We have honey! Thank you to our volunteer beekeeper Sherrie for taking such wonderful care of 'the girls' during their first year as the hives get established.

Thank you Douglas County Community Foundation and others for your continued support of these community projects.

It's always great to meet another annual group of KU Super Service Saturday student volunteers. I think this is the 10th year they've volunteered at Little Prairie and we're so appreciative! They got a lot done!

Adopt a tree in the orchard!

We're excited to try a new micro-volunteering option that's now available for sign up at the link below. You or an organization that you belong to can claim individual trees (one or more) that you maintain throughout the growing season. This should only take 10-20 minutes per tree each week with simple tasks to make the experience easy and time efficient for both kids and adults.

In addition, we'll provide guidance and group classes to those registered to further your knowledge on fruit tree production. Claim your tree(s) at the link below and we'll be in touch to get you started.

After nearly 6 years of hard work by many, our first apples are ready to pick from the orchard. A bit early, you might say? This variety called Pristine ripens usually in July but we might be a bit a bit early this year. We have 5 trees of Pristine located on the 6th row of the orchard if you count rows moving east from the west side of the orchard near Nigel Dr. The trees have orange tape on the branches to indicate they're ready. If you have any issues locating them, please let us know. Some apples might need some time to ripen, so the more yellow they are, the better.

Get them before nature does. Please leave other trees alone at this time and we'll let you know when they're ripe.

Take what you need, leave some for others. ♥️
