Home Orchard Education Center

The HOEC Community Orchard, located on the Clackamas Community College Campus is the base for all of our workshops, volunteer programming, and CSA operations. This 1.6 acre educational orchard serves as an important community space dedicated to the preservation of heirloom fruit varieties, hands-on opportunities for learning, and demonstration of home orcharding practices.

The Home Orchard Education Center (HOEC) is focused on horticultural education, community building through volunteerism, and providing hands-on opportunities for food growing enthusiasts. We believe that everyone should have the knowledge and power to build stronger, healthier, more independent food systems. We have come very far in our 4 years in operation- however, we want to do more! Our hope is to provide low to no-cost access to our programming and services to even more of our community.
