SPRING HAS SPRUNG AT RODALE INSTITUTE
Blooming Apple Blossoms 
Our North Orchard was planted in the 1980's when Rodale Institute partnered with Cornell University to determine best practices for growing apples organically. Our orchards contain about 30 different varieties total on our farm. Join us in September for our 8th Annual Organic Apple Festival, where you can taste and purchase our organic apples for yourself!
Spring Babies
Along with our recently born lambs, two goats, Marigold and Clover, also became moms. We've welcomed five "kids" to our goat family and are expecting more soon! Iris, another Rodale Institute goat, will be giving birth at any moment now!
