About Us:

The HOEC Community Orchard, located on the Clackamas Community College Campus is the base for all of our workshops, volunteer programming, and CSA operations. This 1.6 acre educational orchard serves as an important community space dedicated to the preservation of heirloom fruit varieties, hands-on opportunities for learning, and demonstration of home orcharding practices.

If you love exploring new tastes and want to sample a wide variety of apples & pears, this CSA share is for you! The primary focus of this share, is our unique mix of heirloom, modern, and lesser known apples and pears. Also included is a sampling of other interesting fruits such as aronia, elderberry, grapes, quince, persimmons, and more - the exact variety of fruits depends on the weather and the harvest.

We believe that making a connection to the food you eat and the land where it is grown is important, and we encourage CSA participants to spend time in the orchard! You will receive an invite to a fun fresh cider pressing event in fall, monthly emails filled with recipes, and educational information, as well as an open invite to spend time enjoying the orchard any time we are open. So come hang out, explore, have a picnic, choose a favorite tree, and watch the fruit grow.
