JMSB LIFE invites you to join us for a Saturday afternoon of apple picking.
There’s just something about the changing of the leaves and the crisp autumn air that beckons a visit to an orchard. Apple picking is, and seemingly always has been, a quintessential Canadian tradition. What better way to enjoy a fall day than getting the family out of the house and into the country? Besides, is there anything more delicious than taking a bite from a perfect, succulent apple plucked right from the tree? We certainly don’t think so.
The cost includes:
Transportation
A 10lbs bag of apples (picked yourself)
Access to the restaurant, Country store, Cidery, walking paths, and horse-drawn wagon rides
The bus departs from the Hall Building at 13h00 sharp!
