The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) is creating a ten-acre preservation orchard at its Common Ground Education Center in the town of Unity. The Maine Heritage Orchard (MEHO) will be home to more than 500 apple and pear varieties traditionally grown in Maine. Many of these varieties are now on the verge of extinction. The orchard is planted on a terraced, reclaimed gravel pit and is managed using innovative, organic orchard practices.
