Stay strong man. It's a terrible loss for sure. I hope you can come back from this better and stronger for the future.

That sounds like a devastating blow for your harvest, but hopefully the bears will find plenty of better apples at someone else's place this season. I'll be cheering you on from behind my own vineyard wall as we navigate these tough times together.

😮‍💨

Found info, then Michigan DNR link 404’d, sorry. I’m sure there are a few of us boomers here more than happy to assist!

Sorry Ben, that is rough. Deer, birds, mildew, people stealing fruit, turkeys, raccoons have all been an issue before but bears are not something I have had to deal with…sorry you lost the whole vintage. Hang in there
