Heritage School Orchards and Curricula

MORP’s work in local schools in partnership with the Montezuma School To Farm Program (MSTFP) during 2015-2017 established seven school orchards (six elementary and one high school). Students participated in planting the orchards accompanied by MORP pruning and grafting demonstrations and heritage orchard curricula developed by MSTFP. This work was made possible by a 2015 Colorado USDA Specialty Crop Grant award to MORP.

Heritage Orchard Curricula available for teachers and students to meet Colorado Common Core Standards:
