More AFTER THE FIRE stories

Although only a small percentage of the fruit trees at Noble Orchards were impacted by the fire Jim and Laurie Noble’s home and all of the outbuildings were completely destroyed rendering their business inoperable. Then, just as they began constructing new buildings to market, store and process apples, a hail storm in April 2022 severely reduced some of their apple varieties.

Still, they have persevered.

And, despite it all, Jim and Laurie find ways to help those whose lives were shattered even more than theirs.

For the remainder of October (or until the Granny Smith apples are depleted) if you come up to Noble Orchards at 7050 Pentz Road in Paradise Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday from 8am until 2pm grab some boxes and go out into the orchard to pick your own.

Pick five boxes and Jim and Laurie will donate four of those boxes to fire victims in other counties and you get to keep one box. Just want to pick your own? No problem; that’ll be twenty bucks.

Can’t make it to Paradise? They’ll be at Chico Farmers Markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays at least through October.
