625 trees, 35 varieties, 26 years! In 1989 Vlasta Ulovec and Rod McNabb had no intention of becoming apple farmers. They were happy, living in Vancouver. But an ad for an organic orchard caught their attention. On a whim they took a look. That whimsical trip to Denman Island led them to buy the farm. It became Apple Lane Orchards. They, in turn, become part of the founding of the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market. “Our friends and family said we were crazy,” Vlasta recalls, with a grin. “And they were right: we didn’t know anything about growing apples! But we’ve learned. And we love it. It’s been a great experience.” Apple Lane Orchards currently boasts 625 trees and 35 varieties.
