Indian Creek will have apples, peaches, pears, plums, grapes, raspberries, flowers, veggies, and herbs ready to pick. For just $5 (CBE Women covers the rest!), you will get a mini-tote bag to fill with whatever you like, and yes, you can snack while you pick. We will then wrap things up with some warm apple cider donuts for everyone. 🍩✨

This outing is a perfect way to meet new faces, catch up with friends, and enjoy Ithaca at one of its prettiest times of the year. Spots are limited to the first 40 people, so RSVP by Monday, September 1st, to save your spot and let us know about rides.
