We have modified our Group format for 2020 to provide Covid-19 precautions.  Please read details below; we appreciate your co-operation and understanding. 

Elementary School or Daycare 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 including accompanying children is YOUR responsibility!
​
  • Minimum charge of $120 per group booking is based on 15 participants total; maximum group size recommendation is 50. 
  • Price: $8.00 each, including all staff and parent volunteers.  Please ensure sufficient adult supervision - recommendation is no more than 5 children per adult. 
  • Duration: 60 minutes.
  • Each child is provided a small drawstring bag to hold their apples. The bags are reusable, washable mesh bags that hold 10-12 apples. The children get to keep and re-use their environmentally-friendly packaging!
  • ​Staff and Parent Volunteers will receive a 5-lb plastic drawstring picking bag that holds about 20 apples. 
  • 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 children 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.
