Curran Apple Orchard is excited to announce a series of "pruning parties" set for February and March, designed to engage local volunteers in the care of its apple trees. These gatherings will take place on Saturdays, specifically on February 1, 15, and 22, and March 1, 15, and 29. Participants will receive hands-on experience in tree pruning while learning from master gardeners who will provide expert guidance on successful apple pollination and growth strategies. This initiative not only helps maintain the orchard’s health but also fosters community spirit and involvement in local agriculture. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up via email or the orchard's website to participate in this rewarding experience.

The pruning parties also highlight the importance of sustainable practices in agriculture, ensuring a bountiful harvest in the fall. As awareness of local food sources grows, events like these play a crucial role in connecting community members to their environment. Curran Apple Orchard stands as a model for how community engagement can support agricultural sustainability and educational opportunities.
