Home Orchard Education Center

A 501(c)3 non-profit centered around an established fruit-focused arboretum, 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. 

Learn to grow, tend, and harvest fruit using sustainable methods. HOEC workshops offer hands-on learning opportunities that support organic fruit growing and orchard management. We welcome learners of all experience levels.

Grow and connect. Gain hands-on experience while connecting with like-minded food-growing enthusiasts! The HOEC community orchard is here to educate, contribute, and collaborate as we help to grow strong, local food systems and build community.
