THE ORCHARD

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LIBERTY ORCHARD

Vermont State University (VTSU) has leased management of the apple orchard to nearby Liberty Orchard. This partnership allows for the university orchard to continue to be a campus resource that supports hands-on agricultural and horticultural training, classes, and events, and, that serves valuable community functions (including providing apple donations to area food banks and hosting school events).

Liberty Orchard is co-managed by a graduate of Vermont State Randolph, and uses Integrated Pest Management Strategies (IPM), as they’ve done for 30 years in their own orchard. This holistic management strategy allows for a significant reduction in pesticide usage, ultimately improving the overall health of the trees and the long-term quality of apples at the VTSU orchard.
