The Heritage Fruit Tree Project
Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado
Great story on KUNC about the Montezuma Orchard Restoration Project; another effort in Colorado to save our historical fruit trees!

We are currently helping the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute apply for a grant from Patagonia to expand a heritage fruit nursery and become our supplier of heritage fruit trees! The grant is finished and will be submitted in the next few days. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will have some good news!
Jerome is a master grafter and we hope to help him expand this small nursery and start getting trees in the ground all over the Roaring Fork Valley.
