Apple orchards in Azwell, Washington surrounding a community of pickers' cabins
Orchards by region
Apple orchards in Azwell, Washington surrounding a community of pickers' cabins
Sour cherry orchard on Lake Erie shoreline (Leamington, Ontario)
The most extensive orchards in the United States are apple and orange orchards, although citrus orchards are more commonly called groves. The most extensive apple orchard area is in eastern Washington state, with a lesser but significant apple orchard area in most of Upstate New York. Extensive orange orchards are found in Florida and southern California. In eastern North America, many orchards are along the shores of Lake Michigan (such as the Fruit Ridge Region), Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario.
In Canada, apple and other fruit orchards are widespread on the Niagara Peninsula, south of Lake Ontario. This region is known as Canada Fruitland and, in addition to large-scale commercial fruit marketing, it is a favorite playground for "pick-your-own" activities in the summer.
Murcia is a major orchard area (or la huerta) in Europe, with citrus crops. New Zealand, China, Argentina and Chile also have extensive apple orchards.

Discussion
Since this text does not refer to a particular number of manzanas, I think there is no need to use the word. All it means is an excess area. A natural way to express this, in my opinion, would be "acreage".
Firstly, in this context "manzana" is a unit of area measurement for agricultural purposes, which is equal to 0.7 Ha.
My doubt here was about "establecimiento", but I think it could be translated as:
cultivation of manzanas.
What do you think?
