Our Portal Page

is the table of contents for our online orchard community, and therefore the perfect place to begin exploring. Position your cursor over any of the links, give a click, and a new window opens. We invite you to poke around, have fun, and to read more about our basic site protocols.

Ordering Time

Spring brings with it plans for the growing season ahead. Our Grower Resources page is a good place to check out healthy options. A recent post on choice of neem oil will be of special interest. And do remember those "suppliers who wear the star" help sponsor these efforts. Planning ahead can be an orchard art all unto itself.

We encourage you to get on our network mailing list for breaking news about fruit growing, along with a free subscription to our Community Orchardist newsletter.
