Tract 2 Organic Apple Orchard Auction, Willcox, AZ

Multi-Tract Auction - Tract 2 - Willcox, AZ Orchard

Five Tracts of the 472+/- Acre Briggs & Eggers Apple Orchard in Willcox, Arizona, will go to Auction April 4, 2024. Well-established certified organic orchard.  Now available for sale in smaller tracts.

The Briggs and Eggers Apple Orchard is a well-established organic certified orchard farming organically since 1990 and in operation since the 1980’s.  The property is located about 19 miles north of Willcox in Graham County, AZ. The City of Tucson and the Tucson International Airport is 93 miles west on Interstate 10 and a 90-minute drive from the property.

Many people are under the impression that Arizona is a very dry and hot southern state. While some regions are indeed dry and hot, Willcox is at 4,300 feet in elevation in a wide basin that is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The average high temperature in June and July is 96 degrees; in August the average high is 93 degrees. Summer evenings average a low between 58 and 65 degrees. This wide range of temperatures is ideal for growing fruit, because the cool nights cause sugar to settle in the fruit, making for sweet, tasty produce. Consequently, many growers raise cash crops such as wine grapes, apples, pistachios, hay, and vegetables. In fact, Willcox is known for many varieties of wine grapes. Water is produced by drilling into aquifers that are fed by the nearby mountains.  Average annual rainfall is approximately 12 inches and there are on average 277 days of sunshine!
