We host educational work parties in orchards throughout the year! These tend to last 2-4 hours on Saturday mornings and cover seasonal topics such as:
• Winter Pruning
• Spring Mulching
• Spring Tree-planting
• Summer Pruning
• Thinning, Bagging, and Netting
• Summer and Fall Harvest
• Fall Orchard Clean-up
• Winter Integrated Pest Management
