We’ve created an Orchard!

60 apple trees were donated to the Nutrition Services Department back in 2018. The orchard site is near Viking Elementary, located on the highest point of the old cross country course.

FFA members from the Agriscience Department, along with their instructor Roger King and Orchard specialist Dave Shefelbine were instrumental in getting this project going.  Check back with us often to see the growing progress of our orchard!

In the fall of 2018, the orchard became an outdoor learning lab for our students in the new Agriscience Academy, and in the future will provide the students of the School District of Holmen fresh apples for our lunch rooms.
