    How about growing your own orchard? Thinking about food safety? Quality? Or just simply saving money? Where does your apples, pears or peaches come from?


    Rob Moutoux of Moutoux Orchard, in Loudoun County, VA will present to Loudoun Green Drinks this month.

    Rob is a Board Member of Future Harvest A Chesapeake Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture (Future Harvest CASA) which works to promote profitable, environmentally sound and socially acceptable food and farming systems that work to sustain communities. He will be speaking informally about managing an organic orchard and generally about how to care for peach, plum, Asian pear, and apples trees.

    Location: Vintage 50 50 Catoctin Cir. NE #100 , Leesburg
    Date: October, 11 – Thursday
    Time: 6:30p
