Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA Chapter 

On Oct. 5, the Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA Chapter had the opportunity to install our very own fruit orchard. An organization based out of Cincinnati with the goal of planting small orchards in the area donated their time by coming and helping us plant these trees. 

Many FFA members came and assisted in digging holes, planting the trees, and placing cages around the trees to protect from wildlife. The installation was very successful and we hope to have fruit in the near future.
