Description

Help us tackle our to-do list! No experience is necessary to help us complete seasonal orchard tasks. Gibbs Farm Heritage orchard has over 30 varieties of heirloom and UMN developed apples. In order to keep our crop safe from insects without using harsh chemical pesticides we use more time intensive methods like apple bagging, sticky traps, fencing and organic treatments.

Projects are great for students, families, small groups (scouts, 4-H ect.) and individuals. Children under 12 should sign up with an adult.
