Manor Lords Guide: How to Build and Use Apple Orchards
Learn how to build and use Apple Orchards in Manor Lords for a thriving settlement.
In Manor Lords, players can establish a thriving settlement by utilizing various resources and buildings. One such valuable addition is the Apple Orchard, which provides a steady supply of food for the villagers. This guide will explain how to build and use Apple Orchards effectively in Manor Lords.
Building an Apple Orchard
To build an Apple Orchard, players must first unlock the Orchardry development from the development tree. This development costs only one Development Point, making it an accessible option for most players. However, it is important to consider the investment required to build and maintain an Apple Orchard before unlocking this development.
Apple Orchards are not standalone buildings in Manor Lords. Instead, they are built as backyard extensions within Burgage Plots. To build an Apple Orchard, follow these steps:
- Construct a non-artisan Burgage Plot with a Level 1 or higher upgrade
- Ensure the Burgage Plot has a backyard extension
- Select the Apple Orchard extension option
- Pay 50 Regional Wealth to build the Apple Orchard

Using Apple Orchards Effectively
Apple Orchards take three years to reach full maturity, after which they will produce the maximum amount of Apples per harvest season. During the growth stages, the Orchard will still yield Apples, albeit in smaller quantities. Players should consider the following when using Apple Orchards:
- Build Apple Orchards early in the game to allow time for the trees to mature
- Ensure a reliable food source is available while waiting for the Orchards to reach full production
- Plan the size of the Orchard based on the settlement's food requirements and available labor
