Orchard Updates

Pruning season is upon us!

Join us for an Curran Apple Orchard pruning party from 10am to 1pm on the following dates:

March 7, 21, and 28

WHAT TO BRING: Bring work gloves, hand pruners, and loppers. There will be some tools available to borrow.

Pruning instruction is available if you are unsure how to prune a tree or have a question. There is also guidance available on the Pruning webpage. If you do not have a tree but want to prune, please come! Check in at the barn when you arrive. When you are done pruning, be sure to initial the tree list by the barn so that we can track which trees have been pruned. We also need help dragging branches and moving mulch.

Light refreshments provided.

STUDENTS: Make sure to bring a liability release form signed by your parents.
