Farming Practices

A focus of the orchard is the positive impact that farming on small acreage can have for our habitat, society, education as well as future generations- whether it be awareness or hands on programs.

The principles of agriculture, biology, history and botany are intertwined in the different sustainable agriculture programs that we've been a part of over the last 24 years.
