A non-profit 501 (c)(3) heirloom apple orchard, heritage music venue, and education center

SAVE THE DATE: JUNE 2
For over a quarter-century, the Orchard, as a non-profit organization, has diligently worked to “save the good stuff”—regional traditions, culture, and land on which all was created. As a preservation orchard with some trees over 100 years old and still producing, we propagate the best heirloom apples possible (with the least chemicals), create a pollinator-friendly environment, and host activities for all ages that educate, enlighten, and entertain.
MISSION
The mission of the Altapass Foundation, Inc. is to preserve the history, heritage, and culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains;
protect the underlying orchard land with its apples, wetlands, butterflies,
and other natural features; and educate the public about the Appalachian experience.
