    Orchard Heritage Park and Interpretive Exhibit

    OHPIE 's exhibit honors the families that built the valley


    Talk of this valley's orchard past usually conjures up faded but still-pungent memories of acres of trees deep in bloom--an era when time was marked by the changing seasons, rather than fiscal quarters. Although most of the area's farmland has given way to office complexes and housing developments, one group is dedicated to retaining a small corner of the valley's agricultural past: Sunnyvale's Orchard Heritage Park and Interpretive Exhibit (OHPIE). The organization's preservation efforts will save 10 acres of an operating Sunnyvale orchard. The land, next to the Sunnyvale Community Center, will serve as a park and permanent exhibit, displaying panels of text and photographs on the area's orchard past and its original farming families.   More
