Description
The Pine Hill School District will use the orchard to utilize an existing farm site that is currently underutilized. As part of a much larger program designed to leverage the farm for the educational needs of the community, it will develop human capital as well as disperse traditional knowledge across the younger generations contained within the community. The Pine Hill community is a food desert; this will move the control of this valuable food source locally.
