The Home Orchards Approach

What Makes a Tree Work?

Useful trees have to fit the property, the purpose, and the amount of care you want to give them. Just as important, they should be trees you are excited to have. We start with what you want, then use our experience to help shape a planting that fits the site and gives the trees a strong start.

  1. Right tree

    A tree you want and will enjoy, chosen with the site, purpose, and Central Pennsylvania conditions in mind.

  2. Right place

    Enough room, light, drainage, and space for the tree to grow.

  3. Right planting

    Correct depth, roots, mulch, staking, and support from the beginning.

  4. Right protection

    Deer and other predictable risks addressed before they become a problem.

  5. Right expectations

    Clear, realistic expectations about growth, care, and harvest.

  6. Right level of involvement

    A planting that matches how hands-on or hands-off you want to be.

From Your Idea to Planting

A Clear Path to Planting

Every project starts with a conversation about your property and the trees or planting you have in mind. From there, we help you plan the details and carry the project through planting day.

  1. Tell us about your property and your goals.

    Share what you would like from the space, the trees or plantings you have in mind, and anything important about the property.

  2. Talk through the idea.

    We’ll ask a few useful questions, answer yours about the project, and help clarify the direction.

  3. Walk the property and plan your planting.

    We look at the site with you, answer your questions about the project, and shape a plan around your goals and the property. Then we prepare a clear proposal.

  4. Schedule your planting day.

    Once the plan is approved and the project is reserved, we schedule the work and install the planting for a strong start.

Planting dates depend on season, route, and tree availability. Before the project is scheduled, we’ll make sure you know what is included and what to expect.

Customer Experience

What Customers Say

Home Orchards is the best, period. They're dedicated, they're experts in local crops, and they're very approachable for a novice. Home Orchards helped with the entire process, and taught us along the way! Highly recommend.

Josh B.

Awesome experience! Very responsive, very knowledgeable, easy to work with. While I could’ve tried to plant fruit trees on my own, I’d rather spend a little more and give them much better chance of actually producing fruit. And after learning just a little bit about fruit trees, I’m sure if I would’ve done it myself they would have died. I would highly recommend Kalan.

Eric M.

Kalan Schlegel is incredible to work with. Kalan is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and easy to work with - and the full service he provides is incredible - everything from helping to select trees to putting up fences to protect the trees to teaching us how to care for them. Really top notch and we can't recommend him enough.

A separate, paid pathway

Already Have Fruit Trees?

We also work with homeowners who already have fruit trees and need help deciding what to do next. A paid visit can help determine what is worth saving, what may need pruning, what should be replaced, and where better trees could be added.

Existing-tree visits follow a paid pathway. This route is separate from support for current Home Orchards clients.
