Summary
This Beaver Island Net local-history page records an orchard identified as Pfeiffer’s Orchard and preserves retrospective accounts of its production, apple transport, and later untended grapevines. It is a source node for the island-farming research cluster, not a mapped orchard or a property history.
Evidence and limits
The page’s source-specific spelling varies between its heading and body, so both forms are retained without deciding a preferred historical spelling. Its claim about advice attributed to Michigan Agricultural College is local memory; it does not demonstrate that institution’s advice, its contents, causation, or an orchard-production history. The page does not establish current or historical ownership, a precise location, boundaries, or a continuous trail connection.

Sources
- The retrospective page describes an orchard near Kilty’s Point, an apple collection trip from Nomad, and a reported decline after advice attributed to Michigan Agricultural College. It does not supply property, employment, institutional, or horticultural records.
