Donations
At Mercier Orchards, our roots run deep in this community. We believe that a harvest is meant to be shared, and giving back is at the core of what we do. As a veteran-owned business, service is part of who we are. We are proud to support local and national organizations by donating our products and partnering with groups that are making a real difference.
Project Chimps:
We are delighted to share our harvest with the residents of Project Chimps, a sanctuary providing lifelong care for retired chimpanzees. We donate fresh, crisp apples, offering a healthy and delicious enrichment treat for these amazing animals to enjoy.
Georgia House Rabbit Society:
Nothing goes to waste in our orchard! We support local house rabbit rescue organizations by donating apple sticks pruned from our trees. These sticks are the perfect natural chew toy, helping to keep the rabbits’ teeth healthy and providing hours of happy enrichment.
Marine Corps League:
As a veteran-owned and operated business, supporting our nation’s armed forces is personal. We are proud to honor that commitment by giving back to organizations that support U.S. Marines, veterans, and their families.
Snack in a Backpack:
We believe every child deserves access to healthy food. We proudly partner with Snack in a Backpack, a vital program that provides weekend food for children in our community who may face hunger at home. Our fresh apples are a nutritious, kid-friendly addition to these packs.
FFA (Future Farmers of America):
We are passionate about investing in the next generation of agricultural leaders. We partner with our local FFA chapter by welcoming students to work with us as baggers during our busy seasons. This hands-on experience supports their learning and provides our customers with friendly, helpful service.
