Community Orcharding depends on local growers raising nutritious fruit for friends and neighbors. Our Holistic Orchard Network focuses on sharing sustainable fruit growing techniques that emphasize orchard soil health which in turn makes for healthy trees and thus healthy apples and -- blessed be! -- healthy people.

We invite all experienced fruit growers to join us. Open-minded researchers are welcome as well. We expect you to share about your orchard in some detail AND post a profile image AND use a real name. People just learning about orcharding may gladly read our discussion but please understand that actually working with bearing fruit trees is what will determine if you can be a contributor to this forum.
