New Owners at the Orchard

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our story tonight is called New Owners at the Orchard, and it a story about a beloved spot in the village, getting fresh life as apple season is about to begin. It’s also about gathering baskets, pumpkins turning orange in their patch, a push broom leaned against the side of a barn and the joy of making something old, new again.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Humble Design Detroit. They change lives and communities by custom designing and fully furnishing home interiors for individuals, families, and veterans emerging from homelessness.
