Our COMMUNITY
Local Students Partner with Smokey House
This fall Smokey House Center welcomed students from eight local schools to participate in collaborative hands-on research focused on cataloging and characterizing the many wild apple varieties growing across Smokey House ’ s 5,000 acre property . Schools ranged from preschool through middle school and included Currier Memorial School , Sunderland Elementary , Flood Brook School , Northshire Day School , Long Trail School , Dorset School , Maple Street School , and Red Fox Community School .
During the fall visits , students toured Smokey House ’ s wild apple orchards , collected apples for Yoder Farm , and participated in lessons on apple ecology and wild apple tree identification . They conducted taste tests to explore flavor and texture characteristics , learned how to test for sugar levels using a Brix refractometer and gathered data in groups on appearance and weight of different varieties . Each school then voted on their favorite apple and anointed their selected variety with a name . The project not only fostered environmental awareness and scientific curiosity but also built a lasting connection between students and the land , teaching them the importance of human driven land stewardship and resilient agriculture in building a just and abundant future . Winning names included “ The Currier Galaxy ” ( Currier Memorial School ), “ Smokey Fox ” ( Red Fox Community School ), “ Maple Crisp ” ( Maple Street School ), “ The Tiger Apple ” ( Flood Brook School ), “ Dorset Delicious ” and “ Dorset Divine ” ( Dorset School ), “ The LT Brix ” and “ Long Trail Crispy Chips ” ( Long Trail School ), and the “ Sonny Delish ” ( Sunderland Elementary School ).
