Canadian Valley Farms is an 80-acre family farm in Lexington, OK that produces heirloom, chemical-free vegetables, as well as honey, and meat from heritage breed livestock. They used their $5,000 grant to plant an orchard of 250 disease-resistant, rare southern heirloom apple trees.
“Although this project was just completed this fall and early winter, we’ve already inspired a lot of support from our community, as we’re the first farm within 200 miles to plant apple trees. This project will allow us to host many orchard-related events on our farm, while continuing to engage the public by using the farm as a place for our community to learn about local food systems.” —Andy Wooliver, owner
