This Weekend at the Orchard: Clay, Yoga, Apples & Sunshine!

Hey orchard friends! The Sierra Nevada foothills are glowing right now - warm days, crisp mornings, and the sweet smell of apples in the air. This weekend (and tomorrow!) is packed with fun, flavor, and hands-on magic. Grab your tote, your yoga mat, or just your appetite - we’ve got something for everyone. Here’s your full weekend lineup:

TOMORROW (Thursday, Oct 30): Arkansas Blacks Hit the Tables!

Fresh Picked and ready for purchase at 11:00 AM. They will go fast so get here before the end of the weekend!

Our deep, dark, glossy Arkansas Black apples are coming straight off the trees tomorrow morning! These beauties are crisp now, but get even sweeter with a little time in your fruit bowl. Perfect for snacking, baking, or gifting. First come, first served! Find out more about these beauties and what they offer HERE!

SATURDAY: Yoga in the Orchard with Jenni Dallis

All levels welcome – bring your mat!

Flow among the apple trees with our favorite yogi, Jenni Dallis. Breathe deep, stretch easy, and soak in the mountain views.
