New Projects:

100 Orchard Project – This is a long-term agro-forestry/mentoring program. We plan to help plant 100 orchards in the central Minnesota region over the next 5 years, and then be involved in sustainably maintaining them. This will establish a long term “community”, with plans eventually to plant some orchards in public spaces

Summer Internship – We are currently working with MISA to establish a “for-credit” summer internship program where students will be given the opportunity to spend one or two weeks at a number of different types of sustainable farming operations. They will be exposed to everything from a grass-based dairy, to a commercial market operation, to an agro-forestry “farm” to an alternative livestock and crop farm and so on.
