The Orchard

The new orchard will harvest mainly peaches and apples but will also include vegetables. The vegetables will consist of tomatoes, lettuce, pumpkins, and onions. Variety will be key to stretching out the harvest season to achieve maximum education. The orchard will be divided in half into two functions, experimental and production. The experimental side of the orchard will have dedicated plots of land where students can preform research and teach younger students hands-on. The production side of the orchard will be dedicated to growing successfully-known produce that can be reliable for a profit. In addition, the site will have a irrigation pond which will also be used for recreational purposes. The project will include a [1] orchard, consisting of a farmer’s market, a production facility, recreational storage, a community center, observatory and outdoor storage. [2] Multi-use housing will be designed for migrant/field workers, students, and faculty. [3] Educational facilities will be dedicated to university or college students and younger students (kindergarten through high school).
