What's the Orchard Coalition?
The Orchard Rebels are the bruised, the buried, and the bold — fruits who refused to be composted by the Zestocratic regime. Rising from the roots of injustice, these fruits stand for truth, freedom of flavor, and the right to ripen on their own terms.
At the core of the movement is Rosa Appleton, the legendary apple who refused to give up her seat on the fruit truck. Beside her, Bernie Sandthorn, a thorny elder fruit with deep roots in justice, preaches equity from the pulpits of the orchard. In the shadows moves Agent Concord, a grape with nerves of steel and secrets that could split the entire country in two.
The Windtree Circle — mythic voices like Maya Angelroot, Toni Mooroot, and Martin Leaf Kingroot — serve as the spiritual lifeblood of the rebellion, reminding all fruits of the ancient power within their seeds.
United under the banner of The Orchard Coalition, the rebels organize underground zines like The Orchard Underground, stage flavor strikes, and jailbreak jailed fruitizens with nothing but truth, twine, and citrus-free courage. They’re not polished, but they’re powerful — and in a world overrun by rind, they’re the reminder that roots run deep.
