mountain Orchards said the cold spring and summer drought knocked off between 70 to 75 per cent of her crop. In general, she said orchards in south and eastern Ontario are producing a light crop all around.
