The Olympic Orchard Society, a Western Cascade Fruit Society Chapter, promotes interest in growing fruit- or nut-bearing trees and plants in Clallam County. The organization brings together orchardists and backyard growers who support each other and encourage propagation of desirable fruit and nut varieties suited to the local climate.
Group members do this by sponsoring fruit shows, orchard tours, field trips, meetings, seminars, demonstrations, workshops and publications.
