For over a quarter-century the Orchard, as a non-profit organization, has diligently worked to “save the good stuff”—the regional traditions, culture, and the land on which all was created. We propagate the best heirloom apples possible (with the least amount of chemicals), create a pollinator-friendly environment, and host activities for all ages that both 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.
We hope you’ll visit our general store; take a walk through the fields; pick apples in season; stand on our back deck and watch the barn swallows prepare to welcome new family members; sit at one of our picnic tables and have a bite with a view; read about our history; enjoy live music on our pavilion; or just hang out, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. Spend an hour or an afternoon with us at the family- and pet-friendly Orchard at Altapass.
