Apple cider CAES News
Georgia Cider Industry 11/26/24 Michael Terrazas
The apples growing in the University of Georgia’s Heritage Apple Orchard have long histories in Southern kitchens. Some of the 139 varieties sat on tables as sweet dessert apples, while others were staple ingredients for everything from savory main courses to the all-American apple pie. Some also found their way into bottles. Prohibition and broader cultural and economic changes took a big bite out of the U.S. cider industry. Recently, however, cider has made a comeback.

CAES REC 11/06/24 David Mitchell
Research in the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences runs the gamut — from plants, animals and dairy science, and crop and soil sciences to entomology, food science and technology, and more. It’s an expansive agenda, too broad to be housed on the university’s 760-acre main campus. For that, CAES turns to its eight off-campus research and education centers located all over the state.

Its 139 varieties hail from a time when Georgia was a major player in the country’s apple industry. (Photo by Michael Terrazas) CAES News
Heritage Apple Orchard 10/17/24 Michael Terrazas
On a fine day at the University of Georgia Heritage Apple Orchard, you can see the fringing peaks of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest rising around like a hedgerow, guarding against whatever forces might encroach. When Stephen Mihm looks over the tops of the 275-odd dwarf apple trees that constitute the orchard, he sees more than a pretty view of the Appalachian foothills. He sees clear into Georgia’s past.
Using robotics to help sort onions on Georgia farms CAES News
Onion Sorting Robot 04/15/24 David Mitchell
During the pandemic, labor problems became acute on many farms in Georgia and across the country. Farms once staffed by humans to bring produce from the field to stores for purchase were suddenly short-staffed, and the global supply chain was severely impacted. Working with UGA’s Vidalia Onion and Vegetable Research Center and A&M Farms in Lyons, Georgia, a team of researchers led by School of Computing Professor Prashant Doshi is designing collaborative robots to mitigate some of these potential challenges.
