Students will learn the science and study the art. There is farming and processing fruit, bottling and selling. We get to do it all. We call it Learn by Doing, but it is much more than that. Here, we can learn by trying things for the sake of exploration and innovation. We consider taste, climate, health, culture, history and so much more.
