East Farm Apple Orchard

1 East Farm Road | South Kingstown, RI 02881

Maintained by URI Master Gardeners and Dr. Steve Alm, the East Farm Demonstration Apple Orchard serves as a venue for service learning projects. From August to November, URI Master Gardeners coordinate and lead educational field trips into the orchard, and participants help harvest fruit for donation to Rhode Island food pantries.
 
Orchard Pruning: This seasonal project (late winter/early spring) is designed to provide pruning maintenance of the unique crabapple and apple tree collections that exist at East Farm. Proper pruning techniques are taught to Master Gardeners, especially the new recruits.
