AppleAtcha is a development project in eastern Kentucky that will be a vertical integrated apple facility. The Company aims to transform 1,000+ acres of reclaimed surface coal mining lands into a thriving commercial apple orchard. Currently, the company has successfully developed and planted 120,000 trees on 60 acres. Land prep has already started on an additional 70 acres, which will be ready for planting in the upcoming season. Plans are underway to prepare 400 acres for the 2024 planting season. The Company has secured the rights to develop the full 1,000 acres which will put Kentucky in the top ten apple producing states in the country.

AppleAtcha is a new and innovative player in the apple industry, boasting competitive advantages that set it apart from other orchards. Thanks to a strategic partnership with AppleQuest, Inc., the orchard leverages over 125 years of apple orchard operations experience. This unique combination of fresh ideas and seasoned expertise puts AppleAtcha in a prime position to excel in the market. AppleAtcha has formed a team of experienced professionals in the industry, including Community at the Core, University of Kentucky, USDA, West Virginia University, and Patriot Guardens. This collective serves as a valuable resource for the orchard.
