UConn has a long history as an agricultural college and used to be a destination for fruit production research, extension, and education. After a decades-long hiatus, Evan Lentz ’19 ’22 (CAHNR) is reviving UConn’s fruit orchards on a 6-acre site at the University’s Plant Science Research Farm. Lentz, an extension educator specializing in commercial fruit crop production, has plans to share the fruits of his labor with Husky Nation and Connecticut residents.
