Apple-lovers from all over gathered at Fenceline Cider last Saturday for the Montezuma Orchard Restoration Project\u2019s annual social.<\/p>\n
The social featured cider tasting, music and more, and was hosted by the Mancos cidery and MORP, a nonprofit founded by Addie and Jude Schuenemeyer to help preserve heritage apple varieties and revive an apple economy in Southwest Colorado.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is such a fun event honoring our fruit-growing heritage,\u201d said Addie Schuenemeyer in an email to The Journal<\/em>. \u201cWe had a great turnout at the Orchard Social with several different groups traveling all the way from the Front Range to attend as well as to purchase heritage apple trees.\u201d<\/p>\n At the event, 75 heritage apple trees were sold, and kids were able to learn apple-pressing techniques, according to Schuenemeyer.<\/p>\n \u201cWe had lots of conversations about old apples, historic orchards, and plans for our region\u2019s fruit-growing future,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Orchardists were able to enter their apples into a Homegrown Apple Show.<\/p>\n Sue and Dave Murray\u2019s Winter Banana apple won Best of Show, earning them a heritage apple tree hand-grafted by MORP.<\/p>\n Music was provided by Loki Moon.<\/p>\n ealvero@ the-journal.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Heritage apple nonprofit sells 75 trees at Fenceline event<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5937,5737,5736,5793,5735,5741,5936],"tags":[782,28,83,29,4151],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-64700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-governmental-entities","category-headlines","category-local-news","category-mancos","category-news","category-newsletter","category-waste-management-and-pollution-control","tag-governmental-entities","tag-headlines","tag-mancos","tag-newsletter","tag-waste-management-and-pollution-control"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64700"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92130,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64700\/revisions\/92130"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64700"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=64700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
