The Voice of
the Apple Industry

Bryson Nix of Apple Wedge Packers in Hendersonville, NC takes us into the orchard for one of the season’s most important jobs: thinning. By carefully managing crop load, she’s setting up each apple for the right size, color, and quality that shoppers look for on grocery store shelves. At her 6th-generation family farm and 2nd-generation packing operation, Bryson knows that every great apple starts long before harvest.
