One CommunityOne Community Welcomes Century Farm Orchards to Our Highest Good Food Team
One Community is happy to announce our newest partners at Century Farm Orchards. Century Farm Orchards is a small, century-long (thus the name) family owned and operated nursery specializing in old southern apples. Helping to preserve apples that were once widely grown in the United States from the 1600′s to the early 1900′s, David’s farm now offers many apples that cannot be purchased anywhere else in the world. More specifically, Century Farm Orchards is one of only two recipients of the Lee Calhoun apple collection of rare heirloom apples. The Calhoun apples offer a tremendous variety in taste, texture, and use that is no longer available in most stores and One Community is excited to partner with Century Farm Orchards as the provider of all of the apple trees that we will be growing in Walipini 2 as part of our Phase I food infrastructure and botanical garden model. Their focus is on quality over quantity and we are extremely happy to collaborate with and support Century Farm Orchards and the Calhoun apple legacy by doing our part to enhance public awareness, knowledge, and propagation of the amazing heirloom apple trees Century Farm Orchards provide.
