The book focuses on methods and practices aimed at enhancing the profitability of small apple orchards particularly in the Northeastern United States. It covers a wide range of topics, including planting, care, harvesting, and marketing of apples, making it a valuable resource for both novice and experienced orchardists. The opening of the book sets the tone with a preface that highlights the author's intention to present practical knowledge derived from personal experience as well as formal education. Burritt discusses the increasing demand for apples and the corresponding decline in their production, emphasizing the significant opportunities for apple growers.
