"Cultivating Growth, Harvesting Opportunities: Patriot Guardens Apple Project - Empowering Heroes in Orchard Innovation"
What is it?
The Patriot Guardens Apple Project is an experimental apple orchard on over 100 acres of a reclaimed mine site. This location expands opportunities to veteran and active duty soldiers and their families by providing research, education, hands-on training, and sales opportunities in relation to orchard care, maintenance, and product production.
Highlights
In 2023, the PG Apple Project transplanted more than 3,000 grafted trees for sale to veterans and military individuals planning small orchards. 1,020 pounds of honey was collected from 80 hives that support the Apple Project orchard, which generated $6,120 in program revenue.
