CONWAY — Elaine Hatch, owner of Hatches Orchard in Center Conway, said the orchard is enjoying the best crop she has seen in her half-century of growing apples.

“The apples this year are the best ever,” said the 80-year-old retired schoolteacher in an interview Sunday at the beautiful orchard she and her late husband, Bruce Hatch, purchased on Christmas Eve 1971.
