A donation that made us and the environment smile...

Recently Huerta del Valley received a wonderful surprise! A new truck!! But this isn’t your “normal” kind of truck. Chet Corcos, a student from Harvey Mudd College was the engineering genius that transformed the truck’s engine. The eco-friendly design of batteries and electric charging allows the truck to run up to 30 miles on a full charge at speeds of about 45mph. In order to get a full charge all we have to do is plug the truck into the wall for a few hours. Better yet- the simple maintenance of 20 lead acid batteries only requires us to add water to the batteries in order to keep them working! It will cost the garden virtually nothing to have a useful vehicle on site. Every single member of the Huerta del Valley family would like to express their sincerest thanks and gratitude to Chet and Leon Corcos, Harvey Mudd College, and all others who made this donation possible.
