Part of the Oneida Apple Orchard's goal is to generate interest in the area of agriculture as well as encourage our children to understand at a young age, the importance of growing healthy food, and finding natural ways to eliminate pests. The Oneida Apple Orchard hosts field trips for area schools. It has taught children that there are many techniques such as the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) where we only treat the crop when necessary and we are able to produce a
quality product in a safe sustainable way.

The Oneida Apple Orchard has 30 acres of original orchard and an additional 10 acres of new orchard, which totals approximately 4,000 trees. The majority of the apples are Macintosh, Cortlands, and Honey Golds with twenty other varieties also available. There is also a wide variety of fresh produce products such as: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, sweet corn, squash and pumpkins. The Apple Orchard offers pick your own apples or vegetables and we sell our produce at our retail store.

The title of our program tsyunhehkwa, is from the Oneida language, and a loose translation stands for "Life Sustenance." Tsyunhehkwa plays a pivotal role in the reintroduction of high quality, organically grown foods that will ensure a healthier and more fulfilling life, and being the facilitators of positive dietary and nutritional change.

Our primary focus is on self-sustainability and food security. Our staff of 13 people works to meet our community’s needs and our goals, however, we could not accomplish this without the support and help of the Oneida Nation, our community and friends.
