Druid Blue Skies Orchards is owned and operated by Veteran Balsey Dean DeWitt. Mr. DeWitt, a combat Veteran, created the orchard as a pathway for Veterans returning from combat — a place to work the land, find purpose, and make a smooth transition back into their communities.
Today, that mission reaches our classrooms: crates of crisp, sweet Asian pears grown by veterans, shared with the students of Rockland Central School.
