We have modified our Group format for 2020 to provide Covid-19 precautions. Please read details below; we appreciate your co-operation and understanding.
Secondary or Post-Secondary School Groups
From September 16th to October 9th, you can book a weekday morning or afternoon to visit us with your group for an apple picking outing in our orchard. We'll greet your group at the entrance to our orchard and teach you how to properly pick an apple (yes, there is a right way!) Group organizers are responsible to supervise and facilitate the apple picking and group activities. All outdoor activities involve some degree of risk. Please remember that your safety and that of participants is YOUR responsibility!
- Minimum charge per group booking is based on 15 participants (ie, $195); a maximum of 50 per group is recommended.
- Price: $13.00 each, including all staff and parent volunteers. Please ensure sufficient teacher/adult supervision.
- Duration: 60 minutes.
- Each participant receives a 10-lb plastic drawstring picking bag.
- The picnic area is closed this year and no other food or snacks are to be consumed on our premises (aside from water bottles for hydration).
- It is recommended that the bus stays during the outing, especially if the potential for rain exists. Ensure participants are dressed for the weather (sturdy footwear, hats, jackets, sunscreen, etc). Bring along drinking water. Water from our portable hand-washing station is not potable. Bottled water may be purchased at our Farm Store.
