Home Orchard Education Center
A 501(c)3 non-profit centered around an established fruit-focused botanical garden, located in Clackamas County, Oregon.
HOEC offers horticultural education, volunteer opportunities, a venue for inter-generational connection, and fruit-focused CSA subscriptions within a unique Community Orchard setting. This special gathering place is a humming hive of community collaboration, and a hub for the distribution of fresh, local, naturally grown fruit.
