The next Peak Moment program, for March 5 and 6, is on innovation bearing fruit for a family farm.

Peak Moment host Janaia Donaldson tours the century-old organic Chaffin Family Orchards, where even the animals are “farm hands.” Visit chickens in their egg-mobile, scratching for bugs and pooping fertilizer in the heirloom stone-fruit orchards.

Goats chomp off low branches from the olive trees, so no fuel or human labor is needed. This certified predator-friendly enterprise includes 200 acres of olive trees plus various fruit and nut trees; sheep, goats, broiler and egg-laying chickens.

The Chaffin family distributes only locally through fruit and meat CSAs (community-supported agriculture), growers markets and a farmstand, providing fresh foods that burst with flavor and nuance. (chaffinfamilyorchards.com <http://chaffinfamilyorchards.com>
